My OTHER favourite Talis benediction, kind of as a chaser to my elegy on Jimmy, and a general goodnight for Summer...

This is The Grace and the Gift, closing the Festival at the Edge, 23 July 2023. Talis Kimberly, a capella, in both sense of that phrase.

Usually this is a blowout number, but ADHD brain knows better than to wait, and besides, you might just be finishing a social media cycle and about to go (back) out, so here you go.

Talis Kimberley - she's been doing this song for a while, but has finally put up a recorded version, which I'm excited to share.

"Go Thou Well", live at "Festival at the Edge", about a month ago.

I've been running Tomorrow's Songs Today through #Grammarly for the second edition. There's so much fannish and #filk jargon that 95% of the suggestions are nonsense, but it's found enough typos to be worth it.

My filkish brain at work... I was thinking about Baba Yaga, the Russian version of the boogeyman... and I immediately jumped to funk, and rabbitholed until I came up with Maurice White, the bandleader of Earth Wind and Fire....

He's the boogie man. 😈

(Hey, it's almost September....)

Working on recording stuff for The Gekkos: Maximum Nostalgia II. While I do, why not check out our most popular song from the first volume of Max Nostalgia?

This #throwbackthursday, check out The Gekkos' first hit, "Pokemon League of the Living Dead" https://open.spotify.com/track/4TQuWcYurQKemx7aE4lX8D?si=2df284c08ace43ee

This song is our "Stairway to Heaven", our "Freebird". We can never escape it.

It’s #BandcampFriday at the end of this week—August 4th! What #music are you thinking of getting?

I want to buy Vic Tyler’s recently re-released iconic #filk song “Dawson’s Christian” with its new mix and handful of remixes. https://victyler.bandcamp.com/album/dawsons-christian

I also have been obsessed with Jay Rivera-Herrans’s #musical retelling of The #Odyssey, “Epic: The Musical” since April, and want to show my appreciation (and listen to it over and over again.) https://jayherrans.bandcamp.com/

Updated poster art for Maximum Nostalgia Volume 1!

Have you checked out the album yet? https://open.spotify.com/album/04P8SedWaQXH7TPwtfkc7H?si=wQeS2iIDSbOZ_dxgo25q-g

The newest posts from @filknews that I can see from this account are 12 hours old. I have a feeling nobody is getting the new posts.

I just posted a link to next year's UK #filk convention: Triple Time, Feb. 2-4, 2024, Manchester area. http://www.contabile.org.uk/tripletime/

This has been playing in my brain all day, help me complete it?

There was three men come out of the west
The future for to buy,
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Mastodon should die.
They NDAd, they scorned, didn’t research him,
Throwed slanders at his head.
And these three men made a solemn vow:
John Mastodon was dead.

Happy Place. This is not an old song, but it sounds like one... funny, the *arrangement* involves a vamp older than the song... Sadly, I think Wild Mercy have played (or at least scheduled) their last hurrah _together_... but no matter, Jen and the big damn pedal harp have literally yesterday just finished recording a NEW ALBUM... MOAR PEDAL HARP!!

This is "Queen of All Argyll"!

Well, he was a king, and he ruled the Franks,
The date was about 800, thanks,
And Pepin the Short was king after his reign...

Whoa-ho-ho, sweet Charlemagne.

(Now Axl Rose can hate me too.)

🎵Are you, are you, going to post feet?

It’s not like we are ever going to meet

Strange things have happened, no stranger would it be

If you were to post your feet for free🎵

#filk #feet #FootFetish

Grout, grout
Scrub it all out
These are the stains I can do without
Come on
I'm talking mildew
So come on

Je me remets à écrire des chansons. Ici :
"Female characters on riot"

sur la mélodie de "Cansion sin miedo"
Un peu honte d'utiliser une chanson si forte pour mon texte si faible et aux enjeux moindres, mais bon.

Today was a very good day. We-here got to see some most excellent people, and make music with them. One of the songs they sang for us was this one, which first hooked my brain when I was face-down in a massage chair on a mutual friend's back deck, overlooking a gorgeous natural ampitheatre flanked by two sentinel evergreens.

Cathy McManamon with Jason Neerenberg (and gundo on the studio track), "Water".
