YouTube - Senses Working Overtime (Remastered 2001)

On the Mental Soundtrack tonight, because there's always a point when I'm recovering from one of my acute Crankybod<tm> attacks that my brain goes from flat-brainwave to all senses working way TF overtime 🤣

Was feeling drained due to recent/still resolving stomach issues, but then this song showed up in my feed and lifted me up.

RIP Toots Hibbert, taken in 2020 by COVID.

My packrat brain has reminded me that the lyrics of this old song might have some unintended and heightened resonance with these modern times. 🥺

YouTube - The Prodigy - Breathe (Official Video)

This little ditty has been stuck in my brain for a few days now, but I didn't quite get the message until today, when my area is once again under an air quality alert due to upwind wildfires. (My subconscious can be very sardonic.)

YouTube - Minuano (Six Eight)

@weirdofhermiston Alas it looks like Shazam only works off of music playing on the web - I'm not seeing any way to sing to it. However! I discovered I could sing the tune to Google - and after a few tries it did ID it! And I was right it was Pat Metheny, just wrong album - I was convinced it was on "As Falls Witchita, So Falls Wichita Falls" - which it's not; it's also in 6/8, not 3/4. 🙂

It's time yet again to cue up my favorite Mental Soundtrack tune for whenever the Orange Menace racks up another indictment. No idea whether this one will have any greater effect than the ones before, but I'll still get as much schadenfreude mileage out of this moment as possible.

Having myself another existential brood, so here's some more Steely Dan on my moody Mental Soundtrack tonight.

Still more existential blues on my Mental Soundtrack today, once again courtesy of Steely Dan, from their wonderful comeback album Two Against Nature (which IMO totally deserved its GRAMMY wins).

Steely Dan is a great band to be a fan of when your brain needs some appropriate Mental Soundtrack for feelings of existential fear-and-loathing. (Which it has needed every day for some time now.)

Mental Soundtrack: This song happened to come to mind earlier this evening ... and then I imagined doing it up as drag king karaoke, in Randy's original pitch, and now my brain can't stop giggling. 😎

A musical memory, 1991:

Teen daughter of my (cis-het lesbian) then-partner: So what would you like for the holidays?

Me: How about that new Nirvana album?

Her:

Me: Hmmmm?

Her: I thought you'd be into, like, John Denver, like my mom.

Years later, this still cracks me up.

On my Mental Soundtrack today: I was a Peter Gabriel fan from way back when he was fronting the original Genesis (before that band turned from prog to pop). These days I find that the lyrics of his first song as a solo artist speak whole new meanings to me.

Continuing this tangent of "Songs from my youth that I'd now love to do as drag king karaoke:" I love a number of songs by this punk/power-pop songwriter with the acerbic lyrics and fascinatingly rich vocals, but this one always cracked me up - all the more so these days.

Heh, I see my Mental Soundtrack meander is more overtly turning into "songs from my youth I would now love to perform as drag king karaoke." For example: just about anything by this dude, but maybe especially this song.

Mental soundtrack: so much great music was pouring over the airwaves in my teen years, now I'm just picking songs/artists at random that made an impression on me back then. This young rebel, for instance, already stirring things up way the hell back in 1965. "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows..."

Further musings on the music of my youth: I know The Who have been spectacle-ized to hell and gone, but imagine the impact of Tommy/Who's Next/Quadrophenia on a confused repressed teen like me back in the early 70s, when these albums were brand-new and fresh and raw.
