It's been too incredibly hot to do much of anything. Sunday, the air-conditioning at the station was conked but it was still cooler than it was outside. Without an air-conditioned office job, I'm finding it harder to blog, not easier...I can't afford A/C and I can't think clearly when it's 100 degrees in my house. I can't do much of anything but take showers and drink water...I can't remember what I was thinking during Sunday's show, so I'll add irrelevant and somewhat prurient comments to my playlist this week instead...as if it matters.
Tangerine Dream- Rising Haul In Silence
Remember 'beanbag' chairs? They were nothing more than giant vinyl sacks loosely stuffed with tiny Styrofoam pellets and for years you could find them in the TV rooms of most American homes...well, have you ever tried to fuck on one?
Bounceless.
"Push!"
"I am!"
By this time both parties would be wallowing in a shallow puddle of plastic seat sweat...time to hit the shower,it's too hot for this. Oh man, it's so hot the cat is sleeping in the tub...hey, my building has a laundry room in the basement- it's at least ten degrees cooler down there.
What?
Occupied? Fuck.
Brian Eno- Mother Whale Eyeless
One of the worst things about being 40, single and trying to date amongst one's peer group is that no matter what you do , you are very likely to be someone's "rebound."
Quiet Sun- RongWrong
One thing that sucks about being a "rebound" is that you get to hear all the still-fresh stories about what the person before you did.
Adrian Belew- 1967
As you hear these tales, you can't help but notice how one-sided they are. If the guy was that bad, why did you stay with him so long?
Steve Hillage- Not Fade Away
Wow.OK. You just listed all the things you liked about your ex. He sounds a lot like me. Too much so, in fact. Are you sure this isn't a "rebound?" More importantly, are you sure we didn't already date and break up many, many years ago? Deja something or other...
Talking Heads- Drugs
Question for the ladies: If your lover offers you Ambien during foreplay, what sort of message is she sending?
Danielle Dax- Tomorrow Never Knows
Jesus...where the fuck am I? Blame it on the pills and the heat.
Golden Palominos- Wings
This CD trumps Ambien and beanbags.
Stranglers - Men in Black
Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Or not.
Loreena McKinnett- Gates of Istanbul
Oooo...mm-p-thump....the 'thump' is the beat with the accent.
(It's all complicated like math)
Once you get the groove, there's only six minutes left. Be optimistic and hit 'repeat', wouldja?
Marianne Faithfull- Witch's Song
Oh Godzilla...I forgot where I was. That's some serious magic. It deserves a great pagan tribute.
Patti Smith- Space Monkey
No...no way. I hate cocaine. I knew I recognized you from somewhere. Damn.
I have a great idea- why don't you get really wired and start accusing me of all the crazy shit you said your husband used to do? The more fucked-up you get, the more plausible the stories become. Really.
Not that I notice.
Pretty Things- Cold Stone
"So, are you going to write about me on your blog?"
"Yes. And I am going to play songs on the radio for you too."
"That's sweet."
"Ha."
Clannad- Banba Oir
Gong- Tried So Hard
Number two and not so sure that I feel like competing anymore.
Kinks - Yes Sir, No Sir
I hope I'm too old to get drafted.
Damien Dempsey- Colony
Happy 400th, Jamestown!
The Institutional Radio Choir- Live Where You Can
Except here.
10 CC- Speed Kills
What is it about Scorpios and white powder drugs? Sometimes I think the Scorpio constellation should be nothing more than a parallel series of straight lines between stars.
Fiona Joyce- The Juggler
Was I being optimistic by considering myself as number two? Just how many balls are in your hands at any given time?
Jefferson Airplane- In Time
When things get rough, I like to console myself by thinking : "This will make excellent fodder for fiction someday..." and it will. But it'll have to wait.
Eleanor Shanley- Road to Glory
Maybe it's not all good or always fair, but life is the only thing worth living for.
What song is that from?

you not only can't fuck in a bean bag chair..it's damn near impossible to get out of one while stoned or drunk...you end up trying to do a flip onto your hands and knees so you can crawl to the wall and pull yourself up..and since i am a scorpio and an ex speed freak all i can tell you is we like fast...going fast..zoom zoom....speedy gonzales..zip...brain a racing..heart a racing..life a wasting...fun while it lasted..
ps..its hotter then a 2 peckered goat here..110 heat index..but promise of rain...
Ew, and they are usually made out of vinyl, too. Yigh.
Just stopping in to say hello and thank you. hope to be back in the swing of things soon. At least school starts the 23rd.
:(
I'd say that an Ambien offer is not a good sign.
Gong- Tried So Hard
Number two and not so sure that I feel like competing anymore.
=================================
I hear ya loud & clear!

Can you drive to Fayetteville, NC? I have a window A/C unit you can borrow. Do like I used to do. Stick it in the bedroom window, close the door and NEVER LEAVE THAT ROOM!
dude, is this a recent story? what have you been up to!!?!
oh i loathe the heat... i am SO not looking forward to summer- all damien and i do is argue over who finished the ice water and who's hogging the fan!
that reminds me, i killed all my handheld fans last summer- best i get a couple more before i need them!
maybe a little chunk of ice-9 would cool things off in your neighborhood, or maybe the whole planet.
i'm listening to "blue note plays sinatra." a collection of jazz artists doing his old standards.
it's cool music.
JS- I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has issues with beanbag chairs...frickin' 100 gabillion degrees here. Too hot for vinyl-unless it's an LP!
CS- You too? I like "yigh."
F- Been missing you.
W- I think you are right. Thanks for listening.
CD- I read the recent saga...I grok. There is nothing I can say
except it sucks, good luck and get every dime you can...thanks very much for the generous AC offer- I have AC, but it's $200 a month or so to run it- I was able to secure financing through the bank of Grandma, so I'm cool, so to speak.
Angel- Some new, some ancient, some a mix...History repeats itself if you let it etc...
I'm OK though, just can't get real detailed here is all.
Rube- Yeah, then we'd NEED global warming just to thaw out all the newly 'educated' water...I'd forgot all about that stuff. Cool reminder, so to speak.
