I kind of fell out of love with Tori Amos a while back ... but this recent performance reminded me why I once loved her ...

When you stop at the top of a ferris wheel 🎵

Ground - a song by Chicago singer songwriter Diane Izzo came up on my random play and I began to wonder what had become of her. To my surprise I discovered she had passed away 15 years ago + her debut album 'One' was her only album! What a tragedy. It always makes me sad when talent remains forever undiscovered

Man From Mars

When record producer Larry Klein asked former wife Joni Mitchell to write a song for the 1995 film Grace of my Heart she refused. The movie, based on the a songwriter + aspiring singer in the mid 60s (think Carole King) required an innocence + vulnerability that Mitchell no longer felt she could offer.

Enter Nietzsche, Joni's cat, also known as Man From Mars ("he's a little lavender lion who looks like an alien + walks on his hind legs"). Nietzsche had peed all over a couple of chairs + so Joni said to him, “if you're going to act like an animal - you're going to live like an animal.”, grabbing him + kicking him outside. Well, he disappeared for 18 days. Night after night, Mitchell called him from her yard + waited. The song's sounds mimic what she heard: the rustling of leaves, bird songs, the drone from a distant freeway. , "It took me 17 days to write this song, + the night I finished it, my amazing little mancat appeared in a neighbor's yard "

Anyone remember Annie Haslam and Renaissance? They were a part of my teen years listening to Album Oriented Radio (AOR) ... I would get excited when one of their songs would come on - which was rare because they tended to be 8 minute long art-rock numbers. I listen to her now and think how she paved the way for Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks, even Heart - but her music is largely forgotten. And I just discovered that she is still out there singing and making music ... at 77! #rememberlegends #nowplaying #listenup #music #musicworld #mixtape #randomplay #nowhearthis #simsongs #anniehaslam #renaissance #carpetofthesun #70smusic

Special for Election Day in America ... 'Disinformation' by Buffy Sainte:Marie

"Coincidence and likely stories
They dog your trail like a pack of lies
They whine at night when the lights are out
You toss and turn
You pitch and roll
Disinformation, you spin it like a silkworm"

🕯️ RIP Barbara Dane 🕯️

Legendary Blues, Jazz, Folk Singer and Political Activist. She began her career in 1957. Ebony Magazine said of her in 1959 "startlingly blonde, especially when that powerful dusky alto voice begins to moan of trouble, two-timing men and freedom"

She was 97 ...

Bonny Light Horseman

I woke up this morning with this song running through my head ...

https://youtu.be/s3UlBffDlmk?si=_s3xEtPOqmaLPdB4

I've been obsessed with the music of this super group American folk band consisting of Anaïs Mitchell (Hadestown), Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats, The Shins), and Josh Kaufman (The National, Hiss Golden Messenger, Josh Ritter) since I stumbled across their music recently. They released their debut grammy nominated album in January 2020. This song Old Dutch, is from their third album Keep Me On Your Mind / See You Free released in June of 2024.
