  1. Thomas Edison National Historical Park

    A handsome young man, Bryan Ferry vibes!

    Orpheus, a poet and musician in mythology (makes me think of the song “Orpheus” by David Sylvian)

    Spending part of gorgeous yesterday at Thomas Edison National Historical Park was magical. We’ve been there many times, but you can’t get enough of Thomas Edison. I love the statue of Orpheus holding a record. And the bed Thomas Edison slept in because he spent so many hours at work in his lab. Deaf and self-taught through books and tinkering he had over 1000 patents!

    A New Jersey legend of sound and vision.

    And I must say, he was handsome as a younger man too — Bryan Ferry vibes! I asked one of the tour guides if Edison still had family that is alive. He does, but they are very low-key about who they are. They did visit the park and one of the kids shouted out, “Tell them who we are!” So cute that they were proud!

    I have other cool stories about happenings at the park throughout the years. It’s a very special place in my heart.

    I was honored to report on the soft opening of the Black Maria replica back in the summer of 2024.

    My husband is a lifetime member of the historical park, so we can go free whenever we want. But they do have times when the park is free to visit. It’s definitely worth it. Everyone who works there is kind and helpful to answer all your questions. There’s plenty of fascinating movie footage about Edison you can view at a theater inside (which is well air conditioned!), clean restrooms, and three floors filled with items to explore. Of course I favor the music room.

    The actual bed (not a replica) Thomas Edison slept on in his lab, after working 70 hours or so.

    The historical figure I’d love to have dinner with!

  19. ORPHEUS
    Ascending
    1968 Canada pressing

    Having spent many many MANY desperate hours there in the past, it’s hard for me to imagine anything good EVER coming out of Worcester, Massachusetts.
    But here we are.

    Orpheus was part of something called “The Bosstown Sound”; which was kind of a catch-all phrase to help market #psychedelic rock and pop music from my hometown of Boston in the late #1960s .
    Think of it as the “grunge” or “alternative” marketing ploy of its day.

    Musically speaking, the best thing about Ascending are the lush, velvety orchestral arrangements. They add a lovely bit of whimsy and sophistication to what are already well-written sunshine pop / psych tunes.

    Pretty good record, and they certainly had their moment in the sun; making four records and touring with Cream, Janis Joplin and The Who.

  21. ✨Orpheus✨

    This #MosaicMonday we celebrate Orpheus, whose musical gifts were such that he was capable of attracting all manner of animals to his side. In this mosaic panel, found near Edessa and dated to 194 CE, Orpheus plays his lyre and predator and prey alike are soothed by his song.

  23. Hm, one of the places that comes to my mind first which fits that description are #torrent trackers actually. With all these strict rules on most of them, you will rarely find some trashy #AImusic there, same as you won't find any poor-quality #YouTube rips, which destroy your ears' ability to tell low-bitrate files from lossless ones. For me these places are really a blessing and I wish I could get my friends to use them, but I get that it's pretty niche.

  25. Desire

    Orpheus releases his 17th album on January 5, 1976. It's almost a soundtrack of his famous Rolling Thunder Review with many of the performers taking part in that also helping out on Desire." The album is the follow-up and perfect bookend for Blood On The Tracks released in '75 ... my two favorite Dylan releases. Desire is #174 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time."

    Orpheus plays Carnegie Hall in New York City. He played a solo set and then introduced his new backup band – Rick Danko on bass; Robbie Robertson on guitar; Garth Hudson on the organ; Richard Manuel on piano and Levon Helm on drums. From then they would be known simply as – The Band.

    ✧ Orphic Hymns ✧

    The Orphic Hymns are a collection of 87 hymns in ancient Greek, addressed to various deities. Attributed in antiquity to the mythical poet Orpheus, they were composed in Asia Minor (in modern-day Turkey), most likely around the 2nd or 3rd centuries AD, and seem to have belonged to a cult community which used them in ritual. The collection is p...
