I’m not sure that I understand the thread. However, liked for the term “fundiegelical”:

I’m a pure engineer and autistic who was raised by those people. It was odd. That type always has books and magazines lying about which talk about how Blacks should have been grateful for slavery. They believe as well that Jesus Christ is coming any day now to put all of the non-Whites in their place.

That seems odd as #Christ, if he existed, was swarthy.

The short version is, it didn’t take. The longer version is colorful, but never mind that.

BonsaiKitten, who Gentoo readers will know, told me in 2012 that indoctrination “just slides off of the folds of your brain”. Patrick, if you see this, thank you for still being present.

My preference in music [if that is where “fundiegelical” enters into it] is #TMBG. It’s common for my type.

I like oddities in general. A decade ago, Victor, a former associate, played a Death Metal version of “Silent Night” for me. That track was a bit much.

But these are favorites:

And finally, as I wrote last week: There's always a They Might Be Giants song.

So, let's go all TMBG songs.

Hi Mastodon,

I’d like to reintroduce myself and introduce my album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy”.

I write songs and over the past 6 years roughly, I’ve collected 10 from about 100 to be recorded, mixed and mastered. As of today, those 10 songs are available to listen to at bandcamp as the album “A Cufflink-Wearing Guy” (https://alastairleonard.bandcamp.com/album/a-cufflink-wearing-guy)

There are songs about fleeting marketplace romances (Sunflowers), and going in search of your life’s purpose (Desert Rose). There are other songs about taking the easy road and waking up late (Mid-Morning Guy) and the housing crisis in Australia (Yoshino Removals). There are even more songs — about bad haircuts (West Coast Haircut) and the disappearance of the bees (Honey Bee). The title track follows a pair of cufflinks given to me as a young man and their trajectory through the following decades. All the lyrics are up there so you can read along while listening if that’s your preference.

The music is roughly what I’d call indie-pop including jangly guitars numbers and piano ballads but there are forays into country twang, latin percussion, and doof. Some of my influences include #jeffreylewis #bjork #davidberman #cassandrajenkins #dangelo #leonardcohen #hopesandovalandthewarminventions #lucindawilliams #jenslekman #jonathanrichman #ninasimone #arethafranklin #pixies #thecure #thefieldmice #thesundays #thelemonheads #themagneticfields #tmbg #thegobetweens #motown

Attention is a commodity these days and I don’t expect too many people will hear the record; but if you do feel inclined to listen and can find a moment, I hope you find something joyful in these songs. Creating A Cufflink-Wearing Guy has been a labour of love. Mostly love, a little labour. Until next time, keep looking on the bright side. Thanks for reading. AL

Back home, finally! They Might Be Giants put on an an excellent show tonight in Indy, glad I was able to go. Their first set featured mostly songs from Lincoln, and the second set was a mix of old and more recent stuff.

2 hour drive each way to and from the venue, though. Still worth it since I've never seen them live before and may never get to again.

Now to spend the rest of the weekend recuperating.
