Cab In A Solo by Scotty McCreery

For those reasons I might be listening to 94.1 KFKF, like its presence in my presets between 102.5 Jack FM and 101 the Fox – Kansas City’s Classic Rock Station, I have only first heard “Cab In A Solo” by Scotty McCreery today. Presently, my life is a little trying, the team voted to work two hours longer for three days in the middle of week making challenging timings for a few of my appointments, and I slept a little longer than I thought I would Sunday. Once again choosing an image of Princess Luna, I have neglected Reverse 1999 yet to watch either One Piece or Spy X Family this week. Meanwhile, a call with my sixth-grade teacher was good for both.

Sing ‘Blue Monday’ for Me

Rearranging furniture, I have been watching copious amounts of YouTube, “Wet Dream – Kip Addotta,” of Dr. Demento fame, “Blue Monday (2016 Remaster),” recognizable from Wonder Woman 1984 and Top Gear, and “Spring Anime 2020 in a Nutshell”

watching with a bottle of mead, watching the bottle of mead, consuming the bottle of mead or is a bottle of mead in the audience with you?

I’m placing a chest of drawers underneath my secondary monitor, a move that blocked an electrical outlet, so I connected the power cable from the power strip to another electrical outlet underneath the desk, which was a fun spectacle, pop pop! 🙂

Ides of March (once more with feelin’)

“Bad Medicine,” a song heard on my way home last night from Laser Rangers, brought “bad Venison is what I need,” and “Ides of March, 2012” to my mind:

“Behold, (Psalms 133:1)
how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!”
Arknights, Skadi, young girl / 「touch the fish」 – pixiv

“There are no bread, sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, we are putting toilet paper a little at a time, canned soup is low. People come up to the counter expecting the same service while we are trying to keep up with the new sanitation standards.

The salad bar is no safer than any other part of our store as people pretty much touch every product on the shelf. I hope the worst of this is over but when the virus spreads to the hundreds locally I’m sure even the people who didn’t care before will be trying to load up.

I wish you all luck, please don’t hoard or stock up with a lifetime supply of tp rolls saying I just needed this anyway.”

You working today?

I was up ‘til 2:30 to share a funny image to a friend who was feeling down and I finally heard “Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (which was not covered by the Beat Crusaders).”

Follow Them to the Edge of the Desert

“Canadian rock icon Neil Peart, drummer and primary lyricist for Rush, dead at 67”

‘Every drummer has “their guy” – the first drummer that inspired them to pick up the sticks, or the drummer that they’ve taken the most inspiration from (i.e. ripped off) over their career.
I can’t begin to imagine how many drummers say that Neil Peart was “their guy.”
It must be millions worldwide… from Taylor Hawkins all the way down to the weekend warriors in their basements wearing headphones, haplessly playing along to Rush records.
But the thing about Neil, to me, was always that I never had a clue as to who “his guy” was.
Neil Peart didn’t play like anyone else. Ever.
His drumming stood on its own from the jump.
I’ve said many times over the years, “I’m a drummer, so I don’t exactly know what that makes Neil Peart, because we sure as hell don’t play the same instrument.”
He was such a singular drummer – both for the mind-boggling parts he wrote but also for his incredibly precise execution.
I only saw Rush live once.
I never felt like I needed to again.
I saw all I ever needed in that one show, and especially in that one drum solo.
I walked out of the Omni in Atlanta that night feeling like I’d just seen God himself sitting at a drum kit.
I’ve never been a card-carrying Rush fan.
I respected and admired them, of course, but I was more of a rock n roll guy and Rush was, well, they were just Rush.
Over the years, I’ve had a million Bonzo vs. Neil vs. Ginger vs. Ringo vs. Stewart, etc arguments with other drummers.
There’s no right answer. Whichever drummer moves you the most is the best.
So…Rush was never “my band” and Neil was never “my guy.”
But hearing this news – I am left with a sharp sadness and a feeling of great loss.
A massive, unquantifiable force has left us all.
It’s an incredible shock.
My first few texts were all to drummers and everyone came back with the same answer: “I can’t believe it.”
Neil Peart might be dead, but he ain’t gone, of course.
Not at all.
He’ll always be with us, running circles around that kit like no one else before or since.
We’ll play Rush on the show tonight. And we’ll play Rush on the show every night. Rush is so woven into the tapestry of Classic Rock – there’s never a night without them.
And I’ll sit in the studio listening to Neil Peart do things on the kit that always have and always will make me laugh – his audacity truly knew no bounds.
Well done, Neil.
Very well done, indeed.
–SG’

“But to all who did receive him,
who believed in his name, (John 1:12-13)
he gave the right to become children of God, who were born,
not of blood nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Metalocalypse – Underwater Friends by Okha

“Neil Peart changed drumming when he came along. He raised the bar significantly. There were great jazz drummers and great rock drummers before. But nothing like him. Like me, Keith Moon was a big influence on him, but he came up with a unique adventurous style that was more precise and perfect than almost anyone, earning him the nickname ‘The Professor.’ Non-musicians usually don’t even understand what Rush is doing. Those of us trained in music & with years of drumming experience could enthusiastically replicate some of his playings, but not all of it. Several things Neil did were always beyond my grasp. I’m honored to have had the chance to see them 4 times; on their first 2112 tour (I had to save up for roto-toms immediately after that!) and the final time was on their next to the last tour. One of every serious rock drummer’s highest inspirations. He didn’t even tell everyone he had gotten brain cancer. So sadly & in shock, I say God bless his soul and thank you for your decades of excellence, & for all your amazing lyrics as well, Professor.”

Corporate and site-wide management told us different things about our time entry last week, so some of our paychecks could have 2 to 6 fewer days on them; this day at work has been emotionally draining and I am going home for the night … need to double-check the numbers, which might be correct, and I might have let my emotions “Carry Me Away,” apparently a song because speech-to-text has capitalized those words.

Twenty-twenty 24 Hours to Go (Memetic poly-Alloy)

While this post will not be “Humor vampirism at its finest,” a meme-generating site was likely used to add text to the following image, humourous wherein the repeated word, its cadence, and the year 2020 is twenty-four hours away:

“Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothin’ to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated”

“You got it, dude… Love the Joey Ramone,”
said Travis, confirming plans to meet at Denny’s.

An offer I cannae refuse 041

Fortunately, I found a coupon in the lounge at work and left the planning up to Bennigan,

“I have to finish some school stuff Sunday night so how about we meet up around 1ish at 54^th Street Grill & Bar, if you still want to go, and then maybe go to a movie or hang out for a few hours, if want to, and you can go hang out with Josh after that.”

“Beloved, (1 Peter 2:11)
I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh,
which wage war against your soul.”

Thanks, but you’re forgetting “at the time the old boy was barely breathing,” so I think more appropriately, “Inspire works inside your body with your natural breathing process to treat obstructive sleep apnea. While you sleep, Inspire delivers mild stimulation to key airway muscles, allowing the airway to remain open. Inspire system is controlled by a small handheld sleep remote.”

Sorry, I probably heard that ad before or after the song on the radio.
