Sock Knitting and Reading
It doesn’t feel like I did a lot this week, but I did find some reading time. I also managed to fit in a little sock knitting. Now if only I didn’t feel so exhausted!

Repetitive Sunday Post is Repetitive
This week’s Sunday Post feels a little sparse to me. Or maybe repetitive. I’m just surprised it’s Sunday again! I thought we just had one last week…
Change a few book titles, why don’t you?
The problem with titles is that they’re usually calculated to be the best representation of the story. So I’ve been wandering around the house for the past week, looking at shelves, wondering how I’d title things differently.
Baroque goes Funk
And this is what skulking around on Youtube netted me today. Amazingly enough, this is the kind of thing that goes through my mind often. It’s the same kind of musical sense of humour that has one track down a copy of “Bach ‘n’ Roll” because who doesn’t want to play Nights in White Satin […]
Just Dance (kinda)
I’m a sucker for a good cover. It may be a hipster thing to do (that’s the trendy thing, right? Call it “hipster” if it’s non-mainstream? Whatever), but I’ve been enjoying Postmodern Jukebox for awhile…This is just one of the many offerings on their Youtube Channel….you should take a look! I’m the first to admit […]
Harmony
There are some things that you’d think I would burst if I didn’t mention. And then I go and do something like sit on the news for a month or more. I guess that’s just the way I roll….I tend to try and downplay all the pretty little grace notes that pepper my life. That […]
Game of Thrones goes Cosplay
I know, I know…lots of videos lately. I’m working on getting some actual content, really – I am! At any rate, Game of Thrones has started its new season (no, I haven’t seen it yet), so I figured I’d share this little gem that I found on (you guessed it) YouTube 🙂
History of Rock in 100 Riffs
Games you can play while you watch this: 1. Name the era / realize when the era changes 2. Name that tuning (also: count the groping for the slide, shifting of feet for pedals) 3. How many of those songs did you you (or someone you know) spend hours learning on a fake, plastic guitar […]
You can thank Reddit
I found this little gem on Reddit. The artist’s name is Kawehi and while she doesn’t exactly have Cobain’s growls and distortion, she has her own flair. I’ll totally overlook the use of the auto-tune-like filter she’s using on her voice as it lends extra atmosphere. TCS – Robot Heart: Heart-Shaped Box – Nirvana (covered […]
Danse Macabre
Ye Olde Internal Wurlitzer has started playing Danse Macabre, composed by Camille Saint-Saens, arranged by Liszt/Horowitz. This one gets in your head and whirls around at a breakneck pace until you’re just on the edge of dizzy. And then good luck getting it out of your head for the rest of the day. You’re welcome.
