So far this year has felt a bit like a nightmare! It feels like I awoke in the future. As if overnight Drew Barrymore started doing Menopause ads, Perry Farrell turned 65, The Breakfast Club turned 40, Anna Nicole’s baby turned 18, Kurt & Courtney’s baby Frances married Tony Hawk’s son and Mr. Weir from Freaks & Geeks died
I also saw Ian Ziering (Steve from #90210) turned 60 today! 60?! 🤯 And yesterday I read Shannen Doherty is “letting go of her possessions as she prepares for death” (stage 4 cancer), and of course we lost Luke Perry a few years ago. How is this happening?! Aren’t we all still in our 20s/30s? 🫠
Good Christ! They weren’t kidding when they said time goes by fast the older you get! 😳
Thank you so much for everyone who took part in this. I tried to get them all to fit. It may not be the most serious song but the video sure turned out even more dramatic than I had anticipated...

@tradedsymmetry was interested in hearing my thoughts on different qualities of music (thank you!!) so on these things I brought up in the tags, plz excuse the thought dump:
Melody
I can’t explain why melody is so important to me, I think this is a very personal thing. Maybe because my mum only had two albums, a Michael Jackson album and an ABBA compilation album. I went for the ABBA album, but idk if it was innate because from the beginning my favourite song was Chiquitita, which is probably one of their richest in melody. I like that kind of “soaring” melody - it feels like it just lifts your whole spirit with it. My fave Perfume Genius is full of it and he knows how to orchestrate it to maximise those.
All my favourite artists write great melodies.. Beirut - Zach Condon has talked a lot about how melody coming first for him. You can’t understand him half the time. Cocteau Twins! You can’t understand them all the time. Sigur Ros! Even Fall Out Boy as my first favourite band - the melodies on FUCT and IOH are gorgeous and I don’t think they would have been my favourite band otherwise. MCR similarly. Death Cab’s Plans is so simple but so moving and I think it was mainly the melody (and the lyrics).
Rhythm is entwined with melody but I’m not as aware of it unless I hate it (I hate a constant crotchet/half note melody, it’s like banging your head against a wall. Oddly, although my partner is a drummer, he seems not to be bothered by this at all). There are a few notable instances though. I love when everything just stops. And there’s something incredibly satisfying about triplets. That opening rhythm from Be My Baby by The Ronettes I think is one of the most striking and eternally referenced rhythms. And speaking of the Ronettes, I wish harmonies were more at the forefront these days. I have to mention the Beach Boys if I’m talking about melodies and harmonies don’t I?
Anyway melody is just absolutely indispensable to me. Many people have recommended to me Beach Fossils for the vibe and the vibe is solid but the melodies are bland to me (soz). If I don’t like the melody I simply don’t fill connected to the song.
Tonality and chord progressions
Now here I really wish I knew more about chords but I only have the knowledge of a music school dropout. There are some chord progressions that are SO beautiful, and I wish I could identify them. I will happily eat up that 1-4-5-1. But a beautiful chord progression can really make a moment. The Libertines/Peter Doherty’s bands have gorgeous traditional chord progressions...I feel like there’s something bluesy about them that makes them so but I’m not sure. Mitski REALLY opened my mind with her unusual - I don’t know if these are chord progressions or just dissonances - on Geyser and A Pearl. It’s so powerful.
I’ve always leaned towards the minor keys. I find something kind of sickly about the major keys and a complete lack of dissonance. I hate Mozart. I find it childish. Too much dissonance is intimidating and alienating, and requires work. I (affectionately) hate Bartok. Debussy is that beautiful middle ground for me. So for contemporary artists I name Owen Pallett and Bjork. I’m on my 5th listen of Fossora and I feel as though my ears are finally accepting it.
In addition to dissonance, there is plain singing and playing off key. PAVEMENT - how do they do it and sound so good?
Going back to melody - I want to mention Dirty Projectors here because they have some of the weirdest and most dissonant melodies and harmonies I have ever heard, in addition to being incredibly sparsely textured. I am constantly in awe of how it works together.
Vibe - timbre, texture
These three things really give an artist their unique sound. I think for me that the vibe of a song is a very transporting thing. There are artists I listen to with the intention of being taken somewhere, or some time - Hawk and A Hacksaw, Beach House, The Cure, New Order, Wavves.
I remember being completely taken by Not Sure by Hatchie feeling like I was in a Lizzie McGuire movie, in a more compelling way than any of the actual songs in Lizzie McGuire movies - I think this is a notable song because those other aspects like melody and rhythm aren’t so strong on this song but the vibe is SO strong (and I am SO disappointed by the rest of that album). But I will happily listen to a song that doesn’t have a strong vibe.
Vocals
This is mostly timbre but I’ve also been thinking about this lately since someone posted about it - I appreciate when artists aren’t afraid to not sound pretty. Screaming, crying, etc. makes me scream, cry, etc. I refer to my fever dream obsession with Pulp.
Honorable mention - Conor Oberst/Bright eyes. Dashboard Confessional. Actually, yeah a lot of emo bands hahaa
I feel like most bands will Go For It live though.
Production
On thinking more about this, I think production may be one of those aspects you don’t appreciate unless it’s really really bad (unless you make music yourself). When it’s so terrible you can’t hear any of the other qualities of the song properly or it’s so clean and squeaky it’s cloying. Absolutely absolutely hate when a heavy band has clean production. Why does your distortion sound manufactured. wtf
Lyrics
Now I appreciate lyrics but it’s completely dispensable to me. I’ve noticed this lately - there are some lyrics I hold so highly eg, Paterson & Leo by Pinegrove - but when I go to look at them, I’m surprised at how simple and un-evocative they are on the page. I still think these are great lyrics - but they need the melody to bring them to life. Another one of my favourite songs goes here - Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks.
would love to hear your thoughts too.
anyway this just makes me so excited to listen to new music!!!!
Today was day filled with GPS challenges resulting in lots of laughs and chalking them all up to being part of the experience! First of all, after being on the road for 10 days you end up with a great need for getting your clothes laundered. That being the case with us, we left for Ballina this morning in search for a laundry mat. Guess what, no laundry mats in Ballina a town of 10,000+. Well maybe one, if you call three washing machines and dryers stacked on one another outdoors at a Circle K convenient store!
We ended up finding a dry cleaners that would also do laundry. They couldn’t have been more helpful and turned around all of our clothes in a few hours. I tried to tip the owner but she insisted that it was her pleasure to help us out! We’re locked and loaded for another week and my lovely spouse will now stop calling me Pig Pen!:-)
We walked around Ballina’s quaint downtown area, grabbed a latte, and bought a few essentials at one of their many very small drugstores. No CVS or Walgreens here. It’s one of the things I like most about traveling throughout the countryside of Ireland. It feels very much like a step back in time with all the locally owned businesses located on narrow main streets. They actually have shoe stores, dress shops and drug stores that all carry the names of local proprietors. Ballina has a very vibrant downtown. We decided we really like this place!
Making our way back to Mount Falcon we arrived to the first really hard rain of our trip. It lasted only a short while and after that it was overcast with a little short shower from time to time for the rest of the day.
I think most of you would find Mount Falcon a very unique place. Today you could go on a Hawk Walk where a hawk rests on your gloved hand and you join in an interactive experience where the hawk flys thru the trees of the forest showing different flying and hunting techniques.
There is clay pigeon shooting, salmon fishing and several other falcon experiences in addition to the Hawk Walk. Before we leave, we’re trying to schedule a Hawk Walk and The Birds of Prey Experience. It’s proving to be difficult to fit these in with our golf tee times! I’m sure you feel sorry for us:-)
Tonight we went to The Poacher Restaurant, a can’t miss eatery if you’re staying a few days in Ballina. The food, ambiance and service were all top notch. Best meal we have had in Ireland so far! We also are planning on going to Doherty’s Pub tomorrow based upon my friend Tom Coyne’s recommendation. Tom said a couple of free Guinness’s will be awaiting us when stop by after our round at Enniscrone.
I’m concluding this post, as I consume a couple of shots of Red Breast Whiskey. This whiskey was a recommendation of my Sagamore golfing buddy Dale Tokarski. Thanks Dale, it’s a smooth as you reported! Tomorrow is golf at Enniscrone Golf Club. Will report back on how we faired playing another of Irelands’s top links golf courses. Life is tough!! gb
