October 2010s Music Deep Dive!

A mock up poster for the only possible music festival line-up I would be willing to risk my life attending. Tony Allen’s passing has caused the entire Octoberfest to be cancelled indefinitely, but all proceeds from ticks will be given back to the community.

Hope all of you special nobodies and overblown somebodies reading this right now are having a smashing start your first o November. All last month I had taken it upon myself to listen to as many albums and fragments of albums released sometime during the month of October spanning the entire 10’s decade, 2010 through 2019. This is all probably a result of drinking too much dead water, Quarantine brain, undiagnosed Autism, magical thinking and the death of boredom. I have created a Spotify playlist sporting 25 hours and 4 minutes worth of music with an arbitrary amount of albums getting multiple songs, but largely one song/album. This project did create a sense of madness because of the volume of music that gets cranked out. How can we expect anyone to properly criticize music when it is nearly impossible to keep up with it all? I largely culled these albums from Allmusic’s Editorial Choice section, but I did have to use Rateyourmusic to fill out the hip-hop and R&B gaps. In gathering up all of this music I am attempting to see if spooky music was relegated to the October season and any other possible trends. Even though October has been laid to rest her swelling calendar breast still contains a treasure trove of music worth discussing. Grab your broom, sharpen your heels and get the cobwebs out of your ears because we’re going on a Deep Dive!

//////

The 2010s Old Souls and Musical Auteurs

I consider any musician or band that endures more than a decade worthy of this veteran label. Music biz lifers seem found solace in the October release schedule. A trend that has carried onto the new decade with October 2020 offering revitalized releases by Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen reunited with the E Street Band. All three main members of Sonic Youth, Moore, Gordon and Renaldo are still harnessing that spooky Bad Moon Rising energy and carrying it over into their solo releases.

KIM GORDON’s NO RECORD HOME

The first truly proper solo album by Kim Gordon following up her pretty good noise rock releases under the Body/Head moniker with Bill Nace. No Record Home towers over Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo’s mostly okay solo releases because of how truly experimental and refreshingly modern sounding No Record Home is. This album sounds like it could easily have come out from a young Pacific Northwest Trip-Angle (RIP) label upstart. Instead, Gordon is defiantly aging gracefully and remains an all around important feminist voice in experimental rock music. No Record Home did not pop up on a lot of “Best of the Year” lists in 2019, nor did Gordon embark on any kind of touring for the release. I am hoping that more people will eventually discover this great album and realize that Gordon was truly the best, most truly experimental aspect of Sonic Youth. Her vocals on this album are the best she’s ever sounded because she built these songs and sounds with the intergral collaborator, producer Justin Raisen. A glimpse at Raisen’s Wikipedia page is a who’s who of great artists of the past decade: Yves Tumor, Charli XCX, and Sky Ferreira. The collaboration occurred at an AirBnB shared between Gordon and Raisen and birthed the first single of the project “Air BnB.” A song that completely sets the tone of the album and features one of those amazing music videos in the same line us Young Thug’s “Wyclef Jean. “

Björk - Biophilia

Can you name the last album the rolled out with its own app? Nine years have come and gone and I certainly can’t think of another album with such wholesome ambitions. Björk was getting passionate about ecological concerns in her native Icelandic home with Sigur Ros and using her sphere of influence to try to good. 2014 the app has found a permanent home in the MOMA, but outside of this curio status the album itself is still a worthwhile addition to the Björk canon. Biophilia finds Björk in musical scientist mode using sounds captured from a Tesla coil and making a whole musical universe onto herself. The rest of the 2010s found Björk going for bigger and more ambitious projects that continue to frustrate those who wish she would go back to her poppier roots. She remains one of those most consistent solo artists around and someone no one will be able to predict what she does next. The only thing is certain is that it will be visionary and will probably include a wildly ambitious rollout and a new piece of physical art like Biophilia’s $800 tuning forks.

NENEH CHERRY - BROKEN POLITICS

Featuring production duties for the second time from Four Tet (who also pops up in the October playlist with his 2013 album Beautiful Rewind). Broken Politics in Cherry’s words, “is about feeling broken, disappointed, and sad, but having perseverance. It’s a fight against the extinction of free thought and spirit.” The music video for single “Natural Skin Deep” was filmed in Beirut, a backdrop made even more painful given 2020’s Explosion. Cherry is an artist with deep spiritual and blood connections with artists central to jazz’s history. Broken Politics also features songs built around Ornette Coleman samples. This is all to say that Neneh Cherry is always going to be someone tapping into a creative cosmic vein that spans generations, and with that comes a hard wisdom. Two years later we’re still dealing with the same god damn guts and guns of history.

OTHER NOTABLES:

(Cat Power - The Wanderer; John Cale - Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood; Tony Allen - Film of Life ; Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Psychedelic Pill ;Bryan Ferry - Olympia; Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen ;Yoko Ono - Warzone; Vashti Bunyan - Heartleap; Elvis Costello & The Imposters - Look Now; The Chills - Silver Bullets; Weezer - Everything Will Be Alright In The End;Laurie Anderson - Heart of A Dog;Janet Jackson - Unbrekable;The Mercury Rev - Light In You; Rocketship - Thanks To You; Van Dyke Parks & Gaby Moreno - Spangled; Donald Fagen - Sunken Condos; Prefab Sprout - Crimson Red; Pere Ubu - 20 Years in a Montana Missile Silo; Negativland - True False )

TRILOGY OF BLACKSTARS

Three last albums released by three titans of 20th century songwriting. Two of them follow the trajectory of an older artist getting rejuvenated by a younger backing band. Lulu is beyond a meme at this point and is considered one of the most confounding flops since Metallic Music. Like Metallic Music, Lulu will get a reappraisal and find its audience. Mr. Blackstar himself Bowie considered Lulu one of his favorite releases. “Junior Dad” alone makes this album a worthy addition in Lou Reed’s discography. Scott Walker invited some similarly hairy and intense younger rock studs into his private castle and pulls off a far more natural combination. Soused fits like a velvet glove on a elegant corpse hand swirling thick slabs of guitar and demonic percussion. Scott Walker effortlessly orchestrates between elegance and moribundity whereas Lulu wallows and thrashes against the ugly riffage.

No riffs or oozing wall of sound are anywhere to be found on the sparse and pointedly elegiac You Want it Darker. Leonard Cohen never went full on sleazy I’m Your Man ever again but he didn’t become adult contemporary either. You Want It Darker finds Leonard and his son Adam Cohen. When Leonard passed away he was the only one to get a full David Bowie like museum tribute, Lou Reed only got a corner of a library. Cohen is far and away the most accessible mystical Jewish Buddhist monk with a penchant for fedoras and having a masked man with a leather belt beat him in the recording booth [citation needed]. You Want It Darker is the only one of these mortality laden kiss offs to win a Grammy. I do wonder if Cohen would have ever allowed a more adventurous production to touch his staid and timeless old fashioned sound. Tom Scharpling divides Leonard Cohen into his Pre-Fedora and Post-Fedora days. If you are being literal about that demarcation that still gives you a pretty vast body of music I just want sad bloated blurry black and white Leonard Cohen with a banana or the smiling cad on Songs of Love and Hate. Even the floppy fedora era has worthwhile albums and he sounds like if Serge Gainsbourgh was a muppet Gargoyle, he’s reliable. I will always beat myself for not buying that official Leonard Cohen raincoat at the Jewish Museum Leonard Cohen exhibit, but I hope someone has and they are finding comfort with Cohen’s music. A lot of his latter day period is comforting in a sardonic sexy mind bending nursing home sort of way.

I am glad that these men were ultimately spared from having to deal with Covid times and even someone as tasteless as Brian Wilson’s Ghost can acknowledge that it’s more important than ever to keep your elderly loved ones locked away in a well ventilated pod.

(INSERT ARTIST HERE) SEASON

For a few sticky sweet select few artists the month of October proved to be a suitable release launch pad for more than one album. The Mountain Goats and clipping. have just joined the October two-timer club this year. The reigning queen of October releases is Taylor Swift and Adrianne Lenker. In chronological order swift released Speak Now, Red and 1989 probably Swift’s biggest run in terms of critical and commercial success. None of these albums have a particularly big place in my heart, in fact speaking on behalf of Brian Wilson’s Ghost Ltd. I’m not the biggest fan of America’s Sweetheart, Sweet Tea Poet Laureate. All three of these albums all came out in the latter part of October and based on the Target brand synergy roll-out felt as inevitable as pumpkin spice. Haunted. Sad Beautiful Tragic. Out of the Woods. These are either song titles taken from these three albums are the names of the under utilized Romantic Halloween Horror Comedy genre. Lady Gaga might have been spooking it up on American Horror Story, but Swift gives a far more chilling performance in Tom Hooper’s midnight madness of Cats and I could envision Swift excelling really well as a horror film actor. Especially in a role like Scarlett Johansson’s Under the Skin.

You cannot get more polar opposite from Swift than Adrianne Lenker. Who released her first solo album abysskiss and the second Big Thief album of 2019 Two Hands. Lenker will have also gone on to make her third October release this year with her second solo album songs & instrumentals. Striking that such a ghostly autumnal band would have only released one album in October, but autumnal feeling albums are not beholden to release calendars. The song “Not” from the Big Thief album Two Hands is a watershed breakthrough moment for the band and put Lenker and her band on the map. In 2019 Big Thief became a band that could get booked onto a Goodmorning American performance slot and more or less made Big Thief one of the rare 2010s indie bands to become more or less a household name.

Other notable artists to have released more than one album on October 2010s:

Less notable artists to have multiple October releases: James Blunt Korn

Calvin Harris

Kings of Leon

Pentatonix

FORMER HARBINGERS OF HYPE

These are October releases from artists that once felt like whenever they put out an album a wider array of outlets and publications seemed to care more and would spill more digital ink over them. The big three artists that had the biggest drop off in attention and acclaim that stick out to me the most are Titus Andronicus, Justice and Why? All three artists debuted with strong starts back in the aughts, but according to critical reception more or less crashed and burned. Titus Andronicus’ Local Business was one of the last times Titus Andronicus would get positive marks from Pitchfork. Local Business a fun and shaggy follow-up to one of the most self-serious concept albums of the 2010s.

Justice’s Audio, Video, Disco similarly is a follow up to a highly acclaimed album that set the bar high enough to doom Justice into never living up to the hype. Justice’s 2007 s/t heralded them as the next Daft Punk, but unlike those soulful and thoughtful robots Justice mainly wanted to make big ridiculous unfashionable synth prog rock. Audio, Video, Disco is simply cheesy fun and even though we live in a world better off without parties and gatherings this album helps you feel like you are in high-def IMAX monster mash on the moon.

The leaves us with Why?’s Mump’s Etc. an album that already had the job of following up an already divisive follow up record Eskimo Snow. Why’s Alopecia is a really important 2008 indie blog rap album that helped thrust the online indie blogs into the hip-hop genre hybrid experimentalism. Why? would never make another universally beloved album again and with Mump’s Etc. ended up permanently in Pitchfork’s hate pit. In the original release review the Pitchfork writer essentially deems this album an act of “career suicide.” The whole review is essentially an assignation of Why?’s figurehead Yoni Wolf and taking him to task for all of his awkward lyrical blunders and the fact he is narcissistic enough to be a musician writing about his career in a meta fashion. Yet when I listen to Mump’s Etc. I am more or less enjoying Yoni Wolf’s personality and find the whole thing to be pretty charming. A perfectly serviceable 3.5/5 release that a media outlet like Pitchfork turns into a flexing opportunity to show how that they have the power to make or break a career.

A.C. Newman, an artist who appears on this playlist with his terrific 2012 Shut Down The Streets took to Twitter to scoff at the idea that a good Pitchfork review has done anything for his career. Shut Down The Streets currently remains the last solo album Newman has released under his name choosing to focus on his main gig with the New Pornographers. The Internet based hype machine is even more ADHD addled and twitchier by the day. The joy of doing this deep dive allowed me to revisit a lot of these artists and acts that I had fallen out of touch with. I had completely forgotten about King of Convenience’s Erlend Øye who released the album Legao in 2014. I rediscovered a good deal of bands like the Editors, The Dodos, Kisses, Black Milk, Crocodiles, Empire of the Sun, Juana Molina, Jagwar Ma, Here We Go Magic, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., YACHT, Peaking Lights, The Twilight Sad, Elf Power, Swet Shop Boys, Radio Dept, Allo’ Darlin, Foxes In Fiction, and HOMESHAKE are all bands not trying to change the world or challenge listeners with avant garde experimentation. Instead I feel like I maintaining relationships with old friends on the edge of obscurity.

A HISTORY OF CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER

A tradition stretching back as far as 2014 not October’s Idina Menzel’s Holiday Wishes, but Seth McFarland’s Holiday For Swing sweatily released on CD, digital, and vinyl on September 30, 2014. 2015 then brings us a Chris Tomlin and Ru Paul Christmas albums because every force of Neo-liberal good must be balanced with evangelical contemporary Christian music *shutters.* 2016 finds the Christmas in October era reaching a complete and utter nadir with R. Kelly’s final official LP 12 Nights of Christmas and A Pentatonix Christmas, but also buffered by Kacey Musgrave’s Christmas. 2017 only had time for Gwen Stefani’s You Make It Feel Like Christmas and no one else could evoke this feeling in October. On 2018, Michelle and Barack Obama’s combined one and only Christmas wish comes true, no not cancelling those drone strikes, but getting John Legend to join the October release jamboree; Eric Clapton claps open his guitar’s butt cheeks and hatefully squats out a half assed Xmas album defiantly opening the album with “White Christmas” [eyeroll emoji]; and finally 2018 found the Pentatonix announcing in October that Christmas Is Here. I apologize for all of that crude butt talk about the hateful racist Eric Clapton, but(t) I have festive gluteus Maximus on the mind, because in 2019 Norah Jones got her alternative country gal trio back together to remind us to shake our Christmas butts. Eat shit commercial shit, today’s Santa’s birthday! That’s the magic of the October release schedule!

The hallowed Christmas in October tradition continues on in 2020 with Dolly I-Beg-Thee-Pardon releasing A Holly Dolly Christmas right on time on October 2, 2020 (Carrie Underwood missed the memo and unwraps her unwanted My Gift in September 2020). Meghan Trainor, Goo Goo Dolls, and Tori Kelly released Christmas albums. Can you believe Seth MacFarlane comes up twice in this article, because his sleazy J. Michigan Frog croon is processed and grated like Parmesan cheese snow flakes all over a rendition of White Christmas. What a time to be alive!

WHERE DID THEY GO?

A Brief Case For Class Actress’s Rapproacher

Among my October music travels I encountered one artist that really impressed me with her proper LP debut Rapprocher. The trio fronted by Elizabeth Vanessa Harper is essentially peddling the kind of competent moody 80’s inspired synth pop that belongs on a lost Donnie Darko sequel. Harper’s vocals are striking and expressive and they are melded with constantly propulsive bed of shiny synths and glossy barely-there gated percussion. Outside of an 2015 EP called Movies featuring exciting production contributions from Italo-disco icon Giorgio Moroder there has been nothing else from Class Actress. Highly recommend you check them out especially if you want to find the sweet spot between Chromatics and Kylie Minogue.

THE OCTOBER 2010s MASTERPIECES

(Robyn - Honey, Big K.R.I.T. - 4eva is a Mighty Long Time ,Miguel - Kaleidoscope Dream, Crying - Beyond The Fleeting Gale , M83 Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming ,SRSQ - Unreality, Sufjan Stevens - age of adz, Joanna Newsom - divers, VV Brown Samson and Delilah, Kelela - tear me apart , Neon Indian - VEGA Intl., Fever Ray - Plunge , Antony and The Johnsons - Swanlights (goodbye album) , Caroline Polachek - Pang , Sky Ferreira - Night Time, My Time . Bat For Lashes Haunted Man, James Ferraro - Far Side Virtual , Grouper - Ruins , Kero Kero Bonito -Bonito Generation , DJ Rashad - Double Cup)

Maybe if I surround this VV Brown album with more well known artists she’ll finally get some more clicks? I should also mention that Joanna Newsom’s Divers is nowhere on my Spotify October Music playlist because Joanna Newsom thinks Spotify is bananas, and she hates bananas. I know I should also mention Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city and Tame Impala’s Lonerism. That’s the maddening thing about October music that just when you think you covered all your ground you find another hidden hump underneath the carpet. I feel remiss without mentioning striking debut and instant hidden gem Tinashe’s Aquarius, which did you know has a new album art on Spotify. Death Grip’s No Love Deep Web. T_T I didn’t even get around to making a big verbal mosaic to Thom Yorke’s witchy Suspiria soundtrack.Corpus Christi! I forgot to highlight The Orb album in the collage with my other veteran artists! As you can see this project nearly ruined me. I did not necessarily listen to all of these albums from front to back, but I did listen all of the songs on the playlist and chose them from the immense collection of October releases. I am pretty sure this is the kind of content for no one in particular but I really needed to get it out of my system. Let’s meet back up October 2030!!!!!

(Thank you to my beloved partner, best friend and Spotify provider Maddie Johnson XD)

Permitid

Permitid que los magos poderosos de vuestro propio carácter y semblante traigan los tres regalos de los mensajeros... presenten estos preciosos regalos hacia vuestro propio nacimiento Crístico.

Estos tres regalos están simbolizados con oro, incienso y mirra.

Durante esos tiempos más antiguos, esos artículos valiosos eran los regalos habituales para honrar a un rey o a una deidad en el mundo antiguo: el oro como metal precioso, el incienso como perfume o incienso, y la mirra como aceite de unción.

Yo os digo ... entended la metáfora de esta bien conocida historia del nacimiento del Niño Jesús en la consciencia de la raza.

Honrad a la vida divina que mora en vosotros ... y que está volviendo a nacer hacia una consciencia y experiencia, más tangibles.

Esto es un símbolo del nacimiento de la consciencia ... la aparición de la divinidad en cada hombre, mujer y niño.

Dadle el oro de vuestra atención y consciencia e intención de corazón, mente y cuerpo a ese nacimiento en vosotros del Niño del Christos.

Entregad el aroma del incienso ... vuestros más sublimes y altamente perfumados pensamientos, y sentimientos, y actitudes y atributos, como los perfumes de vuestra individualidad mortal, mientras celebráis la relación, el reconocimiento, la reverencia y la receptividad por la vida del Padre en vosotros.

Finalmente ... dadle el aceite de unción de mirra a esa Singularidad de Dios, el aceite y la esencia de vuestra dedicación para convertiros en su voluntad de expresión y el deseo de su Verdad objetiva ... y vuestra devoción a seguir obedientemente y vuestro incondicional amor por Dios y su naturaleza. y la identidad ... luego avanzad aún más en la unción del Christos en cada uno … el Dios de la Supremacía que avanza en vosotros y en todos los demás ... y en todos y en todo y en todos lados, deberéis comunicaros con Nosotros ... a través de la Intimidad de Oración Plena con el Poder Absoluto del Padre Viviente.

Alabad a Él ... Reconocedle en todo lo que hacéis para siempre y por siempre ... porque Él os ha entregado Su Vida y os ha regalado vuestra persona singular; una expresión personal de sí mismo nace una vez más cuando os graduáis en el servicio de la Ciudadanía Universal y el Cristo Cósmico.

Alabadle, Yo os digo a vosotros ... Reconocelo a Él ... Aceptadlo en vuestro corazón de corazones. Apreciadlo a Él ... Alinearos y permitidle expandir su Verdad Absoluta y Poder y Vida y Voluntad y Camino en todo lo que digáis y hagáis. En todo lo que elijáis convertiros.

Haced estos actos en Mi Nombre y Yo estoy de pie a vuestro lado, desarrollad vuestra consciencia de esta manera que honra a la Vida que I AM - YO SOY ... y así me encontraréis con vosotros en todo momento y en las oportunidades de cada momento de gloria.

Christ Michael Of Nebadon

Original

Allow the mighty magi of your own character and countenance to bring the three gifts of the messengers .. present these precious gifts into your own Christ birth.

These three gifts are symbolized by gold, frankincense and myrrh.

During those more ancient times those valuable items were the standard gifts to honor a king or deity in the ancient world: gold as a precious metal, frankincense as perfume or incense, and myrrh as anointing oil.

I sayeth unto you .. understand the metaphor of this well-known story of the birth of the Christ Child into the race consciousness.

Honor the God Life who dwells in you.. and is becoming birthed into more tangible consciousness and experience.

It is symbolic of the birth of consciousness .. the coming forth of divinity in every man, woman, and child.

Give the gold of your attention and awareness and intention of heart and mind and body to that birth in thee of the Child of the Christos.

Give the scent of frankincense .. thine loftier and more highly perfumed thoughts and feelings and attitudes and attributes as the perfumes of thine mortal selfhood as you celebrate the relationship and recognition and reverence and receptivity for the Father's Life in thee.

Finally .. give the anointing oil of myrrh to that God Selfhood .. the oil of your dedication to become his will in expression and the desire for his Objective Truth .. and your devotion to follow obediently and your unconditional love for God and his nature and identity .. then go even further in annointing that Christos in you .. God the Supremacy coming forward in you and in all others .. and in everyone and everything and everywhere shall you communion with Us .. by Prayerful Intimacy with the Living Father's Absoluteness.

Praise him .. Acknowledge him in everything that you do forever and ever .. for he hath given to thee his Life and gifted thee with thine uniqueness of personhood; a personal expression of himself becomes born once again as you graduate into Universal Citizenship and Cosmic Christ service.

Praise him I sayeth to thee .. Acknowledge him .. Accept him in your heart of hearts .. Appreciate him .. Align and Allow him to expand his Absolute Truth and Power and Life and Will and Way in all that you say and do. In all that you choose to become.

Do these acts in My Name and I stand with you, develop your consciousness in this way which honors the Life I AM .. and so shall you find Me with you at all times and in the opportunities of every moment's glory.

Christ Michael Of Nebadon

INTRO ASTRAL YOGA

Soy Juliana, y al escribir esta introducción, me cuestione como quería describirme a mi misma, que quería decir primero para enmarcar quien trato de ser como humano… Tal vez, mi nacionalidad primero, mi genero, mi edad… Decidí que el status con el que mas honestamente me identifico ahora, es mi vocación soy Astrologa (interpreto la ley hermética de que como es arriba en el cosmos es abajo en nuestro planeta), en mi país, la carrera que escogí, aun no existe, (aprendí mi saber con un tutor privado al que respeto profundamente) como profesión es poco común, poco conocida, por eso he trabajado como terapeuta alternativa e independiente desde hace 5 años, mi conocimiento combina el lenguaje de un astrónomo, la metodología de un psicólogo y con este nuevo proyecto quiero agregar la milenaria practica del yoga como herramienta para fusionar todo, pues creo fielmente que nuestro cuerpo físico es el principal móvil para experimentar nuestra vida, y moldear la visión que tenemos de nosotros, de los otros.

Este proyecto es el resultado de un proceso personal, de transformación y cambio que he emprendido, para que me entiendas mejor, voy a contarte. Soy Colombiana, tengo 24 años nací en Bogotá la capital y muy recientemente me mude a Medellín una ciudad relativamente cercana. En mi trabajo como terapeuta durante los últimos años, he tenido el obsequio y oportunidad de aprender de muchas historias de vida, personajes muy variados de diferentes edades, nacionalidades, géneros, credos y profesiones se han interesado en mi asesoría, y me brindaron la oportunidad de conocerme a mi misma, a través de ellos. Yo crecí explorando mi cuerpo como un medio mágico de relación con lo que me rodeaba, con la naturaleza, animales y las otras personas, sin discriminaciones, y con el yoga, la danza, la música y el arte como alimentos tan básicos como la comida… Mi mama es psicopedagoga experta en expresión corporal, y bailarina de profesión y vocación una artista romántica, que se enamoro de ser madre, fui muy afortunada por tener en mi historia una madre que tuviera el conocimiento, talento y educación para enseñarme a expresar lo que me hacia diferente y sentirme, especial por ello… Sin embargo al crecer comprendí que esa historia no es muy común, en especial me atrevo a decir, en mi continente, menos en mi país. De allí, mi crianza y mi experiencia profesional surge mi deseo de ofrecer un servicio que combine, una herramienta de conciencia la Astrología que en resumen y desde mi perspectiva profesional; Estudia la energía cósmica y sus posibles patrones de manifestación, nos ayuda a ver el macro en lo micro, analiza como esta energía puede influenciarnos a nivel personal y colectivo, para que entendamos que la vida no es lineal, estamos conectados como parte de un todo y así como en la naturaleza, lo que nos ocurre, forma parte de un proceso vital similar a la metamorfosis o incluso a la fotosíntesis, todo es cíclico y si logramos comprenderlo, esta herramienta de auto – análisis, más allá de ser una varita mágica o una bola de cristal, que nos de la solución a todos nuestros problemas, puede hacernos comprender mejor quienes somos, que queremos y como aprovechar lo que tenemos disponible (interna y externamente) para construirlo.

Y el yoga que en mis palabras y comprensión como practicante desde que tengo 4 años, es este conocimiento milenario, que nace en la india Yoga en sanscrito significa Unión y uno de los libros mas antiguos del mundo el Rig Veda (libro protagonista de la cultura Ayuverda,) registra la existencia y practica de esta filosofía hace 10.000 años, el Yoga clásico tiene una antigüedad de 5.000 años por su parte. En la actualidad existen 28 tipos diferentes de Yoga, combinando métodos antiguos y nuevos pero con el mismo propósito subyacente… Ayudarnos aprender como conectar, armonizar lo tangible e intangible en nosotros y lo que nos rodea.

Inspirada en lo anterior y como espectadora del caótico momento histórico que vivimos como humanidad, deseo invitarte a descubrir una manera de conectar con tu salvajismo interior, sensibilizarte a la conexión innata que tenemos con la naturaleza (astros, ecosistemas ,elementos y chakras). Mi mayor deseo es que descubras que puedes convertirte en tu propio guía terapéutico, maestro y oráculo, pues creo firmemente que todo cambio en nuestra vida para manifestarse debe empezar desde nuestro interior

Aprende a ejercitar tu cuerpo astral y físico a través del Yoga y la Astrología.

INTRO ASTRAL YOGA

I am Juliana, and when writing this introduction, I wondered how I wanted to describe myself, what I wanted to say first to frame who tried to be as a human ... Maybe, my nationality first, my gender, my age ... I decided that the status with the that more honestly I identify myself now, it is my vocation I am an Astrologist (I interpret the hermetic law that since it is above in the cosmos is below on our planet), in my country, the career that I chose, does not yet exist, (I learned my knowledge with a private tutor whom I deeply respect) as a profession is rare, little known, so I have worked as an alternative and independent therapist for 5 years, my knowledge combines the language of an astronomer, the methodology of a psychologist and with this new project I want to add the ancient practice of yoga as a tool to merge everything, because I faithfully believe that our physical body is the main motive to experience our life, and shape the vision that We have from us, from the others.

This project is the result of a personal process of transformation and change that I have undertaken, so that you understand me better, I will tell you. I am Colombian, I am 24 years old I was born in Bogotá the capital and very recently I moved to Medellin a relatively close city. In my work as a therapist during the last years, I have had the gift and opportunity to learn from many life stories, very varied characters of different ages, nationalities, genders, creeds and professions have been interested in my advice, and they gave me the opportunity of knowing myself, through them. I grew up exploring my body as a magical means of relationship with my surroundings, with nature, animals and other people, without discrimination, and with yoga, dance, music and art as basic foods such as food ... My mother is an expert psychologist in body expression, and a dancer by profession and vocation a romantic artist, who fell in love with being a mother, I was very fortunate to have in my story a mother who had the knowledge, talent and education to teach me to express what that made me different and felt, especially for that ... However, when I grew up I understood that this story is not very common, especially I dare to say, in my continent, less in my country. From there, my upbringing and my professional experience arises my desire to offer a service that combines, an astrology awareness tool that in summary and from my professional perspective; Study the cosmic energy and its possible patterns of manifestation, it helps us to see the macro in the micro, analyze how this energy can influence us on a personal and collective level, so that we understand that life is not linear, we are connected as part of a whole and as in nature, what happens to us, is part of a vital process similar to metamorphosis or even photosynthesis, everything is cyclic and if we can understand it, this self-analysis tool, beyond being a magic wand or a crystal ball, which gives us the solution to all our problems, can make us better understand who we are, what we want and how to take advantage of what we have available (internally and externally) to build it. And yoga that in my words and understanding as a practitioner since I was 4 years old, is this ancient knowledge, born in India Yoga in Sanskrit means Union and one of the oldest books in the world, Rig Veda (book protagonist of culture Ayuverda,) records the existence and practice of this philosophy 10,000 years ago, classical Yoga is 5,000 years old. There are currently 28 different types of Yoga, combining old and new methods but with the same underlying purpose ... Help us learn how to connect, harmonize the tangible and intangible in us and what surrounds us.

Inspired by the above and as a spectator of the chaotic historical moment that we live as humanity, I wish to invite you to discover a way to connect with your inner savagery, sensitize you to the innate connection we have with nature (stars, ecosystems, elements and chakras). My greatest wish is that you discover that you can become your own therapeutic guide, teacher and oracle, because I firmly believe that every change in our life to manifest must begin from within. Learn to exercise your astral and physical body through Yoga and Astrology.

Historia Del Trance ________________________________________ #Trance El Trance es un género dentro de la musica electronica compuesto por sonidos sintéticos, acordes largos con ataque y caída lentos, atmósferas, arpegios en ocasiones sonidos ácidos, base rítmica de percusión y graves y melodías muy elaboradas. Suele tener una frecuencia de percusión mayor de 130bpm, las melodías son largas y evolucionan a lo largo del tiempo. Es habitual la polifonia. En la composición de este estilo de música se suelen utilizar diversos efectos acústicos, como el eco, las reverberaciones, la distorsion, el flanger, el delay y el filtro. Estos efectos son aplicados a los acordes, a la melodía y a la percusión. Historia del Trance Sven Vath y Dag Lerner fueron algunos de los pioneros en este estilo de música, además el club The Omen en la ciudad de Frankfurt, fue el núcleo central de nacimiento y difusión del género, hacia principios de la década de 1990. Nace como una derivación del Techno, situando los primeros esbozos de este movimiento en Alemania, en la ciudad de Fránkfurt, los primeros productores importantes tienen su base en Alemania: Jam & Spoon, Dance 2 Trance, Oliver Lieb, Paul van Dyk o Cosmic Baby. Los sellos discográficos que difundieron este nuevo género fueron MFS, hogar de Mijk van Dijk, Humate, Paul van Dyk, Cosmic Baby o el proyecto común de estos dos últimos, Visions Of Shiva, o Harthouse y Eye Q, creados por el propio Sven Väth, que acogió también a gente como Hardfloor, Arpeggiators, Marco Zaffarano, y donde se publicó un álbum fundamental como An Accident In Paradise (Eye Q, 1992), donde se encontraba un single básico para entender el género, L’Esperanza. Otros tracks pilares de este período son Jam & Spoon – Stella y el maxi que lo contenía, Tales From A Danceographic Ocean (R&S, 1992), Humate – Love Stimulation (MFS, 1993), Cosmic Baby – The Space Track (MFS, 1992) o Energy 52 – Café del Mar (Eye Q, 1993). Otra corriente del Trance tuvo sus orígenes en el año 1991, este sonido nace de las influencias del progressive y psychedelic rock de los 60´s y 70´s, esto junto a la búsqueda de emular los sonidos del Acid House con las viejas máquinas que tenían, in

United Future Organization – 3rd Perspective 1997

¿Hacia donde camina el jazz del siglo XXI?. Sinceramente no tengo respuesta. Lo cierto es que grupos como el que os presentamos, abren una vía imaginativa para que la música que tanto amamos se expanda hacia nuevas formas de expresión. Con todos vosotros, United Future Organization.

El proyecto de UFO nace en 1990 con la unión artística de dos DJ’s japoneses, Toshio Matsuura y Tadashi Yabe , a los que se suma el productor francés Raphael Sebbag.

Los primeros trabajos del trío se centran en sesiones de música electronica en la capital nipona así como colaborando con otros pinchadiscos locales. Debutan en 1991 con el doce pulgadas “I Love My Baby (My Baby Loves Jazz)”, un año después lanzan “Loud Minority/Moon Dance” y en 1993 por fin elaborarán su primer disco convencional, “Jazzin’ 91-93″. Le seguirán No Sound Is Too Taboo, Stolen Moments , 3rd Perspective y Bon Voyage .

Nuestro disco propuesto, 3rd Perspective nos parece excepcional. Los UFO nos sumergirán en el mundo de las conspiraciones, de los espías, de los círculos de poder; todo ello con una factura cinematográfica y fondos espectaculares de big band. Ademas viajaremos con ellos a ambientes de cine negro francés e incluso a clubes exóticos de La Habana. Difícil catalogar o incardinar la música de UFO ¿ acidjazz, trip-hop electrónica? … lo importante para el que escribe es que su sonido abre nuevas vías para reformular quien sabe si el futuro del jazz.

Temas / Tracks :

His Name Is… The Planet Plan Friends – We’ll Be Spy’s Spice (Mon Espionne) Fool’s Paradise Waltz (Le Serpent Rouge) Picaresque Eye Nica’s Dream Cosmic Gypsy Dice for a Chance The Moving Shadows

Soulmates

It's good, I guess. The fact that the universe has literally chosen someone for you to feel fulfilled with, is angst and self-war material and I love that aspect of it.

But when the characters of the novel/fanfic just accept the reality like their love life hasn't been cosmically planned for them... That's when I'll know it's time to flee the scene.

There are some phenomenal Nace soulmate fics (looking at you @platanchorsociety) and I've realized that most of the soulmate fics/tv I like are the ones where being soulmates actually brings the characters a lot of trouble and emotional pain upon acceptance.

There's a reason Season 5 Stelena is peak fic material.

Soulmates are good, but that doesn't mean that you can't show any other love. Explore different kinds of love.

And give me more lesbian/gay soulmate fics *grabby hands*

Thanks for the ask!

Vuestro Propio Nacimiento Crístico

Permitid que los magos poderosos de vuestro propio carácter y semblante traigan los tres regalos de los mensajeros... presenten estos preciosos regalos hacia vuestro propio nacimiento Crístico.

Estos tres regalos están simbolizados con oro, incienso y mirra. Durante esos tiempos más antiguos, esos artículos valiosos eran los regalos habituales para honrar a un rey o a una deidad en el mundo antiguo: el oro como metal precioso, el incienso como perfume o incienso, y la mirra como aceite de unción.

Yo os digo ... entended la metáfora de esta bien conocida historia del nacimiento del Niño Jesús en la consciencia de la raza.

Honrad a la vida divina que mora en vosotros ... y que está volviendo a nacer hacia una consciencia y experiencia, más tangibles.

Esto es un símbolo del nacimiento de la consciencia ... la aparición de la divinidad en cada hombre, mujer y niño.

Dadle el oro de vuestra atención y consciencia e intención de corazón, mente y cuerpo a ese nacimiento en vosotros del Niño del Christos.

Christ Michael Of Nebadon

Original

Allow the mighty magi of your own character and countenance to bring the three gifts of the messengers .. present these precious gifts into your own Christ birth. These three gifts are symbolized by gold, frankincense and myrrh.

I sayeth unto you .. understand the metaphor of this well-known story of the birth of the Christ Child into the race consciousness.

Honor the God Life who dwells in you.. and is becoming birthed into more tangible consciousness and experience.

It is symbolic of the birth of consciousness .. the coming forth of divinity in every man, woman, and child.

Give the gold of your attention and awareness and intention of heart and mind and body to that birth in thee of the Child of the Christos.

Christ Michael Of Nebadon
