I’m learning about the music that works best for me when I am here at this computer. I put every CD I own that doesn’t suck (the rest went up for trade over at lala ) onto my old, pre-click wheel iPod, set up the entire smash onto one playlist, and run that on random play in my office. I use the Bose ring player, set on a towel, and it sounds good enough. I have stuff like West End Girls and Bibo No Aozora (Ryuichi Sakamoto), the Divas Exotica CD and Trance Electronica (head banging variety) to keep me going.
And today, I am also checking out embedding links in a post. Working within the WordPress format, I assume this will work, but count on nothing. I also assume that if I link to another blog in a post, that blog will hear about it. Again, I’m not counting on it and think I will/should/might notify them?
Ah, Van Morrison’s Spanish Steps from the Poetic Champions Compose CD just came on. I love that music. Reminds me of life on a pink cloud when I lived in Laguna Beach throughout the 80’s. Always I dream of going home again, and lying on the beach in the wind in November, waiting for a break in the swells to swim out to the reef and then along the coast up to Aliso Pier and back. The reef makes a noise all of its own, and you follow it when swimming so you don’t have to keep looking up to see where you are. And, following the reef is a good idea in case the fog comes in unnoticed. If you are swimming to the pier, you just turn right, coming back from the pier, turn left and follow you ears. Sounds easy, but the first time it happens, the panic can turn you around in the water so fast. Fortunately, Pacific Coast Hwy makes enough noise, that if you can still yourself, you can make it back to shore, I did.
Yes, music works for me. Which reminds me, I checked in on a blog called scrimblings. This blogger has been putting up clips of her favorite musics, and now I am a Brown Eyed Girls fan too.
