The view from the Indian Restaurant is pretty damn impressive. The food is very good too. Amaravati Vegetable Curry for the win. Bawarchi SLC

is acting when they are being recorded.

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in tempo and pitch when performing a piece, especially when it’s an original song that you’re still trying to work out parts of the melody. But even if you manage to land all your lyrics on the beat and hit the right notes, I find that a recording can still sound lifeless or weak.

I try to address this by “acting”, by being the character that would be telling the story or singing that song, by channeling their emotions into the performance.

I heard a cover band once play Enter Sandman by Metallica. They nailed it, note for note, but even though the vocalist was in time and in key, they didn’t sound the slightest bit angry. This made the performance feel… somewhat unsatisfactory. I feel it needs to be sung with red hot fury and blind hatred in the words. Their performance has stuck with me, and it’s resulted in me making a conscious effort to embody some kind of character for each song.

So anyway, I’m a zombie in my entry.

@dgar I saw Pink Floyd perform "The Wall" in 1980. You want "somewhat unsatisfactory", they nailed it. Soulless, lifeless, and dull too.

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

I have no idea why but I listen to Def Leppard pretty much every week. The drummer still has two arms in this one, so enjoy kids!

@flexghost this is one genre that completely passed me by, all that incessant REO Speedforeigner twaddle proved too much. Daryl Hall had some hair, so ‘Sacred Songs’ and a glass of 19 Crimes Snoop Dogg blend.

@flexghost nah, but hair metal completely eluded me, but I didn't want to miss your Friday evening fun !

I kind of miss when Bond movies were completely ridiculous. There would be some woman named Iva Wetpussy, and she'd not wear bottoms the whole movie with no explanation. But we need to make this more inclusive, so there also needs to be a man named Colin Allbutts that wears chaps the whole time, and an Ace named Ima Notinterested, who actually gets all the work done.

Clover is in her terrible twos, and seems to have decided that being a cat bed is an act of rebellion that will not go unnoticed. Tiny Sir the cat says it’s very comfy there.

April is . I love many poems but "Kaddish" by is one of my very favorites. So many incredible lines, like this one: "There, rest. No more suffering for you. I know where you’ve gone, it’s good."

What do you love?

richardinsandy,
@richardinsandy@c.im avatar

@CindyWeinstein I am very partial to Adrian Mitchell’s poetry. This was the first of his poems that I heard him read in person.

BEATTIE IS THREE

At the top of the stairs
I ask for her hand. O.K.
She gives it to me.
How her fist fits my palm,
A bunch of consolation.
We take our time
Down the steep carpetway
As I wish silently
That the stairs were endless.

T-Lo is short for “the little one”. She’s quite small. She’s a tri-pawd feral rescue. She seems to have joined the neighbourhood watch.

There are two cats in this picture, Henry the orange feral, and T-Lo the black tri-pawd feral.

A quick disclaimer, we installed the powerwalls several years ago, before I realised what an utter knob Musk is.

Having said that, it pleases me that even on a dreary day like today, we’re saving some energy.

A view of the local mountains showing how grey and dreary it is, still a stunning view, but cloudy and dull. These are mountains of the Wasatch Front in Utah, still coated in new snow.

Three years ago this week our tri-pawd black cat, T-Lo, came into our house. Her best friend is Henry, the orange cat. Both are feral rescues.

The same black kitten, three years later, sharing dinner with an orange cat. They both have wide open green eyes, and are watching me watching them.
