Another one for the title rather than the overall vibe. The opening is pretty blissful, though… Muse "Bliss" youtu.be/eMqsWc8muj8 #JukeboxFridayNight #PeaceAndCalm

The music isn't peaceful or calming. The song is a warning against saying one thing and doing another (like another song off the same album) -- you know, being a hypocrite, cos hypocrisy doesn't have a tendency to calm situations or lead to lasting good outcomes. So, this one's for the title […]

There's a piano. And it features fairly prominently. Guns n Roses "November Rain" youtu.be/8SbUC-UaAxE Bonus that it's one of the 5 GnR songs Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon) did some backing vocals on. #JukeboxFridayNight #PianoMusic

Please, if you use something I made, be it music or sound, please just credit somewhere. It was free to begin with, attribution costs nothing but a few words. That's all I ask. Me, and many other creators.

funny how the people with all the wealth keep saying that the redistribution of that wealth would be "unfeasible" and "wouldn't fix things" and even funnier that everyone keeps believing them

Late 1990s-early 2000s I used to love going out to dance along to these guys. They were really popular in Dunedin, the dance floor always full. My favourite memory is them playing on the stage that used to be int eh lower Octagon one summer evening. It rained (it's OK, there was a cover over the […]

I adore this album. I won it on cassette from our local rock radio station (93RoxFM!), but went on to buy the CD and a Discman. I cleaned at my dad's work each Friday evening at the time (locksmiths), and each week I would start with this album. For years after I still associated certain songs […]

I vividly remember hearing this song for the first time. I'd just been into radiology and come out with some pretty clear scans of my first baby (not my first scan, but the first where he looked like a baby and not a bean). Came out from radiology, climbed into my husband's work ute… and when […]

Over the past few years I've been listening to a lot of philosophy Youtube video essayists. They're cool and all, but sometimes it feels like there's something missing. Last year or so, I tuned in pretty deeply to Esoterica and No Nonsense Spirituality. Along with these influences, I have been […]

So, Extreme got really popular when "More Than Words" was released as a single. I liked it well enough, and "Hole Hearted", but it was the opening of this song that drew me in. "Flight of the Bumblebee" on guitar. Why? Because one of my brother's best mates recorded himself playing it just as […]

I've shared this, and the relevance, before. This song helped me process a particularly hard-hitting death. Plus, it has a cameo by one of my favourite authors, Joe Abercrombie (& his wife; smooching) who, I believe, edited it. Reef "Consideration" 🎶It's gonna be all right🎶 […]
