People using baby talk words like "seppies" in lieu of separatists makes me cringe.

Tonight on "My life is a Telenovela" I walked home from work to find everyone out in the parking lot and there were firetrucks and the whole works. Anyway...

Everyone is posting this. I don't feel the need to include a selfie like the gay version floating around (what you look like shouldn't have any bearing on your musical taste) so here is my nine or at least nine albums I like because it was hard to choose.

A day to remember English singer/songwriter & guitarist Marc Bolan, #BOTD in 1947. The glam rock pioneer, with his band T. Rex, earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1972 when “Bang A Gong (Get It On)” spent 11 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #10. #MarcBolan #TRex #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Random sh*t out shopping.

I assumed that where I lived was completely pro-seperation and have been absolutely miserable for weeks. Finally saw some Canadian flags and Forever Canada signs today and am happy to see pro Canadian graffiti on the fascist's signs.

If you were making a tv programme in the 90s and needed background music, you either used this or Guaglione by Perez Prado. There were NO other options.
