Fortnight Friday Music this week is the owner of a lonely heart with the theme "Breakups". Let's hear what she said: "I’ve been waitin’ up at Clermont Park since half past ten How could you leave me out here in the dark all alone again Well this time, it’s too bad, don’t complain Cause it’s me that’s been had, whoa-oh Let’s call it a day, if you don’t go, I’ll be away, hey Miles away Before you even feel it I’ll be miles away …" Hosts: @npub1rph4...y4nw @bborn Theme: Yank Song: "Miles Away" (1981 single version) Performed by: Holly and the Italians Link: #FortnightFridayMusic #Breakups #HollyAndTheItalians

From the Brain DJ this morning, something closer to this century (but not quite from the last 25 years). Eternal, though – Massive Attack, "Inertia Creeps" (1998) #Music #ElectronicMusic #MassiveAttack

Useless quote for 12 December: "Different motives inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress, but an adaptation of the idea one wants to express and the means to express that idea." ~ Pablo Picasso, in a 2023 interview with Marius de Zayas, "The Arts" May 1923 #UselessQuote #PabloPicasso

An earworm, for me, is a song that I don't want to hear repeating in my head. This morning I have an earworm (don't ask what it is), so in lieu of the Brain DJ, we have a recent jazz-funk release: Cory Wong with Metropole Orkest, "305" (2024) Featuring Chris Potter on saxophone, and the band Electric Kif. #Music #JazzFunk #CoryWong #ElectricKif #ChrisPotter

Useless quote for 11 December: "Some researchers, Biermann* argued, have fallen prey to something he calls “the Captain Kirk fallacy”: The idea that super smart people, like those in a spaceship cockpit in the series Star Trek, just have to press a few buttons to solve all problems." ~ Ramin Skibba, in "Geoengineering Could Alter Global Climate. Should It?", Undark, 3 Dec 2024 * Frank Biermann, a researcher of global sustainability governance at Utrecht University Link to source:
