Fell into a mini rabbit hole and I'm super happy and satisfied now. Started with this video of ZZ Top playing Precious and Grace www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIy_... That synchro dance midway is fantastic. Seems I only knew a bit of the "80s and on ZZ Top". 1/4 #musicsky

Reminded me that I had made a video playlist of Indian Classical / Carnatic music, mostly from the fantastic Darbar Festival, some old stuff and some recent finds. Maybe someone will be interested?

Lovely, cosmic & spiritual jazz + rare grooves + library music from the master Jazzman Gerald! Can't get better than this!
Here's a Spotify playlist based on these two very different Cosmic Vibe compilations bought from Jazzman Gerald's stall in Camden market in the 1990s. Lots of astral jazz plus esoteric library and soundtrack tunes from the 60s and 70s

I've seen 20 yo YouTubers claim the 2000s weren't homophobic, there was no pushback or resistance to the bush administration, and that nobody knew there weren't WMDs. One even said that George Lucas tried to warn us about the day's political dangers in the SW prequel trilogy but no one heeded
One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

“I have lived through many wars in Gaza, from when I was a child until I myself became a father of three. Like an overbearing guest, the war came and went as it pleased, leaving behind many scars. Time was only able to mend a few, while the rest painfully persisted on, never fully healed.”
