Song of the Day

“When I was growing up I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.” — Lily Tomlin
A while back, I wrote about retiring old stories – ‘Memoirs vs Kondo-ing your history’ – and talked about how, once a story has served its purpose, it can be good to let it go and move on. I’ve made some pretty big strides professionally in recent times, and also had some other past endeavours […]
Song of the day: Joseph ‘Nervous System’
Source: Yet another earworm. Also a long-time feature on my Utopian Vibes Only Spotify playlist. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the pared-down graphics/colours of this vid or just….something…. but I’d love to see a collaboration between Joseph and OK Go. (Don’t ask me, I’m not in charge of what my brain comes up with).
Song of the day: Murray Head ‘One Night in Bangkok
Source: I’ve just got back from 2 delightful weeks in Whitby (I did pre-order the heatwave. You’re welcome). All fortnight I’ve had ‘Two weeks in Whitby and the world’s your scampi. I can feel the Abbey looming over me’ stuck in my head.
Song of the day: Len ‘Steal My Sunshine’
Source: I’m deep into writing my ChMC application this morning and have got my ‘Utopian Vibes Only’ playlist on in the background. I’d forgotten I’d added this a while back. Always makes my inner thalassophile happy.

Source: I turn 53 in a couple of months and while this song has been in one of my playlists for some time, it seems it just won’t leave my head lately. The last few months, workwise, the last few years, globally, and the last few decades, personally, have just led me to a place […]
Song of the day: Nikki Lane ‘Born Tough’
Source: Another one on my ‘All the pissed off ladies’ playlist Does what it says on the tin, for today at least 🤷♀️
Song of the (International Womens) Day: The Highwomen ‘Redesigning Women’
Source: The first time I heard this song I fell a little bit apart. Then I listened to the rest of the album and fell apart a little bit more. I’d probably had a few but the point(s) stand. Anyway, today I (finally) settled on a name and some branding for my new venture. It’s […]
Song of the day: Sneaker Pimps ‘6 Underground’
Source: My subconscious, re-surfacing this from the depths of my brain, during a dream about going on a city break to attend the opening of a new Boots store.
