image link I scrolled through a ton of lyrics, searching for various spices, including the word spice itself, before I happened across, “Pepper” by Butthole Surfers. I’d heard the band’s name before, and the song was familiar, but I hadn’t put the two together. The song is compelling and should have an earworm warning with…
#FFF 72 — Sugarcane documentary
One Doc and One Series Almost in tandem, I saw a documentary and a series on HULU (note: ad-free) where in the unseen world threads reach out to each other. I’ll cover the documentary today and possibly write up the FX series, “The Lowdown,” at a future time. Last year, I heard about Sugarcane and…
dVerse MTB — Shadow
ShadowYou’d not be an ideal in anyone’s fantasynor a bulls-eye to train one’s dart upon.You’re an incomplete package who shouldbe shipped back for refund; 1 Yelp star.You’re a puzzle; with fallen, irrecoverablepieces, incomplete, and donated to charity.You’re not the kind of mystery anyonewants to solve; who spreads dis-ease.You’re a shattered mirror that I stare into,a…

#SLS Phil Lynott (8/20) “A Song for While I’m Away,” from Thin Lizzy’s, Vagabonds of the Western World (1973)
The search was half of the fun on this week’s prompt. Memorizing musician’s and songwriter’s birthdays is not my area of expertise, so I went through the days in wikipedia until I hit on Phil. A few years or so ago, when I was listening to Spotify’s Release Radar, I came across a song by…

ALSO from Oil & Water Don’t Mix Last night, the Michigan Supreme Court did something Enbridge didn’t think was coming and vacated approval of the Line 5 oil tunnel. The justices didn’t split hairs.
