please share music with me

I have temporarily exhausted my regular playlists and need to burn through a lot of art tonight.

Would you please share with me music you enjoy? Any kind or flavor is appreciated.

If you need some ideas, lately I am listening to this, this and this.

ps- Thank you, everyone. They will certainly come in handy when I have a lot of art to get through.

pps- I've compiled all the songs posted so far into this playlist. If there seem to be songs missing or duplicated please let me know.

My personal working playlist is here. It will change frequently, I think.

just a thought

I wonder if, the reason I leave is so that I can't be left.
I don't really understand it.
Why do I have a mental block when it comes to finishing something?
Why do I hate finishing something and being done with it?
Why is my solution to run away before the end and leave things hanging?

I push others away and feel lonely. But I am really good at making myself alone again, and so easily disappointed or disinterested with others. Why is being with others so difficult?

sketchbook (many large images)

Here are some sketches, and unfinished drawings and paintings.

In the beginning [a forest fable]

1. In the beginning, there was nothing but a stag, dreaming of a river.

2. Beside that river grew a red flower. The flower dropped seeds and a great ocean of poppies flooded the riverbanks.

3. The heavy pollen from the flowers woke the stag from his slumber. When he awoke, he stood in dark space, empty and blacker than a crow's feathers.

4. When the stag bellowed, the sound ripped a hole in the blackness and he stepped through the tear into his dream.

5. At the top of a mountain, his step knocked loose a boulder which rolled over the river, and, sent flying, landed with a crash that cracked it in half.

6. The flowers ate the stone, and the stone looked like four hands offering up the world.

7. The stag ate the flowers and the black centers of the poppies looked like a crow's feathers.

8. The crows ate the stag.

9. The stag looked like a forest made of ivory branches.

10. By the river, there were nothing but poppies and two stones with four hands offering up the world to a forest made of ivory branches, dreaming of a stag.




I have been reading Zachary Schomburg's "The Man Suit" and wanted to try using a numbered list, as well

a good day - the seventh moon

You dressed me selfishly, then played the terror. A constant push and pull of panic and pretend impatience. I am ignoring you. Don't fall off my back while we're dancing, now. I haven't laughed so in ages.
