3. Music for Cats and Friends: Sweet Dreams Edition.
Fri Oct 20, 2017, 10:19 AM
Oct 2017

My elderly cat with cancer is inching towards Rainbow Bridge. She hadn't had a good restorative sleep for awhile and I was worried.

I put this CD on and she konked out after ten minutes or so and is sound asleep.

It's slow, classical-type music but it contains tones that soothe the feline brain. Something something about binaural beats.

There's also people and dogs versions. I guess the science, if you will, has been around for awhile and people meditate to it.

but it will just have to get in line behind all the other things i want to learn - I have three guitars I have no idea how to play. 2 keyboards and chopsticks is about it. There's a whole band in my head but they haven't yet created a pill that will release it without me going back in time and learning shit. :/ lol

I can never get anybody to go to shows like that.

I don't know anybody who likes that music.

I only know metal heads and punks.

But enjoy yourself and give us a review when you wake up tomorrow!

Most of my friends also don't have the same taste as me. Plus I'm at that age too where most of my friends are either married, getting married, having babies, or about to have babies.

That show was fucking amazing though. Arcade Fire rocked. I liked that their stage was in the center of the forum and they had some pretty cool lighting and effects.

I think the best part of the show was when they played the title track to their album "The Suburbs" and the lead singer introduced it as "It's about a dystopian future where a reality TV game show host becomes president and he wants to build a wall."

...."Same Ol' Blues", all 39 minutes and 33 seconds of it. One of two hits for them, although neither one got very much play. Second was their rendition of Jimmy Reed's "Big Boss Man". My musical tastes are very eclectic, too. I don't limit myself to classifications. If it sounds good to me, it's my kind of music.

Itunes awhile back. Some great stuff on there. A few different versions of the same songs recorded at different points in their career. They were always best live though.

That song has some strong memories of a lovely young lady of my acquaintance, and it comes to mind every year about this time. Story for another time. Wonderful song in its own right, too.

Noisy little things. Coffee dripping into my cup.
I have been listening to the sound tracks for Oceans 11, 12& 13 movies these last 3 days. There is a mix of jazz, blues, urban on these CDs.....yeah not quite old school vinyl or tapes, but CDs.😉

I have no idea how you pack so much emotion into a simple scale backed by arpeggios, but Philip Glass did it, and we all just sat there with that look on our faces.

Gorgeous a capella versions of old hymns and Christmas carols. Recorded within an old church in Kempen, Germany. Far and away my favorite Christmas album; real goose-bump material.

That is the title of her album. Sad and mournful songs, and since I am in mourning for our country, it is appropriate. She is a new discovery for me, I think I listened to this 10 times through at work today.

Peace
