"Bolt Out of the Blue" by Meg Meyers

#DraftPost

I so love this song!  I do feel sometimes that my friend has hit me like a bolt out of the blue...

"Standard White Jesus" by Timbuk 3

How much of this plastic JUNK will I find on the sidewalk in a few months?

A few of the DVD's I've watched recently have religious (Christianity) undertones and I've found it very disturbing.  The misogyny is extremely upsetting and in the movie "Breach" it really freaked me out!  How can anybody have beliefs that insane?

Anyway, this song popped into my head this morning.  They really nailed it in this song:

Bow down to the standard white Jesus on the cross
and read the letters that children write to the standard white Santa Claus
They want flash, something awesome
Somethin' with a little kick,
Somethin' semi-automatic just might just do the trick

They want weapons to arm themselves against every childhood fear
They want rockets to fly up to heaven and get the hell outta here

I like their discussion about it in the MTV video.

"Simply Falling" by Iyeoka

Another video from Radio Utopia that I love.  I think I may be simply falling myself...

"Way Down We Go" by Kaleo

I just finished watching the "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" video last night.  I had never perceived how incredibly gorgeous and sexy Elizabeth Taylor was until I watched that video.  I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

Then I saw the "Radio Utopia" video for this song!  I so want to look as hot as the woman in that video!!  And I just love the feeling of this song...

I also love the video for this song, but the song is only okay for me at this point in time.

"Kind Woman" by Buffalo Springfield

Several people have said this year that I'm kind woman or kind person.  If nothing else, I would like to be remembered as a "Kind Woman".

"Christmas All Over Again" by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

SueZQ's Christmas Vinette

I had no idea there was a Tom Petty Christmas song until this song came on SueZQ's memory stick on the way home from delivering some Christmas gifts.

"I Really Want You to Hate Me" by Meg Meyers

Need to remember to take a pic before they are worn

Disclaimer: I DO NOT want anybody to hate me and I DO NOT want to die!!  :)

When I came out of Smith's tonight a woman came up to me and said her hands were cold (it was freezing), I agreed to give her a ride home.  On the way back home I decided it would be nice to stop in the Sun Trapp and have a quick adult beverage.  I finally figured out a way I could take a picture of my own fingernails!  :)

I know this is a VERY weird selection for Christmas Eve!  I don't know why this song was resonating with me today, but it did.  I played it many times.  I'm worried I'm going to wear this record out.

"Feather" by Meg Meyers

We had to interrupt the Christmas music this morning.  We are feeling very edgy again.  I took the Kacey record off the turntable and dug out the Meg Meyers album again.  I've played this song over and over and over while I made breakfast and ate.

And with these broken wings take me higher...

"Kill Of The Night" by Gin Wigmore

This was on the monitor in Mindy Pack's studio today

This slide was on the monitor when I walked into Mindy Pack's studio for my session today.  I know it was magic that the slide with me in it was on the screen when I walked in.  It was fun to see it!  The Equality Utah Allies Dinner was so much FUN!!!

I had so much fun today singing Christmas songs.  Mindy said it was funny seeing someone that looks like I do singing that low like Bing Crosby.  We agreed it would be fun for me to dress up really sexy, pretty and then get up and sing like Bing.

Anyway, this video popped up in the "Suggested Videos" while I was fooling around with the Petty Bitches video (see my post for 16-Dec-2017), I love it!

"Breakdown" by Petty Bitches (SLC)

Erica Rose, Kat Kellermeyer, Talia Keys, Hillary McDaniel, Melahn Atkinson

"The Bell That Couldn't Jingle" by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass

SueZQ's sister texted these pictures to her today.  Too funny!!

I was listening to the Herb Alpert Christmas album this morning and I still think it is one of the best Christmas albums ever.  I like both this version and the Burt Bacharach version on the A&M "Something Festive" various artists album.

So I'm listening to the version in "TheNewFormat" channel (Burt Bacharach's official channel) and I heard a ding and thought I must have gotten a text on my phone.  Then later in the song I heard another ding and thought I must have gotten another text.  No texts were on my phone.

I played The New Format version again and then the original album and realized they have added a ding after the line "then Jack Frost froze a teardrop". They have also added a cymbal in there too.  Too funny!!

"Mad About You" by Hooverphonic

Update 29-Dec-2017: added two "Radio Utopia Creations" videos.  Version sounds like a live version to me.

This wonderful song was also in the "Music to Make Love By" list I posted yesterday.  I have to wonder if I will ever need such a list ever again  :(

"Exotique" by Soul Ballet

I was looking at songs by The Cure and came across this list of "Songs to Make Love By".

 YouTube (list): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDYBPCJPqU&list=PL0pfqlUwDuBWtGceFlVHXO_KcbveQOQ2M

This was the first song on the list and so very smooth I decided to post it. I love the images in the video...

"Motel" by Meg Meyers

Update 26-Dec-2017: added an acoustic version.

I can't remember exactly what song I was thinking when I started this post.  I'm going to post another Meg Meyers song from the "Sorry" album.  I so love this album.  I've played it over and over and over.  It feels so right with the mood I've been in lately.

I wanna love, wanna live, wanna breathe, wanna give
But it's hard and it's dark and I'm falling apart...

"Red Dress" by Magic!

More signs from the Bears Ears protest yesterday

#RespectNativeTribes
#KeepPublicLandsInPublicHands

Some more magic happened to me today!  I went to the UPS Customer Center to drop off a package and the wonderful ladies were talking to me about my red coat.  They commented that it was perfect timing because the "Red Dress" song was playing at that moment.

I went back out to my car and I thought "I should find out what this Red Dress song is", so I went back in and they told me it was this song.  I *LOVE* IT!!

"Make A Shadow" by Meg Myers

From the Bear's Ears rally today

I *LOVE* the Deaththrows of the Patriarchy sign :)

#StandWithBearsEars

I was so frozen after 2 hours in the cold at the rally.  I was shaking so badly that I could barely walk back to my car.  I went into the Alchemy Coffee near where I parked my car to get some coffee and warm up.

I didn't have the sense to get a lid, but since it was half gone by the time I got back to my car I thought it would be okay.  Ha ha ha ha!!  Within seconds it slipped out of my right hand and spilled all over me and my newly cleaned car.  (There are so many fun features of MS!)  Thankfully, I had been using the cup of coffee to warm my frozen hands and by that point the coffee was just barely warm.

I was way, Way, WAY stressed out  this afternoon so Sue and I went over to the Center theater so I could escape reality for a while and de-stress.  We saw the film  "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri".  It was certainly a "dark comedy" but it was wonderful, we loved it.

They used the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" in the film and I thought I would use it for my song today.  But I see now I posted it last year on 2-Aug-2016.

So I'm going to drop back to this song which I listened to over and over this morning.  I absolutely love this Meg Meyers album.

"Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac

The band that played after Talia last night covered this song last night.  In the "Live" video Stevie Nicks says this song is about an old Welch witch.  Cool!!
