Good Morning

Sunny Morning by Dora Hathazi Mendes

Blackbird

The blackbirds were busy and noisy this morning. However, I love their deep resonant sounds and it reminded me of this song by Paul -

Beatles - Blackbird

Muslimgauze - Narcotic

"Bryn Jones was not a practising Muslim and never travelled to the Middle East. His recordings as Muslimgauze, however, qualified him as one of the Western artists most explicitly slanted in favour of the Palestinian liberation movement. Since the Manchester native’s works were instrumental, most of the political statement was inherent in the packaging: witness titles such as Fatah Guerrilla, Return of Black September, Hebron Massacre, Vote Hezbollah, United States of Islam, and The Rape of Palestine. Jones’s output was so idiosyncratic and prolific that he would remix anything he was given to suit his purposes and recorded an album almost every week.

Muslimgauze

Muslimgauze albums have been reviewed over the years by Wire magazine. I doubt they even kept up with the 90 plus albums he made before his untimely death.



Bryn Jones could have been a potentially controversial figure if his releases were available in anything except extremely limited editions — usually less than one thousand copies of each title. Despite their lack of prominence, Jones’s blend of found-sound Middle Eastern and South Asian atmospheres with heavily phased drones and colliding rhythm programs were among the most startling and unique in the noise and electronica underground. The Muslimgauze project ended tragically in 1999 when Jones died suddenly of a rare blood disease. A number of posthumous releases including Lo-Fi India Abuse (partially a collaboration with the dub collective Systemwide) and the 9-disc Box Of Silk And Dogs soon followed." -John Bush for allmusic.com

His discography (96 titles at the time of his death) has nearly doubled since 1999, although this count reissued titles as well as brand-new titles.

So here is just one album in full.

3.14.......

Yes, today is Pi DAY!

Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th around the world. Pi (Greek letter “ π ”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie.

So for lunch, I had a tasty steak pie with mashed potatoes, peas, carrots and thick onion gravy.

Also, it is Albert Einstein's birthday and if he was still alive I am certain he would celebrate it as well.

Happy Pi Day

I know... I just could not resist it LOL!!!

Just Wondering

Have you ever been fishing?

Have you ever had your national flag painted on your face?

What makes you nostalgic?
