It's building... It's building and growing and moving by itself, now. I can still help, but it doesn't NEED me anymore. (It did for a while, and that's what counts.) Now, it's off on its own adventures, and I can chill... Maybe listen to some tunes... (Here's some art and other bits that I've been engaged with over the last week or so...)

NEW WAVE CULT MAGICK (PLAYLIST) - 25 Feb. 2025
.......
Time for more tunes!!! (Always need the tunes!)
https://hang.fm/da/new-wave-cult-magick-6375
.......
The songs:
---Bunnydrums - "Little Room"
TEXT BY ME: I appear to be invisible on my end, but the TUNES are rocking, so I'm going with it!!! If someone enters the room, I might not be able to see you! (Are the avatars not functioning today???) Feel free to "speak up" and say "GREETINGS!!"
---Alien Sex Fiend - "Echoes"
---Subway Sect - "Ambition (Live)"
---The 101ers - "Keys to Your Heart"
TEXT BY ME to the INVISIBLE BEINGS in the ROOM: At the moment, I'm playing tunes to an empty room, mostly to have something in the background while I work on ARTZ!!! If others accidentally enjoy, so BEAT IT! (Grandpa pun!!!)
---Electric Eel Shock - "Rock 'n' Roll Can Rescue the World"
---The Moog Cookbook - "25 or 6 to 4"
---Funkadelic - "Maggot Brain"
---David Bowie - "'Heroes'"
---Chris & Cosey - "Tantalize"
---Front 242 - "Ethics"
---Vicious Pink - "Take Me Now (Extended Version)"
---Modest Mouse - "Grey Ice Water"
---Spirit - "Morning Will Come (Alternate Mono Mix)"
---Nina Hagen - "Born in Xixax"
---ESG - "Moody"
---Cyberaktif - "Nothing Stays (Extended Remix)"
That's probably enough for now... Playing to an empty room is kinda fun, mostly cuz there's ZERO pressure to entertain (and I can listen to the full 10 minutes of things like "Maggot Brain,") but playing tunes with people is fun, as well. Maybe I'll invite folks next time? Maybe...

[Felt pen, gel pen, Sharpie, and colored pencil on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments.] I'm freestylin' over here! Poetry is what happens when the pens give off too many fumes.

NEW WAVE CULT MAGICK (2 Mar. 2025) playlist...
.......
Yesterday, I experimented with playing tunes while writing, and I had some fun doing that (while Mariah watched shows that did NOT have ghosts in them...) I thought I'd do it again!
Playing tunes HERE: https://hang.fm/da/new-wave-cult-magick-6375
.......
---The Primitives - "Crash"
[Message to he crowds:] "Destruction leads to creation... Sometimes. (Oblivion is also an option, but it's tougher to sell!!!)"
---Switchblade Symphony - "Bad Trash"
---Brownsville Station - "Smokin' in the Boy's Room"
---Syd Barrett - "Octopus"
---Son of Sam & The Good Shepherds - "Starch"
---The Cure - "I'm Cold"
[More jabbering to the non-chat!] "Watch out for falling rockets!!!"
---Red Flag - "Pretty in Pity"
.......
This is a Sunday. Today was our grandson, Riot's, first birthday party. It went well. (No fighting, and that's saying something. NOT EVEN ME!)
.......
---Consolidated - "Howie Livin'"
---The Spinanes - "Messy Shitty"
.......
I decided not to advertise my tune-dropping tonight. I'm just gonna let it roll. Enjoying the vibes all by my lonesome. I get the impression that there aren't a HUGE number of people who use this platform, but I might be wrong. It could be that most of the users are hiding in private rooms. I don't know...
Mariah is watching a disturbing show. I like monsters and ghosts and magick and all that stuff that can't hurt you, but she watches SCARY stuff, like medical shows and dramas... (Not sure how she can do it...)
.......
---The Replacements - "I'll Be You"
.......
The arcade at the bowl was a SENSORY OVERLOAD fest today. Noisy and hot and crowded... I probably would have loved it when I was a kid. Arcades were my favorite places back then...
.......
---Young Marble Giants - "Credit in the Straight World"
---The Raincoats - "Off Duty Trip"
---Swell Maps - "Let's Build a Car"
---Big Audio Dynamite II - "The Globe"
---Ministry - "I Wanted to Tell Her"
---My Bloody Valentine - "Soon"
[END OF LINE! I hopped to the '80s Room...]

Almost 6:PM on Monday, March 3rd. I'm ready for bed... I did NOT get everything on my list accomplished today, but at least I made a list! (HA!) There were a couple of biggies that I finished, and a couple I started and made a dent in, even if they ain't done, but that's a story (or two) for a different day. Or evening... Whatever. Go sit on the couch on a heating-pad and decompress for a bit, then hit the sack!!!
LATER!

Thanks for stopping by!!
