23/20 - Letting The Days Go By

So I'm ending this year in the most fitting way: in quarantine with mild symptoms, awaiting a Covid test result. Already a month ago I started basically shutting down my ambitions and expectations until brighter times arrive, and now I've reached some kind of apotheotis of lethargy. I'm unwell, bored, lonely, and somehow also taking a perverse pleasure in pushing through with stoic inactivity through the last hours of 2020. Anything that happens next will be a kind of revving up again. I doubt it will be a kickstart, but compared to this, even walking out the door seems a wonder of proactivity.

 

Aphex Twin - Fingerbib

The sound of being shut up with myself and playing whack-a-mole with negative thoughts.
 

 

Theon Cross - Radiation

Letting the hours and the virus march through me like.

 

 

Riot Jazz Brass Band - I've Got a Sousamaphone

I am catching up on multiple tv shows, among them the fourth season of Fargo. A bit messier than earlier seasons, but the Cannon gang has the best action music.

 

Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose - Too Late To Turn Back Now

Another thing I watched was BlacKkKlansman and it was awesome, and it had a fantastic music and dance number courtesy of this tune. Remember dancing?

 

 

Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime (live)

After having listend to this great episode of Soul Music I realised the only way to end this year with dignity is with one of the best songs ever.

 

TIME ISN'T HOLDING US.

 

TIME ISN'T AFTER US.

 

 

HAPPY
