Chamomile - Gangnam Style parody
Friday, April 18th, 2025 08:13 pmA little something to make you smile, maybe.
Luckily not all of the things mentioned in the song apply to me so far, but several do!
I am still working, really!, I just opened Youtube to turn on some background music.

This is what I'm going to be listening to:
Yeasayer - All Hour Cymbals *FULL ALBUM*
My clock radio played the last song, "Red Cave", this morning. The sound was special and intrigued me about the rest of the album.
That's happened a few times lately. Google Sound Search comes in very handy to identify the songs. Twice, it was able to identify a song based solely on the last two seconds of the song (when I was slow to open the app), with only the winding down sounds of the instruments - that seems so amazing (especially with audio from an over-the-air radio which has a certain amount of static rather than perfect digital sound quality).
One of those other songs is worthy of mention here too. But it is not light-hearted so I'll leave it for possibly another time.

Besides disappointment, I felt some anger too, looking at the results this morning. It has faded back down to cynicism now, though I am still irritable.
Last night around 11pm, one announcer said the results were looking like they did at that hour in 2016. I still remember my reaction back in 2016 around that time; how I couldn't or didn't want to believe it and didn't give up hope. This time I didn't give up hope either, as slim as it kept getting. But unlike last time, I could believe it, because it happened before.
This is a somewhat heartening message:

The album version of this song is shorter, but on it the vocal tone drops (for lack of better description) in Gerrard's parts seem more pronounced to me.
Redneck AI video movie songs
Friday, October 4th, 2024 02:53 amI'm finding it hard not to like these AI-generated videos. Even though I think it is wrong and probably illegal to use the actors' likenesses without permission and compensation. Or at least... I find the videos quite interesting, and the redneck twist is different. It is hard for me to tell which clips of people (if any) are real recordings and which are generated.
As for the Harry Potter one, I don't want to watch or share anything that will benefit the author. But after watching several of these videos, I doubt the entities who made these videos got anyone's official permission to do so. So I also doubt any royalties are getting paid. Correct me if I'm wrong? Maybe YouTube somehow funnels money to the correct people?

cookies, sugar, marmots
Monday, September 9th, 2024 03:52 amI baked chocolate chip cookie bars tonight, yay! With regular flour, and they turned out good. Yum.
Yesterday I tried out a recipe I found for a chocolate mug cake using green plantain flour. It turned out bitter and not sweet. I suppose I'll still eat it, but I hope the other recipes I found mask the bitterness better. I thought I'd read somewhere that plantain flour is bitter when tasted raw, but not after cooking/baking.
.
I emailed an organic sugar company to request them to consider selling their product in paper packaging like normal sugar, instead of in plastic bags and plastic jugs.

Jendrik is back making lovely music
Tuesday, June 18th, 2024 09:37 pmWait, I haven't made a post for *any* of Jendrik's music videos yet? Let me fix that.
This was Jendrik's wonderful entry for Germany in the 2021 Eurovision contest (notable lyric: "So you can wiggle with that middle finger; it'll never wiggle back to you"):

Skipping Girl Vinegar - Hand to Hold
Sunday, June 9th, 2024 05:56 pmThe local college radio station, WUSC, played a catchy song today around 3pm. I checked the station's online playlist but none of the songs matched. Searching on the song lyrics only returned results for other songs. So I finally called up the DJ to ask what the song was. This is it:
The album is available on Bandcamp. It lists the genres as "pop rock power pop folk twee Australia". The "January 1, 2000" date shown on the Bandcamp page is not correct.
Per Discogs, the album was released in 2011.
I still haven't found the song lyrics online anywhere.
.
Last weekend, I was playing the radio in one room while also making the baklava in the kitchen. I thought of ways to play the music in both rooms at once. I first thought of playing it from the station's webcast on my laptop (which was in the other room), and connecting it via Bluetooth to the radio by the kitchen. But the webcast was out of sync with the over-the-air audio.
Then it occurred to me, that I could just tune the radio by the kitchen to the same over-the-air station, duh!!! The old school way. LOL

beep beep the jeep the rain
Saturday, May 18th, 2024 03:38 amThis afternoon while working, I was playing music from my phone in random mode. A fun song came on - "Beep beep! Who's got the keys to the jeep? VRRRRrrrmmm...".
After a bit, there was a sound in the background which I wasn't sure was part of the music or not. Upon pausing the song, I realized it was the sound of rain from outside. It had started raining. I unpaused the song and checked its details. "The Rain" by Missy Elliott, on the "Supa Dupa Fly" album. The coincidence amused me.
When I searched for a video of the song to include in this post, the ones I found were a different version, with the "I can't stand the rain" verse right near the beginning. The version I'd been playing doesn't have that verse until more than a minute into the song. I'd paused it to check on the sound (of the rain) before that point, which is why it amused me so much.
I finally found this video with the song matching mine. It includes the song lyrics in the description:
I played the song again while writing this post, and it rained again briefly!
I may not have realized before that the "I can't stand the rain" verse is not Missy Elliott's voice, but rather a sample from Ann Peebles' 1973 song

flying spiders
Sunday, September 10th, 2023 02:14 amI had supposed that spiders jump from high places, ejecting a strand of silk behind them as they fall, to move between places quickly, and as an initial part of building their webs.
But I didn't know they can actually fly on the wind using untethered strands of silk:
