Remember when this used to be a song-a-day blog? Hmm, so do I. And I really -really! – hope I’m back for real this time. But other than saying that, I’m tabling all excuses and apologies – for now at least.
Today is a perfect day for some reinvigoration.
It’s a full moon, for one thing. And not any old full moon; it’s the smallest full moon of the year. I don’t want this teensy full moon to have any self-esteem issues, so let’s send it a little extra love when we (try to) find it in the sky tonight.
In my personal cosmos, there’s a much bigger event occurring. Starting today, I’ll be working with one of the smartest groups of people I can think of – co:collective. I don’t usually mix work and blogs, so you know it’s A Big Deal.
I’ve spoken of my psychic iPod before, but this morning it was especially on-target. I hit ‘shuffle’ to get my song-o-scope for the day and up came “Collective Mode” by Asian Dub Foundation. Now I swear on a stack of mp3s that never has this song come up in any rotation before. In fact, I think in all the years I’ve owned any sort of iPod, maybe ADF itself only came on once. But iPod and I are very in sync; I am indeed in a collective mode.
I’m sure you would rather hear about how this song is from way back in 2000 and that the band members met while filming a documentary at a Community House in London where music/technology was being taught to South Asian kids and all that kind of stuff. Oh, well. At least the downloads are back.
