Man, this ride around our star has been craaaaaaaazy. I mean it would have probably been crazy anyway, but with COVID-19 sticking it’s grubby cooties into everything, it’s made things quite extra.
So in my effort to keep being resilient, I am throwing extra right back at the universe–in the way of this specialized mix.
At the end of each BSB show I feature a track that is also in my LiftConfidential playlist on Spotify.
I have brought them all together in this mix show called All Lift 2021. I think you will like the way these are together on their own. If you are on Twitch, there is a video version there as well.
This mix is great for a dinner date, brunch, or similar like event.
It was the first thing I saw this morning. My phone served up pictures of her and I, one by one. Memories. And then the last photo was a collage of the previous pictures all together.
It was a bit much to start the day with for something that’s over.
Fortunately, my go to therapy is music. I did drop a BSB preview show the night before on Twitch. And today going through addition tunes for a likely pop-up Stay House later this week.
Many of you know that I am a geek, nerd, dork, and a huge fan of science fiction. I’m also equally picky as I am passionate about science fiction.
High on my sci-fi list is the series The Expanse which after starting on and being cancelled by SyFy was picked up by Amazon Prime. They have released a trailer for their final and sixth season recently.
And now I’m re-watching the 5 seasons in preparation for this coming season.
I have often watched very closely the music chosen to accompany series. Sometimes you can come across some overlooked gems.
This is often the case in this show. Oh to be sure there are some flops. The track used for the club scene where Nagata and Drummer are ‘hydrating’ after handball comes to mind.
One of my favorites though is in Season 2 Episode 3: Static. Amos is delivering Miller a bag of his personal effects in a bar after being kicked off the Rocinante. And in the background the song Starstruck by Santigold is playing. It is paired well with the energy of the scene, and with Amos’ wisdom to Miller, “You keep picking the wrong fights with the wrong people.”
I have re-added Starstruck to my multi-genre playlist #LiftConfidential on Spotify.
