Paques tumbleweed, day as normal in a muslim city.

(Paques is French for easter)

No easter eggs here. The chocolate companies haven't figured out how best to manage the margins yet. Almost everyone's teeth are already a mess (sugar and nicotine are the dominant drugs), so maybe because Big Choc has invested more in dentistry (which is big money business in these parts courtousy of a conveniently constructed aspiring middle class, you can still see the scaffolding here though - it's kind of cute to me).

Here you can buy sugar formed into cones, looks like about 1 and a half kilos in size. You give them at weddings births or funerals, or something like that, not entirely sure. But you can buy them today at the local taxi stand kiosk.

Sugar cones, thousands of years old, yet still current.

Sacrifice. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we are adding lots of sugar to the story, the speciality of our times. Dude got misrepresented, probably the last thing he expected, but consequences happened. We must try harder to fix that sort of issue, because that convenient crucifixion problem is still our dominant paradigm. Read any day's news for an example of that.

Switched track to old Fela Kuti, which completely negates the issue.

Hot music man.

I'm listening to an old 80's Seattle band called "Weather Theatre" - saw them live a bunch of times when I was younger, and just ripped their 5 song (cassette!) EP to digital. Kind of a cool mix of Doors/Joy Division/Cure.

Local works best!

Doors/Joy Division/Cure would have worked really well for me a while back, but less relevant now. I guess I'm getting old.

Seeing Cure play for hours in a lightening storm against a real forest backdrop, that really worked for me in my youth. And Emma under an umbrella, wow. Great gig, Elephant Fair.

Emma and me were never an item, I just loved from nearly afar.

I'm in the same boat - not really relevant to me much anymore either. Just been going through a lot of old vinyl and stuff, as I've borrowed a record player to rip some old LPs that are nowhere to be found digitally, so I've been uncovering some old stuff from like 25 years ago that I completely forgot I even had - lots of late 80's Seattle grunge stuff (i.e. Tad, Blood Circus, Skin Yard, etc.) and even more 70's stuff - a ton of old David Bowie and Bob Dylan.

If we were in the same boat, that would be both funky and groovy.

I still start kicking my feet out when I hear a Joy Division refrain. Fkn rocks. I'm old, but (embarrassingly) still fit enough to do that with more than enough feeling. Dance, to anything.

I lost my last record players in a house wiht a basement wiht folded foam on the walls. Great house, I don't miss my record players, but I do miss that house.

Haven't thought about joy division in years. Did like "Love will tear us apart" ages ago.

Sorry, but I'm still a DeadHead. Have been scanning YT for old performances. There are loads. When they were bad, they were bad, but when they were good it makes life worthwhile.
