A tentative blog to test the temperature.

Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.

So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.

Endless Repetition

My problem with these Media Prompt Challenges is that the music they choose is always (how shall I put it?) after my time. This latest one, for instance - OK Not To Be OK - really? What does that mean?

I listened. Twice. Nothing to write about there. But who’s this Demi Lovato? Wikipedia told me. Seems a fairly standard modern show biz jill of all trades. And what do I know of them?

But wait a minute. Who or what is this Marshmello she’s teamed with for this recording? I asked Google. And then I listened on YouTube. And guess what, it’s something I can understand. It’s that old secret obsession of mine, electronic music. And this guy’s not bad. Not the Postal Service standard, I grant you, but better than most.

And I should know. Heck, I must be the only Kraftwerk fan left outside of Germany. And I still go back and listen to Eiffel 65’s Blue occasionally. Something about the hypnotic and endless repetition about that one.

So at last something for me has come out of Media Challenge. Thanks for that, oh mighty ones!
