I discovered a website where you can download whole albums to your MP3 players for nothing! They are not by well known artists, but they are good and they have a huge variety of choices in genres. If you click on one genre you like, the next list that shows up is even bigger than the one before and the possibilities are endless. Like this: 17sonsrecords 70s abstract acoustic age alternative ambient atmospheric bass beat blues brazil breakbeat calm chanson chansonfrancaise chill chillout classical club cool dance dark darkwave death disco dj downtempo dream drum drumnbass dub electro electronic energic experimental folk free french funk fusion garage german gothic groove grunge guitar hard hardcore hardrock heavy hiphop house humor idm improvisation indie industrial instrumental jazz live lounge love meditative melancolic melodic metal minimal musique new newage noise piano poetry pop poprock postrock progressive psychedelic psytrance punk punkrock rap reggae relaxing rock ska solo soundtrack space synthesizer techno text trance trash trip triphop variete vocal world
As you can see, there is lots to choose from and I had a lot of fun trying to decide which genre I like best. I had two empty 1 GB MP3 players that the Exfactor had given me and two of my own of which I didn’t like the music, so I emptied those, so I had four MP3 players to fill up. Now, I am not going to claim that I managed to do that this weekend, because that would have been impossible, but I sure came close. At one point I literally had to push myself away from the computer and make myself do something else, because I was becoming a little bit obsessive with it. Oh, here is the link to the website: http://www.jamendo.com/en/
You see how it’s a good thing that I live by myself and can indulge in these little obsessions and only have to take account of the Uberhund and makes sure he gets fed and walked on time and petted, of course. He forgives me everything and just lies at my feet while I sit here behind the computer doing my thing. Don’t worry, he lets me know if it’s time he needs to go out and needs a little affection. He plants both his front paws on my lap and barks at me.
So, I didn’t do much else this weekend. It sort of passed by without me participating in it very much. I was lost to the world. My sister called this morning and I said, “Oh yes, there is a real world out here too, isn’t there?” Her husband and the kids are on vacation and she has the house to herself, which she is celebrating by cleaning it. She was washing the windows today. I told her that the dear Lord did not like that, people washing windows on Sundays. She said she was only doing the inside. I said that it didn’t matter, he could see her anyway.
I know I am going to bed early tonight. I woke up with the alarm clock this morning, but then managed to take a little nap after I walked the Uberhund. I am looking forward to going to sleep. Tomorrow I have creative therapy and I must be in the proper state of mind for that. Hopefully creatively inspired. I have a vision of a head I want to make out of clay, sort of like Medusa with wild curly hair. I will give it a go, we’ll see how it turns out. Hair may be to fragile to make.
Sorry for the short post, people, but I am going to walk th Uberhund and then call it a night. I need my beauty sleep.
Have a good one, wherever you are, whatever you do.
Ciao…












medusa hair!
feel free to use me as your model.
Laurie is also called Frizzball, you know.
Hey, thanks so much for that link to the free music, there’s a great selection. I’m very partial to chill out music and they seem to have quite a bit there. I’ll go explore now….
Have a good night, restful sleep and a bright and sunny day tomorrow!
glad to hear you are feeling inspired. Looking forward to hearing all about it. sleep well dear one and enjoy tomorrow.
Irene, you put me to shame with your windows. Still it is raining today so they will wash themselves.
You sound so relaxed! I am so glad!
Have a good day. Enjoy your music.X
Ah, you enaber you… I just may have to check out that music site. After all, I am home on a vacation day and it is raining outside.
So I can afford to waste the day away!
Take care,
LOL Laurie
I think you are spending your time very well by downloading music because I know you enjoy it.
By the way, there is a picture of Diane Clancy on her blog with her long flowing locks, and I remember you wanted to see what she looked like on a comment a long time ago.
