Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #860 - David Byrne - One Year Later - Musical Monday 1711.13
Hi Mom, Thank you to David Byrne for today's mix.
Wow, writing that sentence almost sounds like I know him personally.
I do get his newsletter and he likes to do musical mixes.
Find here, the set list, some of David's thoughts on "one year later" -- a year with the lunatic Trump in the White House -- and one break out track, which also happened to be featured in the TV show (HBO) Big Little Lies.
I just had a close friend post on Facebook about why he is not paying much attention to social media because of how fucked up the world is.
I agree. My friend, I agree. Slut shaming fourteen year old girls? Everyone we know is sexual attacker or serial rapist?
That sucks. And there's no appropriate way to respond and untangle all that shit.
We need a cure-all, a balm, a poultice.
Lance the boil.
So here's a bunch of great music mixed by a great musician and artist.
And so... it's Monday. Musical Monday.

One Year Later
The presidential election in the U.S. was a year ago. These are some of the pop songs I’ve been listening to in recent months as this strange anniversary approaches. These are artists who for the most part are working in the world and format of contemporary popular music but are often pushing at the boundaries of what that means. Some of them are pushing quite hard, trying to rewrite the rules. Others more or less accept the rules and accept the challenge of working within those restrictions.
I listen to this music while I’m cooking, which I do occasionally—slicing and chopping goes well with music. I also listen when I’m commuting to work down the west side Hudson River Park on my bike (I’ve been working all October on a theater workshop on Governors Island—it might be a year or so before more news). There’s no traffic on the bike path, so I feel pretty safe listening and even singing along on the ride back uptown.
Back to the election—something tells me some of this music relates to how these artists are feeling in the world these days. The tone can be hopeful, yearning and is often a source of solace.

Reflect and connect.
Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.
I miss you so very much, Mom.
Talk to you tomorrow, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom.
