Hey folks, how are we? It’s Monday… again. Why does it always have to be Monday? I do feel as if I got some relaxing in this weekend but I wasn’t in an amazing mood. I’m sort of stressed and anxious with no real rationale. But the weekend ended alright and I felt decent about coming to work anyway, despite spilling a little coffee on my jeans and a portion of my work area being closed off this entire week, rerouting me way out of my way. Ah well, it is what it is.
So, let’s just speak in brief about life as it is then share the music:
- It is ridiculously hot – hotter than it was in August, which is typically the worst summer month. Last night, at 11 pm, it was still 86 and the kind of oppressive humidity that renders you nearly breathless just walking the dog before bed.
- I’ve come to appreciate Monday evenings as the only night we have no activities. I can make dinner and play Guitar Hero and watch wrestling without having to cart children around all over town.
- My renewed interest in Metallica is giving me the will to live. I remember when I first heard them when I was, oh, seven or eight. My dad watched a lot of Mtv so it was not uncommon. IÂ bought the Black album literally the day it came out. I didn’t follow some of those weird late nineties albums (Load, Reload, garage, Inc.) but their newest one still wails. Also, James Hetfield has always been my metal god.
- Damn, that’s hot. OK, sorry, did I say that out loud? I have a thing for guitarists. And wrestlers. And last night was a pay per view and holy crap! People did some insane things. I just love pro wrestling.

OK, music. Freebie so here we go:
Two new-to-me bands: Like a Storm and Mothership. One is a New Zealand band that utilizes a didgeridoo and the other is a throwback psychedelic rock band. Both quality.
I see your James Hetfield and raise you a Dave Grohl. Two of the sexiest men in rock and roll!

Jingle Jangle Jungle
Digeridoo solo!
The weather probably hasn’t gotten the messge that it’s September and it’s OK to cool down. Hate when that happens…
Not hot here, although we have had some stinking hot days recently but not today or yesterday or even tomorrow but some days
Claire,
It’s been too hot here as well. Our forecast next week is looking better but the temps are expected to be in the upper 80s mostly this week. I think we’re all ready for a bit autumn weather to arrive. Come on Mother Nature, get your act together!! Thanks for sharing two new-to-me bands. Have a tunetastic week and thanks for boogieing with the 4M gang!
