I was on the BBC News website this morning and read this link title: “Lab Maggots Turn To Cannibalism”, and knew that I had to click on it. Out of all the other links on the page, why did I have to click that one? What messed up part of my mind said that link would have the most useful information to me? I guess whoever is editing the science page on BBC News knows her geek audience very well.
So, without further ado, if you’re curious about maggot cannibalism (just like me!) here is your link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22345811
More later, I’m going to see what’s for brekkie.

black venomous snakes slither over you
i was pulling them off and dodging your daggers too
but you can’t see and you don’t care
how can i breathe the same air
when everything you say is untrue
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
even the moon and sun agree to disagree
so we watch the waves entwined again
but it was too good to be true
our start before fear’s debut
the lights came on and that was the end
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
we won’t put the blame on you
we learned to avoid that sinister brew
but i’ve been broke down and propped up
your lips never touched this cup
it’s the end of days but it seems so subdued
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
i want you to be the other one in this love affair
instead you only pray to me at the altar of your despair
I just remembered (with only about an hour left in the day) that I have a ‘Mexico’ themed song for today’s holiday:
Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that is celebrated more in the U.S.A. than it is in Mexico, but let’s not pick nits, ¿bien?

Talking Heads ‘Houses In Motion’, funky, fun, arty, searing, uplifting, grooving, and just damn good:
Enjoy,

A recent study shows that hearing new music triggers the brain to release “reward” chemicals in similar ways that food, sex, drugs, and other carnal pleasures do:

This news makes my addiction to music seem much less trivial, although being a songwriter also sets me up to be my own drug dealer, and hopefully one of yours too!

On Friday, I went to see the Brothers Jim from Olympia play some tunes in downtown Seattle at Bernard’s, and the audience loved them:
They sing catchy folk tunes and some covers that sound cool with their lovely folky instrumentation, you can hear some of their tunes here: http://www.reverbnation.com/tbj
They’re playing a show with us at the Coppergate in Ballard on May 31, put it on your calendar, you invite some friends, we’ll invites some friends, and we’ll have a fun party.
Best,
SJ
