I'm glad you enjoyed the Struts vid. I think they are terribly underappreciated-- probably because they have a throwback style that doesn't fit neatly into the mold of modern commercial pop music ( ?) Their stuff on their latest album ranges from the pop-rock anthem style of "Strange Days" to James Bond jazz lounge (Am I Talking to the Champagne?) to Stones-ish stuff to 80's hair metal and even a Kiss cover. But it's all fun, and all good.
Deetoo Yeah I see the Chrissie Hynde resemblance! Other people have suggested Luke Spiller is the secret love child of some combination of Joan Jett, Tim Curry, and Freddy Mercury. lol

The Struts are very unique... shapeshifters? I can definitely see the ' Queen ' influence ?
For a really soothing and soulful experience, I've found that this incredible artist can transport to another dimension ....

This is Jonathan Antoine, a very talented young tenor from the UK. I've been a fan of this young man since he appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2012 with his friend Charlotte Jaconelli. The two of them made two albums together, and he has since put out three solo albums with a mix of operatic and popular works. He also has a Christmas album coming out in a few weeks. Please enjoy the national hymn of Scotland. :-)

Thanks so much for remembering Deetoo!! I'm still on a bit of hiatus, and while I'm not anxious about tomorrow, I'm not getting great vibes about the next few months. So I'm severely limiting my online interactions, I just get too overwhelmed.
San Diego is about to go back on almost-lockdown - people here refuse to comply with the rules/common decency. We've got MAGAT motorcades blocking access to voting sites.
In the spirit of this thread, I will offer some things I've been watching and bingeing that I've been enjoying:
The Repair Shop (Netflix/BBC)
Evil (Netflix/CBS)
Enola Holmes (Netflix)
The Masked Singer (Hulu/Fox)
A very Happy Birthday Laura.
I also enjoyed Enola Holmes.
We thought of you when we began posting Thanksgiving recipes (we think of you often actually). Perhaps you might want to post a Thanksgiving one later some time this month.
Sending you love.
I understand feeling overwhelmed by online interactions, and am glad you're take care of yourself. I've been feeling similarly the past two months. Been hearing a lot about Netflix shows -- I think I need to subscribe!
Lots of love to you. ?
Dear @Laura-f wishing you the best birthday ever, a grounded, healing birthday. May angels dance around you, and may you feel peace and rest and may this be the day that pivots not only you, but our whole country and the world.
Hey Laura ... ?????
Happy Birthday! Hope you are celebrating and that some true joy will find you on this night...
To make it even sweeter, Mercury has come out of retro today and things will flow more freely.... it's in Libra and soon will be in Scorpio ?
I made an election night playlist on spotify and have had it on repeat. "Let It Be" by The Beatles just finished, and "Fortunate Son" just started. I'm trying to find a center of calm ... might have to go pound out a workout and sweat out the stress.
I know it's not technically morning still, but with the news we got about the new President, i am having morning all day today! Here is Oh, What a Beautiful Morning:
And if you liked that, here is an acoustic version:
I had no idea where to post the attached, but figure this thread would work. My husband shared with me this video of the earth, shot from the space station. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

I think it is time for a happy animal video again ?
Can't choose though, so I'll just post two:-)
There is a lady who runs a sanctuary for foxes who are rescued from fur farms etc. She posts a lot of heartwarming videos.

Enjoy! If you need a pick me up, these foxes will provide:-)
This (not well known) cinematic gem came to my attention this evening, and I highly recommend it! Just a sweet, profound and entertaining British/Canadian film about an academic Astronomer who obsessively searches the heavens for signs of life ... and finds much more.
It's titled simply :
"Clara"
(It's available on Vudu, Amazon, and free on YouTube)
A song for the Phoenix??
New Moon in Scorpio waxing up... tooonite! If you feel a breaking around this chakra it's ? rising my loves ....
From David Gray ...... "SHINE"
"..... Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts like a feather
But who knows what's waiting in the wings of time
Dry your eyes ...we gotta go where we can shine
Don't be hiding in sorrow ...or clinging to the past
With your beauty so precious... and the season so fast
No matter how cold the horizon appear ...or how far the first night when I held you near
You gotta rise from these ashes
Like a bird of flame
Step out of the shadow ...we've gotta go where we can shine
For all that we struggle
For all we pretend
It don't come down to nothin'.... 'cept love in the end
And ours is a road ...that is strewn with goodbyes
But as it unfolds... as it all unwinds
Remember your soul is the one thing ...you can't compromise
Take my hand . .we're gonna go where we can shine
Where we can SHINE
Through the windows of midnight ...moonfoam and silver"

PS ... The ? energies are waxing, and are stronger and stronger as the Sun and Moon rise to conjunction, exact tomorrow night (11/14) .....
The turning point, and a cathartic, ? powered break through ...
