Where I’m At…

Where I'm at ... and if I'm honest ... I've been here for awhile....
Vulnerable
JUST TIRED by Marco Mattei (featuring Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta) from the forthcoming album Age Of Fragility (released 5/16/25) 
JUST TIRED (lyrics)

My hopes can change from day to day
Nobody cares, not even me
I tried to walk
And maybe I’m tired
Maybe just tired

I look to see another me
Age is just a number, they say
It’s how you feel
And maybe I’m tired
Maybe just tired

Tired of people
Tired of deadlines
Tired of being concerned
Tired of suffering
Tired of thinking
Tired of the earth

I came to meet you, but you were not there
It quickly got dark under the rain
I tried to see through
But maybe I’m tired
Maybe just tired

From The Other Side Of Darkness
Okay today, "day after day", just today is about pure silliness.  Of course I'm talking about a lounge lizards cover of the Violent Femmes.  Yes, you read right.  LOL.     The year was 1983, punk was going strong, and the Violent Femmes burst onto the music scene.    A trio of raucous folk rockers with an attitude that could peel paint, playing at a speed that dared you to keep up.   An album cover that suggested, paradoxically, innocence and danger. 

Well I still enjoy this album.   more for the nostalgia of the times than anything else. I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone decided to shake it up, martini style.   And no one better to do it than Richard Cheese.   From his album (inspired by Guns and Roses Appetite for Destruction) named Apertif for Destruction.  LOL.   Enjoy both versions.

I'm always "game" for the unexpected when it comes to music.   And today is a perfect example of that.  
Bang On A Can is a contemporary classical collective based in New York City that have pushed boundaries of classical performance.    The Asphalt Orchestra is the name of Bang On A Can's marching band.   Yep you heard right.    And talk about pushing boundaries - Asphalt Orchestra have recorded an entire album of Pixies songs.   The Pixies' the popular 4AD label band that was edgy in it's own right.    

Here is Asphalt Orchestra's live performance of the Pixies classic WHERE IS MY MIND (incidentally that could be the name of my biography LOL).   In this video the string quartet with the Asphalt Orchestra is none other than Kronos Quartet (classical boundary pushers in their own right).   

Enjoy this live video along with the Pixies version below.
