Happy Hump Day! I’m filling in for Don Durito this week, spinning tunes and serving drinks for everyone’s entertainment.
This week’s theme is pop songs for pagan goddesses. I already had a good start in the comments to My Faith is in Nemesis, so I decided to be a good environmentalist and recycle my comments here.
I begin with the live version of “Nemesis” from “The Jungle of the Senses” by Shriekback.
I think of it as my theme song.
I continue to recycle and reuse with “Rhiannon” by Fleetwood Mac.
I conclude the music portion of tonight’s diary with “Venus” by Bananarama.
Reuse and recycle, yes. Reduce? Never!
Once again, I’m concluding the diary proper by quoting Don Durito.
For those of you wondering how I and Neon Vincent are circumventing Sucuri to embed videos, here is an example of the embed code we use, so that you can replicate as wanted:
Just remember that each unique 11-digit video code in YouTube needs to be pasted in two separate locations within the embed code in order for your video to show up properly. So easy that I can do it!
With those instructions, feel free to post your favorite music videos in the comments.
Bananas for Bananarama! I begin with Banana Daiquiri from Tipsy Bartender.
Rhiannon is Welsh, not Irish, but this is as close as I can get to a banana drink for her: Frozen Irish Banana
Yesterday was National Rum Day. Here is a video from my local ABC affiliate that I’m offering to the goddesses.
Another day, another song for a goddess: “Athena” by The Who.
Yes, it’s really about a woman with the goddess’s name, but I’ll take what I can get.
Today’s song really is for a goddess, “Incantations” by Michael Oldfield. It is based on a poem by the English poet Ben Johnson, “Hymn to Diana.”
Thanks for this. I had a bad stomach bug that I am finally recovering from. It’s been one heck of a week.
You’re welcome and I’m glad to see you back and feeling better.
Getting there, slowly but steadily.
