Happy World Puppetry Day!

It's also your last day to get in a late pledge for the awesome Shing Yin Khor's puppet-film project, The Last 15 Minutes.

#UnofficialDiaryDates #WorldPuppetryDay

@WEATHERISHAPPENING@weatherishappening.network Sickly warm (but not yet dank) in Greater Jersey.

#HelloOldFriend, it's #ThursdayFiveList time again. Let the reunion commence:

* Todd Rundgren, "Hello, It's Me" (1972)
* Weakened Friends "Good Friends" (2018)
* Johnny Cash & Will Oldham, "I See a Darkness" (2000)
* Titus Andronicus, "To Old Friends and New" (2010)
* Lou Reed & John Cale, "Hello It's Me" (1990)

#TuneTuesday has decreed a theme of #TheBubble—"music that makes you forget the outside world".

Al Green, "Let's Stay Together" (1972)

On almost anything Al sings, but this track especially, I just get lost in his voice. So silky smooth, but with barely restrained passion always hovering in the background.
