My dad's nicknames for people and things
My dad has a fantastic ability to give people nicknames that stuck. And to coin alternate words for things.
Drums .. da blams His son Shannon.... Bones da stickman - tissue -- "hornblowers" - slippers -- "slinkers" - peanut butter -- "peenter bunter" - my uncle Michael -- "Ralphie" - my aunt Joanne -- "Dodo" - my mom -- "Choofie" and "Magenta" - me -- "Weezer" and sometimes, "Botch" - the latter because the sound made me laugh as a baby

Elliot Smith
I'm really starting to dig some of his songs.
My 90's "girlfriend", Jennifer Chiba, was his girlfriend at the time of his death. She left me a distraught voice message but I was in one of my first meditation courses.

Thank god

there’s your answer from the man itself @Whatsup2

Songs From The Black Hole
Songs from the Black Hole was a space themed rock opera/musical originally envisioned as the follow-up album to The Blue Album, but during the course of songwriting/demoing, the concept was discarded, and the project evolved into the album Pinkerton. Several of the SFTBH songs ended up on Pinkerton or as single b-sides, some of which were slightly altered lyrically or sonically.
Actually, most of the songs were written before I had the concept in mind. Then I tried to alter them to fit the concept. Then after abandoning the concept, I went back to the original version. For example, the first 4 songs on Pinkerton.
As stated on the April 9, 2020 Island in the Zoom episode, I do not plan on releasing a Songs From The Black Hole album, as all songs have been released on various other albums available for listening on my Spotify pag

yeah he grew up in a very meditation family

This is super informative and makes these albums just that much better. Rivers

Midnight (Cardigan Disaster)
Midnight aka Cardigan Disaster was a song I originally wrote for the Black album, but because of the unexpected success of Africa we ended up holding off on its release as a single. It did not end up making the final version of the Black album.
