On any post, if the link is no longer good, leave a comment if you want the music re-uploaded. As long as I still have the file, or the record, cd, or cassette to re-rip, I will gladly accommodate in a timely manner all such requests.

Two Weeks in Hell

 

I realize it's been since last month that I posted anything. Sorry about that. It's just that Casa Nada got invaded by the COVID.

My daughter Lao was the first victim. One of her overly generous co-workers lovingly passed the virus to several others after returning from a care-free vacation. I got it next & Black Dahlia, of course, had to share, so that put us all under. We are all immunized & double boostered, so we didn't die literally, obviously. But it was two weeks of hell.

When I regain enough energy to pretend I'm back to basics, I intend to write up my experiences under the control of this insidious vampire virus. For now I'm going to share some music that helped me serve my sentence.

For me the worst thing was that I didn't even have the energy to select the ongoing soundtrack of my life. Usually around here musick is 24/7. I wear earbuds while I sleep & orchestrate my vivid dreaming. The rest of the time I stream Spotify from the TV surround-sound or have the computer...or cassettes...or records...or CDs blaring out tunes through my stereo. The virus struck & an alien silence invaded our domain. It took me over a week before I realized I could just set my play to shuffle. I didn't have to exert the energy to choose but I didn't have to suffer from both COVID & my allergy to silence.

Mixes like the one I'm posting also were a blessing. I hope it serves you as it served me.

Various - Dubnology: Journeys into Outer Bass, Middle Earth Recordings MIDDLE 4 CD, 1995.

      Tested negative yesterday & today. Guess the virus lost, but I feel just like home-made shit. Thanks for the thoughts & encouraging words.

      Just checked out the link you provided. What a wealth of music. After listening to RHK - The Number of Magic, I started listening to the SID - Chant to Jah which I really like. These additional releases are much appreciated. Seems RHK stuff is kinda hard to round up in its depth & breadth, so great great addition.

      (Sorry these replies are in reverse order, just a reflection of my brain-fog rightat the moment.)

      So loving this. My mind just can't settle on any one though for more than a fleeting second. Been having a hella time deciding what to listen to lately. Now I can just listen to each of these new offerings. Don't have to decide what to play, just listen & enjoy.

      Thanks brother. Got those two from OMOA & have been enjoying them.

      Now Rob provided a bunch more Sandoz to add to the mix.

      You guys are the best. Thanks for making me feel better. The only remnant of this evil virus is the lack of even a smidgeon of energy. I'm working on building it back. Weirdly enough, activity seems to be the best remedy, just forcing myself beyond the malaise.

      As always, thanks for your kindness, Rob. Over the actual virus, now just trying to rebuild.

      Don't have the items you linked. Will download & check them out. I'm sure I'll enjoy them on your word alone, but will let you know.

      Again, thanks.
