Hello listeners. Facebook told me this is International Women's Day 2016. So here's a song about how men who sleaze onto women suck and are unreachable and behave like tantrum-y children when rejected, (I've seen it, it's hilarious but can also be frightening because they're big and often like to hit things or other big children, or just whoever's in their way). It's judgemental for sure but the bridge is me confessing that I thought maybe this worked for a while there, that manly-man-ness was achieved this way. It isn't. I never tried it either, I'm incapable, doesn't make me any better than anyone, it's just nature and nurture and all that stuff.

Anyways, hopefully it's a fun listen, not supposed to be taken too seriously.

Happy International Women's Day, Women are awesome, treat them with respect and dignity, (just like I'm sure you treat everyone anyways).

 

Thanks for listening, here's a video/drawing to go with the tune:

Episode 160-Oxford Street

https://ia601508.us.archive.org/2/items/CeskyLivesEpisode160-oxfordStreet/Clep160-oxfordStreet.mp3

 

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a hyperbolised spun dark telling of meeting an old buddy recently, which was great, but can be spun darkly via too much thinking on purpose in order to make a song. It's a short, banjolele/synthy thing, low energy, because I am, but soon I'll be sleepin so that's OK. Here's a video for it:

Episode 159-Don't You Wish You Had A Daughter Like Peggy Ray?

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is about Margaret Mary Ray, (nicknamed Peggy), who suffered from schizophrenia, stalked David Letterman for a long while and then an astronaut named Story Musgrave, and died by suicide, kneeling down with her head on a railway track. Tragic, horrible story, I read, (and can see), that the pain of mental illness isn't entirely wrapped up in the illness itself but is heightened in lucid moments, when you see no way out, when you can see the damage that you're doing, or the state that you're in more clearly. That's what got me about this story, that her suicide was all about clarity, so horrible, so bloody sad. Anyways, definitely worth a song, mental health is a serious thing.

Episode 158-Joseph Smith

 

https://ia601509.us.archive.org/3/items/CeskyLivesEpisode158-josephSmith_242/Clep158-josephSmith.mp3

 

Hello listeners. This week's tune is about how I've been hangin out with some Mormon missionaries, (if you listen all the time you've heard about 'em before), and talking about Jesus and the like. I went to a Mormon church today and was kinda slightly disturbed by a lot of it, uneasy like, this is a song about how when I'm speaking with the missionaries at home about Jesus related things it seems pretty OK, fairly helpful, but that formulaic rule driven mini societies created from off shoots of some of Jesus words are probably not for me.

Here's a video with a drawing of Joseph Smith, (founding father or Mormonism), and Jesus as anthropologists think he would've looked like, to go with the tune.

Episode 157-Kickin The Cat

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a fairly straight forward thing about me being a little paranoid, anxious and also super grumpy at a pub. I'll let it speak for itself I think.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for your time. Here's a video of me drawing a cat-squid to go with the song:

Episode 156-Scratches

https://ia601500.us.archive.org/20/items/CeskyLivesEpisode156-scratches/CLEP156-Scratches.mp3

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a dark one, about dark things that happened to me a long while ago, and just kind of dark in and of it's own right in a 'what the hell do any of these words actually mean?' kind of a way. I watched Black Swan recently, great film, hence the title, and also the feel of the thing probably.

Hope you enjoy it anyways, and thanks for your time.

Episode 155-Running Into Windmills

 

https://ia601507.us.archive.org/22/items/CeskyLivesEpisode155-runningIntoWindmills/Clep155-runningIntoWindmills.mp3

 

Hello listeners. This weeks tune is a kind of a rolling along kinda thing, sound wise I'm kinda borrowing from what a guy called Jordie Lane does, if you haven't heard him look him up, he's great, nice folky stuff, great voice. Lyric wise this is about times in the past where I haven't been present I guess, recognising and apologising for that while at the same time not being a door mat for guilty feelings, letting it go, forgiving myself too, I spose. All sounds kinda deep but really it's kind of a rollicky thing I hope, could be sung by a muppet on a horse and cart with a banjo and it wouldn't sound outta place. Hope it's a fun listen anyways, here's a video/drawing for it:
