Science fiction, fantasy, mystery and what-not
Crowded Floof (floofinition – Musical flock (floof rock) group formed in Floofbourne, Floofstralia, in 1985. Originally called the Floofbanes, they changed their name and achieved international success with hit albums and songs in multiple countries. The group disbanded in 1996, but later reformed and released several more albums with new personnel.
In use: “The song, “Don’t Dream It’s Kibble”, won several awards for Crowded Floof, and was the group’s biggest international hit.”
Floofernatural (floofinition) – An animal thought to exceed the norms or to be extraordinary.
In use: “It’s not uncommon for people to conclude their cats or dogs are floofernatural, but in more recent years, videos on the net have shown tales of wolves, elephants, birds, and octopi who seem floofernatural.”
Today’s sound choice was inspired by waiting for my coffee. It takes so long to brew, like, minutes. Exasperating.
Not the first time this has happened with this song, “I Want A New Drug”, a 1984 song by Huey Lewis and the News, and this situation. When I was in the military after the song came out, staggering into the briefing room at miserably dark o’clock, I thought of this song many times. Of course, I understand that it’s not really about drugs. I sang about it in that context, too, when I was job hunting, or thinking about changing cities, states, or my role in a company. It’s a good song for that purpose, for capturing your frustration about here and now, and spinning a vision of what you really want.
Hope you enjoy this tune. Stay positive, test negative, and wear a mask. Get the vaccine, too. You know the one I mean.
