Music for investment wounds

This too has been listened to and experienced. The original is by Allman Brothers

I myself discovered Zappa at a relatively late age. Since then, many other types of music have tasted like over-diluted and tasteless mixed juice.
Here’s my favorite of Zappa’s live performances. It contains perhaps the best guitar solo ever.

Investing is at its best in its own way like blues music, jazz at festivals..???

There’s still time until Kalevala Day, but let’s put out this weekend’s creation a bit early as I got excited about Suno again after a long time.

With Ukko’s strength into the new (investment) week :saluting_face:

Samassa veneessƤhƤn tƤssƤ kaikki ollaan, lopulta kuitenkin eli…

You said you hurtin’
You almost lost your mind…

…When things go wrong
Go wrong with you
It’s hurtin’ me too…

I’m not going to start linking any ā€œThere’s still summer leftā€ music stuff here, but at the local Prisma, I noticed that without making a big deal about it (no red price tag or anything), the prices of summer beers had been nicely reduced. So, there’s still summer left…

Not exactly a balm for wounds, but for recent game-related wounds, especially in three-point successes …

So, congratulations, Wolves, for a truly great game, and its nuances:

  • It feels good, of course. A truly incredible performance from the guys. It shows how you fight and never give up, Markkanen said in an interview with Nelonen.

While waiting for tomorrow’s game of the ā€œcold basketball ringā€ for the wolves, i.e., nocturnal animals…

And on the sidelines, wondering about the US indices, today too:

You see I’ve been through the desert
On a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain…

…the power of the interest rate cut cannot be as great as it currently appears to be, especially when it comes ā€œfrom the Dark Sideā€, shoe-polished orange…

The historical pressure on the favorite held, even though, evidently lulled by a lead that ā€œalready seemed certain,ā€ truly thrilling cold ring moments were served for a moment as the game transitioned from the third to the fourth quarter:

…Finland’s men’s national basketball team has advanced to the European Championship medal rounds for the first time in its history…

Kalpeista hevosista ja pedon luvusta:

Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long-written down,
When the man [in black] comes around.Ā«

Anecdote from youth:

Baltimore, summer 1979 (I was 14 years old). I participated in a family exchange program, where the previous summer (13 years old, 1978) an American boy came to stay with us for a month to get to know Finland and Finns, and the following summer I traveled to their place (Knoxville, Tennessee) for a month to experience American life, and the divorced mother took us on a road trip, for example, to the capital, and there we stayed in a suburb of Baltimore, whether it was a brother or a cousin (I no longer remember), but from there I got, among other things, Roy Orbison LPs as a souvenir when he heard that I was into 50s music at the time. My few memories from there culminate in the family mother’s comments at traffic lights, saying that if you see someone approaching the car, I’ll hit the gas, whether the lights are green or red, meaning Baltimore’s reputation was really bad back then, and the acclaimed HBO series: The Wire is set in that city. As a long introduction to the evening’s music choice: Baltimore (Randy Newman)

Edit: also a note from Knoxville, that Neyland Stadium, home of the Tennessee Volunteers, NCAAF (capacity >100,000) is located there, and Georgia Bulldogs at Tennessee Volunteers is just starting via DAZN, and when that boy came to us in the summer of 1978, he brought a Georgia Bulldogs t-shirt, and because American football was a completely unknown sport to me, I didn’t understand what I understand now: Why didn’t he bring his hometown team’s shirt (stadium built: 1921)?

Excerpt from the lyrics:

»Beat-up little seagull
On a marble stair
Tryin’ to find the ocean
Lookin’ everywhere

Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain’t nowhere to run to
There ain’t nothin’ here for free

Hooker on the corner
Waitin’ for a train
Drunk lyin’ on the sidewalk
Sleepin’ in the rain

And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
ā€˜Cause the city’s dyin’
And they don’t know whyĀ«

What is the most serious crime you have committed? For me, it’s aggravated fraud. Or at least that’s how I interpret having appeared in an insurance company commercial when I was in elementary school. With the proceeds of the crime, I financed my first audio purchase, which was a Billy Idol cassette:

I’m proud that even as an elementary school student, I understood that the cassette was an unsuitable format, and I switched to buying vinyl records.

Usually, I’m stuck with 1960s-1970s music, so a leap into the 1980s is a step forward. Not necessarily in terms of musical quality, but nostalgia also has its value.

What an entertaining work afternoon with 80s songs…I listened through the whole set with the feeling of ā€œsinging while you workā€œ :smiley: For me, especially the 80s (and much of the 90s too) hit me musically right in the heart, if I have to name any era.

I just finished reading a book about Children of Bodom, and it certainly makes you sad when you think about how a tremendous success story was ultimately squandered. Reading took a long time as I also listened through the band’s discography as it was covered in the book. Even though I can pretty much list the band’s discography from start to finish anyway :sweat_smile: I still always do that when I read a musician’s/band’s biography. It helps you get more immersed somehow and as if live that history with the band.

In honor of Friday and the budding customs chaos, here’s my personal favorite Bodom track. Hopefully, we still manage to avoid the dead end.

And Laiho was not the first nor the last musician to be brought to his knees by King Alcohol…

To the edge of the market disruption that is increasingly coloring the horizon for next year orange, a little blue longing too:

I have listened to the song at least tens of times, and in my opinion, it is one of the best songs ever made.

But, I always remember when a Fender Stratocaster guitar of exactly the same color was for sale at a good price on Tori, which was only a few serial numbers away from the one Gilmour used (I dug up the information from somewhere online back then), and I would have had the money to buy it. I thought about it one day too long. I still regret this unfulfilled purchase the most, probably in vain…

This song describes my investment career - a wistfully melancholic cold ride… and a continuous longing for something better.
