- double thumbs up hallelujah upstairs praise to african / tron duet

one of life's lessons, get really sphincterly invested in the grumble-bass and punch-in-the-guts vintage organ sounds via daft punk's amazing score, never having given them much mind, then have to endure their horrible 'get lucky' follow up on the radio for the next 12 months. no funky guitar at the church.. actually at the indoor church, that's fine. church of the sky, no thankee-sai!

Good DJ pick @Jelly Trev Jones is an old mate of most of us as kiddies:

probably religious (jim henson is more worthy than any I can currently think of for positively influencing young humans with an empowering wonder of the unknown): @seeds and I had a chat about what you choose to take with you on journeys. Or overseas travels. Or car journeys.

slug or snail (or something even cooler?). travel light through life. surely. 'they' say God will provide. It's actually pretty accurate. If you are a people person, people will help, we've all been disarmed and humbled by human generosity. But, if you like to be financially autonomous and independent, Aus travellers, generally have that luxury, also.

Bit of Buddha

“One is the quest for worldly gain, and quite another is the path to Nibbana. Clearly understanding this, let not the monk, the disciple of the Buddha, be carried away by worldly acclaim, but develop detachment instead.”

“Health is the greatest gift, contentment is the greatest wealth, a trusted friend is the best relative, Nibbana is the greatest bliss.”

… & something for the tree worshippers ;)

- All Things Religion

;) as much as I grin at birds and big raccoons
there’s a theme developing here.
Seems we don’t need religion or cults. We just need to be selfless humans.
Appears to me religious morals are actually inherent in us all. Some choose to carrot cake though.
Go the Lions!!!!

^ mathematically amazing result, what're the odds??

^^ yep well done, I took the odd$
… unlike these farkn carrot cakes, winning the carrot cake cup ;)

Amen Brothers

;);)

Church of the Open Sky?
Get some flute up ya madal.

… all things ;)

- hmmm ;);)

Third time I've posted this, I reckon, but GOD I love how creative and thoughtful we are, and don't want that history to get swept away cos our thinkings got corrupted by politicians and theologians. My fave era of modern western history is 400 - 1100 CE, between rome telling us what to do, and monotheisms and scandinavians telling us what to do. Late Antiquity. The era that divisive fuktards like to call the dark ages. Beautiful, we have the capacity to be (as @truebluebasher might say in an introspective moment, while reflecting on punky times ; )

^ watch from 17mins, if you want to see how we have created and evolved our saviour, prior is cutesy polemnic/mason-esque/cultish kinda ditherings around wordplay, which is cool too..

;)

sorry @goofy, fibbed a bit, (unintentionally), the best sentence segment on SN this week: "..he began eschewing the king's English in favour of teenage txt speak"

in celebration of wordsmith @stu bringing back the 'eschew', (as one might bring back the 'girt'), here's a jolly ditty written by a trump-esque arsehole dickity-fuckity-cunty king, not a man by any measure, who created a whole religion (well, denomination). We sang it in underground cloisters in Norfolk once. A gay old time was had by all. ('eschew' @ 1:13)

we also sang this, which was easily the highlight

kondalilla; stephen leek. carl crossin; adelaide chamber singers.

haha, honk if you're horn-y ^

defs post of the week, haha (it helps that as soon as you say 'kewl' we get an instant mental image of a guileless gorm in an orange darth vader helmet)

posted this here, cos any gympie/atlantis/alien/hancock/fingerprints of the gods stuff, is what happens when you take the idols away from the monkeys. amazing, hey? we ain't ready for no-religion. our need to feel like there's something 'going on'..? tin hats, big-gov.. why can't we just take interest in being the cleverest, most interesting, and most destructive thing on an astonishing (asTONISHING!) blue marble in the middle of billions of years of geo-evolution, in the middle of nowhere, in a space we'll never comprehend? is it just too much maybe?

…not knowing will do just fine ;)

- blue marble marvel ;);)

it's interesting, I never found a deep connection with pink floyd, (other than REALLY enjoying 'the final cut' on cassette.. and thinking ummagumma was interesting.. and doing covers of their popular tunes as a grom..) and though:

We cower in our shelters with our hands over our ears
Guitar/Drums' awful stuff runs for years and years and years
An earthquake hits them Superbowls
But the stadium Rock Gods cannotsee
When the Factory Dollars dry up
It will Fuck their boring legacy
It's a Miracle

I really enjoyed the stellar-introspection of that clip : )

nice little full circle, given @PLStocks and @VJ in the latest vic surf report comments

1980, asimov talks about user-friendly tech, spotify, apple tv, iphones, spaceX, genetic modification and the current war (though he thought it would have gotten like this 10 years ago, if we hadn't stopped being global fuckheads, and put to bed our ideological differences). For him it's a glib chat, but good on letterman, kinda cerebral for a chat show. Asimov is also a believer in government and industry being kinda socialist/neo-victorian, he's not so much a dystopian politico-cultist by nature. reckon if he saw the trumps and social media revolution, he'd smirk, and say "of course this will pass, it has to.. otherwise mankind will be doomed, haha.."

…to answer your lebanese christian thoughts.

When satellites of night emerged,
… a thorny crown and skull clapped find.
A ronery voice of wabbit herd,
- unto was found, and capping blind ;)

The sinkers flew with pleasant feet,
… all standing round at pheasants range.
In keeping stinking lemon greets,
- by tethered ground a meeting waged ;);)

An open handed battle ground,
… belief in waves beyond the gate.
The broken feathered stewing sound,
- by often never showing late ;)

From flowing hounded skerrick feasts,
… a bounding hidden wailing tide.
And founded bringing wonky beak,
- the scurried hide of spoken lies ;);)

Beneath remains from inner shells
… a silent teaching gains no wealth ;)

…all things wewidgun
- survival devotion ;)

Here’s a preacher that’s all that.
