The Little Mermaid website belongs to a blogger who organizes month-long tea parties, inclusive blog hops that invite participants to mix and to write collectively on a theme. I have read some new bloggers, accordingly, and enjoyed some new bloggers accordingly.
May’s theme is “music.” It’s a fun theme. https://www.thelittlemermaid.site/join-in-the-fun-join-in-the-may-2019-tea-party/
While music is not my lifestyle, I hear some. My taste runs to College Rock, Electropop, Art Rock, Folk-Rock, and Soundtrack.
I can’t play an instrument, but it’s lovely to think of the musicians who make social media the method to make a name for themselves. Before the days of social media, musicians had to count on other resources to become successful.
One song I have a preference for is the Stephen Malkmus single Jenny & the Ess-Dog. STEPHEN MALKMUS “Jenny & The Ess-Dog” (2000) https://tinyurl.com/yyebecd8
Malkmus had broken away from his famous band Pavement, and I remember his next band the Jicks did Jenny & the Ess-Dog for his first appearance on David Letterman. I don’t believe he had ever been on Letterman’s show.
I regard him as a favorite. Pavement – Perfume-V https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5qnAwmVTv0
I find music to be a pleasant pastime. I’ve heard of painters, for example, who play music while they work on a canvas, or the like. I often play the radio, or the streaming app Spotify, when I blog, do Facebook and Twitter, clean the apartment, those kinds of household business.
I’d like to thank The Little Mermaid for helping with such a great idea as the monthly tea parties. Such are the fruits of blogging with WordPress.
Let’s hope there are more tea parties down the road and thank you for reading about my experience.
