This Music Video will present simple to the simpletons. Those who have never ripped apart their soul, nor faced the most painful of ego deaths. The Music Video is a Message of Harmony. Of Family, of Joy, and of Play. Hellooooo Jupiter in Leoo. I love this season for us. Just as the World is seemingly falling apart, we are reminded that sometimes it is fun to tear things down. Sometimes it is fun to RAGE! In the most innocent of waves. I thoroughly enjoyed the progression of the video. The themes of the imperfect, shyly awkward, and pure evolution of the children throughout this creative process? Just phenomenal! I dive deeper into these themes in my “Music Message” series on my “Come Drink the MoonJuice” Podcast. Where I have teamed up with Rock Oracle to Bring People Together Through Music! Where my dearest Gemini, Michael of Freaky Wilderness, is also Bringing People Together Through Music. The World needs more Life. We need to reconnect to our innocence. Our playful frequency of Freedom. To Love, and to Create. To nourish that imagination within the Heart and Mind of a child. Now that is beautiful parenting at play!

The Tale of Two Air Signs

Welcome Ghouls, Demons, and Fellow Wyrd Ones!! Behold another Love Letter. Another Writer Announcement for the leg of our Lively team at Rock Oracle. Let’s give a Warm Welcome to Stacy Lowry. My dearest Stacy, it is not your mom who’s got it goin’ on, it is you! My favorite Gemini. A true gift of Mercury anointed with Venus, Jupiter, Neptune and the Sun! I have adored the development of our Sisterhood. Unlike Mooney and I? Stacy and I have not known each other as long. Our Tale is still being written to the depth of Mine and Mooney’s. In fact, at the time we initiated your Coming of Age into Rock Oracle? We just celebrated our One Year Anniversary. It doesn’t feel like that short of time. I feel like our souls have known each other for aeons. Another soul making their way home, in typical Gemini fashion. Late, but just in time! Divine Time!

Princess Goes ‘Sincere Chroma’ | New Single & Video Review

Welcome Ghouls, Demons, and Fellow Wyrd Ones! I find myself, once again, struggling on where to begin with the tale I am about to tell. Another Tale of Princess Goes. The Tale of their phenomenal new single, “Sincere Chroma.” A Second Single Release. Another stepping stone leading us through this intimate journey towards the final Masterpiece that is their next LP. I love the sensation of an enticing, slow burn. Especially after witnessing the next chapter crafted by this inspiring group of men. A trio of artists. I was going to gasp if it were a trio of Air Signs. Along this pathway, I have discovered Matt Katz-Bohen to be a Gemini. The Plot thickens. My curiosity could not remain at bay for much longer. The anticipation was killing me. What is Peter?! How do these men compliment each other in such Divine Harmony?? What is the spiritual, Astrological alignment of these Three Musketeers? Well, I did some googling. Turns out our Pal Peter, is a Virgo. A nugget of information that only expanded the HeartFelt message I was receiving through this song, the previous single, and what I am anticipating to be an Album full of Musing Medicine.

Mr. Dinkles’ Insightful EP is Out Now

So, in their messaging you will definitely feel that presence of the punk rebellion. As it was with The Sex Pistols, Black Flag and so many more, Mr. Dinkles keeps this format of not backing down and challenging the norm. Punk is not dead. This is exemplified in “Letter to Elon”, which I have written about in a past article. It speaks on his hypocrisy of not being American yet hating immigrants and spending on rockets when we could use the aid domestically or at least Earthly. It is served up nicely alongside a bed of “Socialism Ditty” that screams about sharing the wealth. “Socialism Ditty is about billionaires taking everyone’s money,” says Rettig. There is humor in the ask but also a furious frustration that looms large.

Cam Gallagher & The Tasty Soul Are Set To Release New Music

I’d say that Cam Gallagher is at it again, but the truth is this dude never stops. I often read about or see the moniker “The Hardest Worker in Showbiz” tied to an artist, and I can honestly say that I have met that someone personally. I first saw Cam play with a southern rock band, and then a soul band and a jazz band, then with operatic band and most recently at a rock/punk show. Oh, by the way, he is a saxophone player. This guy is so versatile that he can play across any genre of music and fit the part. And let me just say that calling him just a saxophone player is very limiting to the full description of what Cam brings to the Nashville music scene.
