Have You Ever One-dered??

It's a Song of the Week! I am so excited to present to you this brand new music-centered feature on the show. Last year we had a blast (my word) listening to 300 albums and discussing them together. Ever since I have known that we were going to get back to holding space to talk specifically about music on the pod, regularly. And just about a year after we started that massive undertaking, the time is now!! So instead of album after album, we're going to talk about ONE SONG AT A TIME. - This week's FORTIETH installment song is from Artist: Metric/The Clash At Demonhead And is called “Black Sheep.” It is featured in both the film and the soundtrack for the film: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World You can listen to the original album version (with Emily) here: https://youtu.be/G-FpCc434Do?s... (couldn't find the audio for the update on YT) And you can watch the film version (with Brie) here: https://youtu.be/1xcSDYy3Dl4?s... Plus you can almost always grab a preview on my IG @whereschloe; it's up on the profile. - There is no hierarchy; these songs are going to be in basically a random order, chosen for reasons that I'll most likely expound upon within the episode. Along with an array of background, inspirations, time frame, album order, cultural context, related themes, personal experiences, etc. Any genre artist decade that I would listen to is up for grabs and who's to know what will be next and why? ;) Remember your favorites. Discover something new. One song of the week at a time for however long works. I'm ELATED that you're along for the ride, C

Such joy! Such resilience! Such inadvertent humor! Such potential. Don't despise the day of small things, C

The deeper we get into this, the more opportunity we find. Thanks tons for using your free will to be here. It means a lot to me, C

It's good for you, me, everyone, all of us. We should talk about it more, and live it even more than that. I hope this day bring you joy, C

Let's get back to some overt Black history discussion before the month ends! There's so so much to consider- Upsettingly brilliant. Take a deep breath (and stop dehumanizing Black people), C

Getting what you want doesn't necessarily mean that desire abates. But rest is okay to, C

“… and am free.” Technical note: Excuse the cut off! I thought about correcting it, but I don't think I'm going to. I'm not perfect, and I don't need you to expect that of me. I would much rather that you allow me to me human. Now normally, I am a human that is capable of doing a poetry reading while still being cognizant of broadcast and recording time. I've been a bit distracted lately, so bear with me. And thank you. It's a lovely poem, and we'll do Wendell justice again. - Let's continue talking about saving because apparently we really need to. For those of you to whom it is both accessible to think of saving, and it really matters where each dollar goes, put more of it towards places that are chosen by you. I'll see you tomorrow, C

Thank You. Eternally, C

***CONTENT WARNING*** This episode may not be for you right now, and that is okay. It discusses thoughts surrounding fatal self harm. We're also reviewing ways to deal with it in your life, and the lives of those you may know, with the assistance of one specific recent example. I'm not planning on taking it down, so it will still be here for you in the future. There are so many different kinds of challenging thoughts and feelings that are, at their essence, temporary. If you are equipped to listen to this today, that is okay too. You are also free to change your mind at any point and come back later. Or, stay for the entire thing and utilize the conversation as an opportunity if you are able. Thank you for continuing to be here, C

We're going to start talking about saving money, which is tough to do! It's tough to talk about and to actually do because so many ppl are in different, challenging, financial places. Plus talking about money can make ppl feel jealous, awkward, inadequate, frustrated, or uncomfortable. But we press on! Please don't give up, C

More musings on how and where your valid desires are met. In health, C

I was thinking about making this episode a little shorter to give myself a break for the holiday. Buuuut I ended up getting into talking about how things are going to turn out alright, and wanted to press on :) Hope you do as well, C

Drink enough. It's at least one thing that stays simple. Take care! C

I think it's really important to acknowledge the validity of your own appropriate desires. Grateful to have the energy to be able to continue this. Keep on truckin', C

Always worth considering. Thank you SO MUCH for being here! Invite a friend, C

Still looking for someplace with good weather and an affordable cost of living inside the US? Hey, I got you. Plus, Summer is coming, C

It's okay to want things. Humbled by the privilege, C

February is a great time to remember that you should be learning about Black history all year long. Let's discuss a few challenging topics that might expand your independent study. There's no warning here, but there is an acknowledgment, C

You can learn beautiful ways to do simple things by spending time abroad :) Glad yo have you here, wherever you are, C

Ok, they're not ALL warm all the time, but many of them are a lot of the time and that's the part I'm choosing to focus on after this last week. Need someplace where the cost of living and/or the cost of housing won't run you into the ground trying to keep up? This is a valid goal at any age, so if you're not living a location-dependent life rn, here's more than a few places for you to consider (we'll return to this later to chat about the rest) So so glad you're here! Stick around, bring a friend- C

We made it! We've now considered every word of this lengthy, complex piece. I feel accomplished :) There are still nuances that I'd like to revisit, but let's just hold onto these four parts for consideration to begin with. Not asking for blind agreement (I didn't even have that!); I'm offering thoughts for contemplation. At which point you can * act accordingly * and move forward from there. Blessed to have you and your psyche here, even attempting a conversation like this, C

Small joys. Stay safe, C

I know, I know- Flying can be stressful no matter what airports you're passing through. But if you have some upcoming travel on the docket, keep an eye out for these spots in particular. Struggles with things like flight delays, layovers, and security wait times may leave you feeling like your trip wasn't the best idea after all. Or maybe just wishing you had taken the train or gone for a drive. Sharing the data and some of my experiences! Perhaps you can concur? Or at least, after this, plan accordingly.
