Tuesday My grandmas dying wish is to see me married. Thats kind of hard when my idea of commitment is finishing a TV series. So I organize a fake wedding to Jordan Boone. Ill be the wish grantor and keep my freedom. Do I know my fake husband? Barely. We played together as children since our grandmothers were best friends, so Im grateful hes willing to go along with my wild idea. Except someone (ahem, Mimi Boone) interferes, and apparently weve been married for real. My very real hunk of a husband has grown up to be a fiiiine man. That still isnt enough for me to want to be trapped in a marriage. Undoing it should be easy. It will be easy. Just as soon as I get this inheritance mess straightened out Jordan My fake wife is vivacious, beautiful, and wants to get away from me as fast as possible. I cant blame her when the feeling is mutual. I dont like being manipulated. A quickie divorce would be the obvious answer, but then Tuesday finds out she cant inherit her grandparents farm without me. What kind of guy would I be if I walked away? And when Tuesday moves in with me while I renovate my cousins houseplaying house together isnt near as bad as I imagined. What happens if Im never ready to let her go? Note: This is a closed door romance with steamy kisses, mild language, and talks about grief.

“When I was younger
Oh the path it seemed so clear
I followed the music
And the path it appeared”

Today I am listening to this song by First Aid Kit, a Swedish folk duo. I love their music and this song reminds me of Fleetwood Mac.

Caroline2 I loveeeeee First Aid Kit ❤️ 🎶 🧡 4d

BarbaraBB @Caroline2 @TieDyeDude @AmyG @CSeydel So glad we all agree on this one 🎶 4d
Billypar I haven't listened to them in years, but an indie rock radio program I used to love would play the song The Lion's Roar a lot. I just listened and got some nostalgia- thanks for reminding me of them! 4d
lauraisntwilder I love them! 4d
BarbaraBB @Billypar That‘s great! 4d
BarbaraBB @lauraisntwilder Lots of love here for them. I‘m surprised! 4d
Bookwomble I'll join in the chorus of love for First Aid Kit. "The Big Black and the Blue", and "Stay Gold" are probs my favourite ? 4d
Suet624 Another band I know nothing about! 9h

“Oh, would you help me? I don't understand. Is it over? Am I losing solid ground?”

I love Michael Kiwanuka‘s voice and melancholy. So good!

AmyG He has a beautiful voice. 2w
TieDyeDude Yes! I have Love & Hate on vinyl. I haven't seen anything new from him lately, which means something should be coming soon, right?! 😅 2w
Megabooks I just posted another song by him!! I‘d never listened to him until last night. So glad to find a Barbara (and @TieDyeDude )-approved artist! 2w

I managed to not mention them until now but let‘s face it, among all other tunes and artists I mentioned here, I am always listening to the Chili Peppers too. This one is about Eddie Van Halen. It‘s from RHCP‘s latest album and the lyrics, Anthony Kiedis‘s voice and especially John Frusciante‘s guitar solo are 👌🏽💯

My favorite song by them these days: https://open.spotify.com/album/6DUWfrmH8uTH33wMFOBJDu?si=8nFdJyTQRTOTVwD5HuDitw

Suet624 Gotta admit I was surprised RHCP didn‘t pop up every week on your musical pick. 💕💕 2w
BarbaraBB @Suet624 🤣 I was trying to show I am an adult with a broad musical taste 🤣 2w
Suet624 Hahaha. I completely understand. I think that‘s why I haven‘t participated. It would just be Foo Fighters with an occasional Django Django and Allah-Las. 2w

“I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin
All the things we should've said that we never said,
All the things we should‘ve done that we never did”

My favorite Kate Bush song on repeat today!

It‘s been two years since Taylor Hawkins died. Time flies. I‘ve been listening to this incredible emotional song Foo Fighters dedicated to him:

“You showed me how to be, never showed me how to say goodbye” 💔

https://spotify.link/0O2xup7K9Hb

Librarybelle I cannot believe it‘s been two years! 💔 1mo
TieDyeDude OMG, I am listening to David Grohl's The Storyteller and I am kinda glad it came out before Hawkins' death. Grohl is so eloquent and emotionally intelligent. I'm just getting to some of the Foo Fighters stuff now, and he talks about his bandmates, and especially Hawkins, with such love. 1mo

TheBookHippie Can‘t believe we saw them that year before ♥️ a redo from 2020 being cancelled. Sigh. 1mo
BarbaraBB @TieDyeDude @Megabooks I still need to read that book. I am sure I‘ll love it too. David Grohl is such a wizard with words (and music and charisma, I know 😀) 1mo
BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie It‘s a very special memory I guess ❤️ 1mo
vivastory How has it been 2 years ?! 1mo
Suet624 I can‘t believe I missed this post! I believe the Teacher is actually about his mom but others are about both Hawkins and his mom. I miss Taylor as much as if he was a very close friend of mine. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dave-grohl-the-teacher-song-explod... 3w

Last week I posted about Bowie and @TrishB and @Bookwomble started a conversation about music and Trish mentioned this song and I‘ve been listening to it all week. It‘s gorgeous!

https://spotify.link/9E30zG5l6Hb

TieDyeDude Good stuff! They sound familiar, but I don't think I'm familiar with them. Thanks for sharing. 1mo
TrishB I‘m so glad you like it ♥️ a much under appreciated voice! 1mo
Suet624 I‘ve never heard of them! Thanks for the recommendation. 1mo

“Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind. Wild is the wind”

I recently read Mix Tape by Jane Anderson and the book comes with a playlist. There I discovered this Bowie song, that I hadn‘t heard before. It‘s so so good. I can‘t stop listening to it.

https://spotify.link/apTw45V3OHb

Bookwomble Welcome to my world! 🤗 2mo
BarbaraBB @Bookwomble I was thinking of you of course 😀 2mo
TrishB This was my first dance wedding song ❤️ @Bookwomble the Billy McKenzie version is also awesome. 2mo

Bookwomble @BarbaraBB 😊. David recorded this track for his Station to Station album as it was a favourite of his by Nina Simone, who was having financial difficulties at the time, so David thought she would benefit from the royalties. Sadly, he didn't check the songwriting credits as Nina hasn't written it! I don't know if he helped her out another way - I'd like to think so. 2mo
Bookwomble @TrishB I really only know Party Fears Two by him (well, The Associates). Perhaps I should delve further 🙂 2mo
BarbaraBB @TrishB Really? And I discover it only now! It is beautiful 🤍 2mo
BarbaraBB @Bookwomble That‘s a great story and I guess and hope he helped her out! 2mo
TrishB @Bookwomble you definitely should! There‘s a Scottish tv show segment on YouTube with Wild is the Wind and a song called Strasbourg Square which is amazing. Also, listen to a song called Breakfast. 2mo
TrishB @BarbaraBB it‘s definitely a beautiful song. ♥️ and it‘s never too late for great songs. (edited) 2mo
BarbaraBB @TrishB I checked on Spotify and so many artists have played this song. Where have I been?? 2mo
Bookwomble @TrishB Thanks - I'll check them out later 😊 2mo
TrishB It was waiting for you! 2mo

This week I discovered Maribou State (long live the Spotify algorithm 😂) and am having this song, featuring Holly Walker (also new to me), on repeat. Loving it!

https://spotify.link/rIMQS2RRIHb

TieDyeDude I'm digging it! Thanks for the recommendation. 2mo
vivastory I hate to admit it but I have discovered some real gems thanks to the Spotify algorithm. I think it's more finetuned than those of other apps/sites 2mo
BarbaraBB @vivastory Those on Amazon never lead to new books but Spotify and Instagram algorithms are so finetuned it‘s scary! 2mo

“These massive egos, so big they bend the light”

I used to love Radiohead in the nineties. Now frontman Thom Yorke has started another band, The Smile, which I just discovered. It takes some getting used to but I‘ve been listening to it a few times now and it‘s growing on me!

https://open.spotify.com/track/4WlKWgWG030Cpatn5P6uGE?si=VmGaid7aSbChR9G3i3ldUg

AmyG I enjoy it, too. 2mo
TieDyeDude Thanks for getting things started this week. I forget that my morning is everyone else's lunch time 😅
I haven't heard of this, but I enjoy Thom Yorke's offerings. Thanks for the recommendation!

“I left my heart in Amsterdam, where I could dream and nights were long”

I recently discovered Nothing But Thieves and really like them. Their newest album, Welcome to the DCC, is very danceable and I enjoy listening to it while cooking or cleaning.
The song I chose speaks to me because of its title 😉

https://open.spotify.com/track/454I78HEySdcHE8fcVabTb?si=C8dNc4m-RYylr3RiNz_Rog

batsy Haven't heard of them but just listening to Amsterdam and enjoying it! This song reminds me a bit of the band Editors (especially the album The Back Room). 2mo
BarbaraBB @batsy Yes it is a bit like The Editors just a bit more melancholic, which I am a sucker for 🤣 2mo
Deblovestoread Another new to me band. Great song 🎶 2mo
TieDyeDude Thanks for the recommendation. I listened to a couple of their songs quick, I like their sound. 2mo
vivastory Really liked this song. Adding the album to my library 2mo

“On the path with my restless curiosity”

I always love some music on Litsy so gladly join in #TuesdayTunes, thanks for starting this @TieDyeDude ! The latest addition to my playlist is the newest song by Beth Gibbons. She‘s the lead singer of Portishead and I was hoping for some Portishead vibes. It‘s very different yet her voice is enchanting as ever 🩶

TieDyeDude Nice! I have heard the name Portishead, but I can't say I know their music. I'll have to give them, and the solo single, a listen 2mo
vivastory @TieDyeDude Portishead's fantastic! One of their best albums is their live recording Roseland. Absolutely iconic. (edited) 2mo
Billypar 😮😮😮 This was a drop everything and listen right away situation. Great track. I know we've discussed our mutual Portishead love before. Excited for her album - thanks for putting this on my radar! 2mo

BarbaraBB @vivastory That‘s such a fantastic album! I hope you‘ll give it a try @TieDyeDude it‘s different from all other music imo 2mo
BarbaraBB @Billypar I felt the same when I came across it on Spotify. Drop everything. She‘s even going to tour this summer, I so hope I‘ll be able to buy tickets 🤞🏽 2mo
batsy Excellent. Portishead 💜 2mo
Bookwomble OMG! 🤯 I love Portishead and Beth Gibbons! News of her first solo album is Port-entous!😆 I've just preorded the album 😌 Her album with Rustin Man, Out of Season, is one of my favourites - have you heard that one? And her vocals on Goreki's Symphony No. 3, so beautiful ❤️ Thank you for flagging this, Barbara - you've made my day! 2mo
BarbaraBB @Bookwomble Glad to be of help 😀, i can‘t wait for the album! I love the Portishead album @vivastory mentions above but also her album with Rustin Man and vocals on that symphony. So good!! (edited) 2mo
TheKidUpstairs I didn't know she had new solo music out! Love Portishead 2mo
