Weekend Music (FNM): Dark, Darkness, Shadows, Fade, Nighttime. Part II

last year

last modified: last year

Key words this weekend: Dark, Darkness, Shadows, Fade, Nighttime, Gray, etc. You can also add "black" although we did colors (including black) a few weeks ago. As long as if follows the theme of "darkness" it can be considered part of this theme.

Note: Key words preferably appear in the song titles, but they can also be in the lyrics. Names of groups are excluded so that we will have more variety of artists, unless one wants to do a tribute to a single artist, as Elmer did previously with Bob Dylan on Bob's birthday.

Oh dear. I am feeling so undecided. I put another coat of the Polyshades on last night and it does look nice now -- dark and even. But it definitely is "mahogany" -- deep, dark red. Not the espresso color I had envisioned. But I am now hesitant to start putting on other products and other colors. I'm worried that it will look uneven, or that I will just end up with a mess. Arg -- this is what I get for being impulsive and not doing enough research up front. Anyway, I am heading out to a music festival today, so I am going to take a break from obsessing about stain and see how I feel when I get home. Maybe I will just put the new hardware in and see how I feel about it once the tile is in. The overall impression of the room is more important than the precise shade of stain on the vanity, right? Although -- I suspect that I will have a hard time finding a wall cabinet (for over the vanity) to match this stain color -- I've looked around and there is a lot of "espresso" and white (and still a bit of golden oak). Maybe a "cherry" cabinet would co-ordinate, if not match. Anyway, I need to get my mind off all this for a few hours. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Lilyfinch, I saw your cute bubble pics on IG. Lucia is filled with such joy. She and Henry are delightful. Lisa, you had me laughing at your dwarf SdlM. Goes perfectly with my non-blooming variety. But, your poppies! Wow! Now, that's a poppy! How long do Baby Blue Eyes bloom? Had to look up Bubble Bath. How have I never heard of that one?! HalloBlondie, I'm going to suggest he just add on to the small barn, which is more of a big shed. It houses his ATV, snowblower, lawnmower, wagon trailer and junk. We have just under 6 acres, but the out buildings are all clumped together near the house. Not the best look. Altorama, I'm torn between pampering my Edens and neglecting the heck out of them. Maybe I should send them to you for a few years, then you send them back to me once they get the hang of it. Sultry, the answer to your question is - not a clue. He asked me to find some barn pics to show the builder. He said I should choose because he wants me to like it. Can't be too upset with that! Lily, you'll soon be growing things you couldn't before and your growing season will be almost year round. Only a couple hours away is Roger's Gardens in Newport Beach. You'll love all the garden bling in addition to the huge plant nursery. Festival of the Arts in Laguna Beach is fun and Pageant of the Masters is incredible. There are the missions all up and down the coast. San Juan Capistrano was a favorite. If you like Mexican food, you will find that it is so much more authentic than Mexican food in the midwest. You'll love the jacaranda trees, camellias, gardenias and being able to grow your own citrus. I'd grow citrus for the scent alone. The fruit is just a bonus! Plants that were annuals in TN will be perennials in CA. You can visit Grace Rose Farm for a day trip. Sounds like they're gearing up for visitors, big time. The entire Santa Ynez area is worth staying a day or two and visiting Solvang, and a little further up the coast is Carmel and Monterey, wonderful get-a-way spots. At least, they used to be. A stop in Santa Barbara is a must. And, if you like antiquing, Summerland, just outside Santa Barbara was always a must. Not sure if it still is. Deborah would know. These places are not especially close to San Diego, but more like day or weekend trips. And, I am positively green with envy you will get to visit Lisa and Ingrid.

Tears for Fears was one of my favorite bands for a time in the 80's. This song is actually about tears and crying and darkness. But, they were about so much more than tears, so if you need a little pick me up after that one, as I do, here's a livelier song for good measure.

This was a fun game! I don't normally spend much time on YouTube and it was surprising how much music is there. And just looking for a song with a word in the title, I ran across a lot of music that I wasn't as familiar with and I was getting in a rut listening to my same old playlists. Plus all the videos everyone else posts! I see there are a number of people who enjoy oldies which are one of my favorites. So very enjoyable. Great idea, who ever thought of it.

Apropos of my last comment:

Apologies if someone else shared it - I do try to check all the posts, but then I forget 🙄

And I believe one of the originators of the music threads was a member no longer around? Lars has been keeping it going, with occasional help from a few others.

I was sending emails to one of the originators of the music threads here to give her suggestions for new topics, and she told me to just post the topics myself. For a while, we alternated starting these threads, and then she decided not to post here anymore, which left me as pretty much the main person initiating the threads. She had kept a list or topics, including proposed ones, and emailed that to me when she decided to stop participating.

EltonJohnDenver also started quite a few, and then she seemed to stop posting here as well, although I have no idea why.

As I said earlier, this all started on Hot Topics, and the threads were always started early Friday evening by whoever happened to have an idea for a new theme. There were a lot of disparate people posting on that forum before it got banned (for contentiousness), and a larger percentage of them were men, compared to KT.

I started posting FNM earlier in the day so that people would have more time to post videos while it was still Friday, but since the threads usually lasted through Saturday and Sunday, I started calling it Weekend Music instead but kept the acronym for archival purposes.

A couple of times I did not post anything on Friday, and some people seemed disappointed, and so I decided to keep it up. I don't in any way own this topic, and so anyone is free to take it over.

Carol, no one has posted those songs before, although I had thought that someone had posted the Kinks song, as it was one that I had also thought up - but neglected to post.

I guess I will start Part III now - I did not expect this to get this far.

Thanks for all the info about how this thread got started. I remember the Hot Topics forum and was not surprised it eventually was banned...lol. But I'm not sure what they expected with a title like 'Hot Topics'. [g] I'm glad it's not just Friday night, I fell asleep early and was happy to see it was still going this morning.

Does anyone download videos from YouTube? I see there is some kind of App at the Apple store, although I haven't tried it. I was just thinking it would be fun to have a playlist of all these songs together to play in sequence.

I download videos using an add-on in Firefox - I have never visited the Apple store. I then put them on my Samsung tablet and watch them with headphones while I am on my elliptical machine.

Houzz inherited Hot Topics from Gardenweb and had no interest in keeping it.

You can make playlists on YouTube if you're signed in there. I've done that and have a collection of favorite songs I made to share with my sister.

And many thanks to Lars for keeping this going - I think there was some concern at first, that it wouldn't be as popular here as it was on Hot Topics forum, but it seems to be going strong now 😀

Annie - I don't normally listen to country unless it's very mainstream, and that song by Keith Urban - When the Night Falls - I hadn't heard it before -I can't get it out of my head. lol It has such a catchy melody and chorus. Good one. 😊
