Darwin! with Banco del Mutuo Soccorso

meaning "Bank of Mutual Support", a great italian band who played progressive music in the 70's, as advanced rock was suddenly growing there. And where can mystery come togehter with both power and beauty - as fine as in Italy?!?

Drawin! shall be their masterpiece, second among three first 1972-73 albums hold high, strong and varied enough to survive. Consisting of just seven tracks, but the first two fills much more minutes (in order with the spirit of that time) than the later.

Storying and Restorying

from a self-improvement practice

Wondering what my life story is, which should leap through all the other stories. Here I tried to find out, with as few words as possible:



People gives me everything, but never what I really really want, so I'll have to try to steal that from them, which hurts to go behind the back of nice persons.



Restorying:

When I can get people to understand what I really really want - and me to understand their needs - we can have a more direct relationship of giving and taking.

It's Pony Time with Chubby Checker

Chubby sang many kinds of funny dances as the 60's was fresh, all of them seems variations on the theme of Twist. Since we on a swing school took some lessons in burlesque steps, I realise the moves 'n shimmies fits quite well with twist.

This is his third album in box "CHUBBY CHECKER : 5 classic albums plus bonus..." from Real Gone Music. Not that Chubby sings like Elvis at all, I think rather Ray Charles or Chuck Berry. But the kind of rhytm & blues accomp. close to boogie, brings back much of what Elvis also did. Even if he did everything, while Checker did "just this".

ELVIS Songs filled with most Erotic Energy

in my experience. Now I've finally come to like Elvis' earlier songs more and more, not only favourising his later, bombastic pieces, like I've done during many years. Now I love to listen to almost every song again, just like when I was a little boy (though Elvis already was dead then). Still there are so many things Elvis sang that I haven't even heard. Anyhow, now I'm a man and can feel which songs brings very sexy vibes. Although most of them I would have picked too in my youth two-three decades ago.

Hope On The Rocks with Toby Keith

The King of contemporary country music has just released another album. A friend got me like his Honkytonk University seven years ago. Since then we've given Toby an ear or two. Maybe Keith has become too comfortable, less challenging? But he does it good! Now I get thirsty for his songs again.

Many of them are about drinking, but have they mirrored that fact on the cover? No, it's just Toby walking straight with his guitar. Well chosen bonus track remixes though - should even have been a part of the main album.



most Amusing song: I LIKE GIRLS THAT DRINK BEER

most Beautiful song: HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF YOU

most Sexy song: THE SIZE I WEAR (Round in the places she supposed to be round)

Every Time You Touch Me with Charlie Rich

Another folk country man of the 70's reminding me much of Elvis, even if it could be more the kind of songs than Presley's /Rich's actual voice. The songs are softly harsh, almost religious [most here are by Billy Sherrill and more, even Margaret Ann Rich, and Charlie himself on some]. Album is from 1975, after he already had sung about the most beautiful girl of the world.

Cold on the Shoulder with Gordon Lightfoot

Canada's old songmaker combines a down-to-earth sense with magical melodies and nice springy rhytms. This often results in something between country, folkie and spanish guitar pieces.

Seldom I've heard anyone making so beautiful chord shifts as Gordon. He can also really sing soft and manly at the same time, like a canadian Elvis?! (even though his voice is something else). Sometimes an almost religious steel guitar with strings or bells helps him.

The year after his official masterpiece Sundown, Lightfoot was back with a less well-known album. Today Gordon turns 74 years, while two days later I will become almost half as old. Here about Cold On The Shoulder from my year -75:



most Amusing song: BEND IN THE WATER

Songs of Love And Hate with Leonard Cohen

Seems I keep returning to this every november, to get a real grip of my bitter emotions and bring them up to something spiritual. Leonard sings more intense and flaming aggressive on this third album (1971) than the more melancholic and dark frostiness he use to possess.

Even though I've not dived really close into Cohen's lyrics, as should be extra necessary for this masterpiece, I feel the deep of the deep of the deep. Longing for very much snow this year!

What if not Why more than What-if...?

...after trying to listen to Igor Ledochowski version of (his old teacher's version of) the four learning styles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles


Interesting how he seems to me to describe the learning process as: "Why?" as a quite unconscious, emotional motivation, "What?" as rather conscious dealing with information, and then "How?" as testing all this in a more concrete way, to maybe at last reframe one's concepts by opening for other "What if...?", which to keep inspiring demands some kind of new motivation and so on...


-What if I learn best by being a what-if?! /an Accomodator?!
= the only style I haven't really imagined for myself yet :-)

Then more specifically it would be the negative type of "what if?"... And it's by this division Igor "gives me" insight. In a similar way to the 6th filter of the enneagram circle, the negative what-if:ers seems scanning after what could go wrong, how to problemizing things, instead of just listening. However maybe still realtively positive, to problemizing further and find some solution?



Igor speaks in a super-fast way difficult to hear every word. Well, as following I hear the mind-bending information about the possible Accomodator [though he never uses that term]:

"Finally the What-if-people, these are people who - once the information is being presented, they need to make connections to it, like projecting "What if this happens? What if that happens? Can I use it here? Can I use it there?". And there's two types of what-if-people. There's the negative what-if's, which is "What if it fails? What if it goes wrong here? What if it goes wrong there?". Right?...

...And inspectors/expectors //expect us(?) there's not a problem, you just inspect//expect them(?) and think you can handle(?). It's very simple. Right? The other ones are the positive what-if:ers. That's kind of a little bit of what I am, which is "Can I use it here? Can I use it there? What about if you do this(?) but a bit here and a bit there??" Start adding more connections...!"



Later Ledochowski even speaks of "to assimilate" as an important part of the what-if learning process, but I never hear him mention that word in relation to What?-peoples which Colb and others calls the Assimilators

= which I very first thought I was, before mentally collaborated on the material like the Converger my friend says I must be, and finded myself that I mostly get stucked/focused in the motivation phase, and realised why not then being more of a Diverger...?



Like humans we naturally possesses a bit of every type/style - but important question could be which is our everyday focus and/or most effective for each of us to really learn?!?

Old New Borrowed and Blue with SLADE

Too long since I listened to Slade! Even this album feels fantastic, though allmusic gives it much less stars than Slade in Flame from same year -74 and their earlier efforts from that 70's which they glisten with. When I only knew them as funny characters at "film star" idole small pictures...

Seldom has glam rock felt so really rock'n'roll as by Slade, at the same time touching metal. Of course they were in good company by many bands as Sweet, Mott The Hoople and later Smokie. Also now realise how close to Beatles that Slade sound, Nodder shouting like Lennon sometimes, even if The Who is a better comparision as a whole. In fact they already existed in -66 under another identity, but maybe wasn't mature enough before -72.

In one way or another almost every game has to do with the speed of memory and then estimation of positions. So how they have encircled these five excercising areas confuses me a bit, especially since some fields contains much more different games. But it's very good brain exercise anyway, when you develope yourself from day to day.
