Wig

This is one of the first B-52’s songs I ever heard, if not the very first one sometime back in 1988 or thereabouts. “Wig” was on their 1986 album “Bouncing off the Satellites”, which was my introduction to the greatest party band ever. I couldn’t tell you where or how I heard this song, as no one I knew at the time listened to such music. All I know is that it made me go buy every album they had made up to that point. And I’ve been a voracious fan ever since.

I used to pop the “Bouncing off the Satellites” tape into my Walkman and run (when I was training for cross country and track in High School). I think I actually stretched the tape out listening to it so much.

I present you with The B-52’s “Wig”:

Seriously. How can you not hear a song like that and just be all happy inside?

Tickets to their NW Arkansas concert went on sale today, but the website was up last night and I placed my ticket order. Just waiting on the confirmation email. *squeeeee*

Until next time...

OMG OMG OMG OMG

It was just announced today that The B-52’s will be here in NW Arkansas on July 14. The B-52’s. Here. In podunk Arkansas!

*squeee* Dance this mess around!

I wonder if they’ll have VIP tickets? I SOOOOOOOOOO better be able to get tickets when they go on sale Friday.

The last time I got to see them was in 1990 or 1991 for the Cosmic Thing album. And I’ve just not been anywhere near where they’ve been since then. I’m so excited!

Until next time...

In the Year 2525

I have absolutely no idea when I first heard this song. I’m assuming it was a long time ago, and probably was playing on some radio station my father had playing in the car.

But it has struck a chord, and has always stuck with me. It’s got that “All of this has happened before; all of this will happen again.” feel to it. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, and I believe that. And I don’t mean small events (although there’s a lot of that going on too), but the entire span of civilizations.

Now that I feel slightly little depressed thinking about that, I present you Zager & Evans’ “In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus)”:

Some of you may find that song both a little slow and depressing.

For you who like a dance beat, here’s Venice Beat’s cover with a female voice. I like the overall feel of the song, but I think it ruined the message. And the video is rather horrible.

And here’s Pete Stark’s dance cover, this time with a male voice. The song and the video get interesting at around 30 seconds in.

Until next time...

Wet Dreams May Come

Back on the “Not So Stylish” post, one of the things I listed was:

5. I still have wet dreams. Not for lack of sex.

Which lead to Cubby asking:

Do you ever remember the dream you are having at the time of the emission?

“Yes” would be the short answer.

But I’m not really sure how to approach writing a post about that. I don’t want to just write about the specifics that occur in said dreams, many of which I do remember. That would seem sleazy of me.

So I guess I’ll approach the post as to the overall themes that re-occur in said dreams. The vast majority of the dreams involve oral sex in some fashion. I’m not really sure why the fixation on oral sex. But that’s what makes up most of the dreams “activities”.

And most usually involve people I know in real life—both gay and straight—who I won’t name here for fear of not being able to look them in the face again.

I’d blame an extremely hyper-overactive imagination, but if that were the case there should be more going on in these dreams than just that one activity.

I’ve always had this “issue” with nocturnal emissions for as long as I remember, both when I was single and since I’ve been partnered. While I am one who can generally go without sex for months at a time, the Husbear is the opposite and wants it several times a day if he could. So quantity of sex can be ruled out for the most part.

I have often wondered if it has something to do with the night terrors I used to have as a child, which have translated into the reoccurring nightmares I tend to have as well. I don’t wake up screaming like I used to, but I do tend to thrash and wake up frequently.

Maybe the dream outlet is the same, and the end result is just a different physical response.

I wonder if a small bladder is to blame? Which I seriously think has something to do with it. I’ve mentioned before that I used to wet the bed until late in my teens, and that I still have an occasional accident. One of the dream cues that signals that I need to wake up to pee is actually me giving myself oral sex in a dream. I have no idea why that is, but it is.

If only I were still that flexible.

I guess until I figure out what is at the root of these dreams, I’ll just keep on having them. Which isn’t a bad thing in my book.

That being said, aren’t you glad you’re not having to sleep next to me at night? 😉

Until next time...
