#cold spring

Froggie thinks that if he stares at it long enough that it will open. Good luck 😂

The second picture is showing how far along the buds are on my lilac bushes.

This third picture is from the rock garden out front. This flower is the only one that is this far along. Right now it is cold and damp and only 45 F degrees (8C) outside.

かなり久しぶりにハイキングに行きました〜！

マンハッタンから電車で80分。。。🚃

おにぎり買って、景色の良い場所で休憩。🍙🍙🍙

汗だくで2.5時間の登山完了✅　はー疲れた。

この模様はYouTubeにもあげよっかな？🤔

Went to Cold spring today for a day hike!

It only takes 80min from grand central!

Got rice balls from a Jaoanese grocery store and ate them on top of the mountain with such nice view!

Took about 2.5hr to finish the trail but was worth it! Great workout!!!

Coil, Backwards, (2LP, CD, Digital album), Cold Spring, 2015 / 2026 [Covet The Cover]

Tonight, I may Not fathom heaven. My eyes cannot adapt To the bright of those myriad stars To see beyond them, and question The lying emptiness, there, waiting, As anything other than Nothingness.

The sky Spoon feeds me Too much silver, and My tongue writhes in Desperate expelling, So to not speak Your name.

My second star to the right, And straight on till morning,

I no longer see The constellation we created, And I tossed the map toward our Neverland, Because I don't think I'll be flying, Anytime soon in this Hailstorm.

3/21/26.

Thanks to Bandcamp user Raffaele Melina (we have a whopping 154 items in common) for buying this and therefore bringing it to my attention. I really don't own much music like this - I have a few classical records that I listen to now and then. I really enjoy my Gershwin "Rhapsody in Blue" LP and Joe Jackson's "Will Power", but let's face it, I'm not listening to classical music often.

And, to be honest, this isn't necessarily classical music. "Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom" is the soundtrack to the 1975 "political art horror film directed and co-written by Pier Paolo Pasolini". Pasolini was murdered three weeks before it's release. The film is loosely based on "120 Days of Sodom" by the Marquis de Sade. The film has been banned, praised, adored, and hated.

I've never seen the film, but it's hard to imagine that it was named the 65th-scariest film ever made by the Chicago Film Critics Association in 2006 based on this amazing soundtrack. Really, give it a listen. It puts me in the same mood as Molly Drake's enchanting piano compositions sans vocals. Cold Spring, a British label based in Northamptonshire, just released this late last month.
