The Best Carpe Diem Poems

Life is Fine This life is fine The world is mine Though I can’t stop The hands of time The birds all sing And flowers bloom The sun still shines And chases gloom And I can view The sparkling sea And all the stars Just dance with me The clouds, they hide And I must seek The creatures small At me, they peek The grass is cool Beneath my feet The water dew Now wets my cheek I have true friends A family And hope of an Eternity A place where I Will not fear death Where all is sweet Upon my breath Where tears will cease to touch my face And I am blessed By Heaven’s Grace My life is fine The world is mine This is my time To truly shine Eileen Manassian

Avery Parrish(piano)-Jazz After Hours-Orch Erskine Hawkins

A most long and sad day. It was a day of work, but not of great progress. The energy in the world was off, I could feel it. It´s almost 3am, and I started this morning at 7.45, that is what you call a full day at it, At least, I didnt sit in traffic. Ending now the night, with possibly the best kind of music for a day like this one. The great man Erskine Hawkins, after digging about I manged to get some info on him!!! 1989 Inductee Lifework Award for Performing Achievement C omposer and trumpet player Erskine Hawkins drew on memories of a neighborhood nightspot for his classic big band standard "Tuxedo Junction", a jazzy number that became the most popular song of the World War II era. Hawkins was born in Birmingham in 1914, the son of a U.S. soldier who lost his life in military action during the first world war. The young musician began playing drums at the age of 7, moved on to the trombone, then decided at the age of 13 to channel his musical energies into playing

David Bowie - RIP - Gave Us Magic all of his life - A Great Loss for British Music and Progress

It´s the last day of Christmas. Loss after loss, so many of the huge starts are leaving us, and now arrived in other cosmic places. David Bowie the White Duke now resting, ashes to ashes. Many and much of all he did, has had and will remain to have - a profund impact for many years to come. A man with an incredible ability to go beyond, and keep pushing through generations, breaking, exploring and defying with a brilliant flamboyant British deterimation, and endless vision. David was always progresive, his own man, who even at the age of 69 remaind himself, faithful to music. Doing it as he wanted until the end, a great loss, more than a Hollywood star, we are thankful, to have witnessed our British megastar RIP. https://video-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xpf1/v/l/t42.4659-2/12554857_1259548144060634_1231831770_n.mp4?oh=5d5a1f2d076e8a1ebdfa9230765a6bf5&oe=5696CF38

That's Life [from Sinatra A Man And His Music Part II]

Changing the Tune, this song must be played at my funeral. Do this for me, and if you can, hand out the lyrics, and ask all involved to sing itwith all their heart. I have been a puppet, a pirate a pauper......I´ve been up and over out, and I know one thing, each time I find myself flat on my face, I PICK myself up, and get back in the race. That´s life........

Mundo Muzique - Andromeda

Been Today I have been trying to share some classic Techno music with an up and coming DJ in Madrid. It is quite amazing how, so so many people are making a living from playing music with such poor culture and knowledge. I am not saying that the boy Diego who I am trying to help is at fault, he is not to blame, but looking at the DJ´s who Diego rates, and where he is setting his benchmark, it´s so low. Very poor indeed, what is going on? Did Techno keep moving and move everyone on and out to a place that is whitewashed by commerciality? I hope not.

The Italians, are they responsible for this amazing piece? This is just too good, amazing inspired, way ahead of it´s time.

the KLF, (JAMS) its grim up north

This is not the right version of this track, the version we have is proper. This edit is the commercial version, but my mate Steve the Dr. just reminded me of it. Right now sat in Madrid, I cannot say how grim it is, but I can assume the weather is cold and the ambient vibe is as ever grim.

Exciting times for the Modular. Amazing how things have moved on and how they just keep moving. Great to see the endless possibilities and rules being brokes with creation of electronic music.

[1990] Rhythm Doctor - Phuture

My inspirational DJ friend and creative Scott Hallam just left this comment on his Facebook Page.  This is such an incredible record - lovingly created by  Christopher Long  using elements from Phuture - We Are Phuture & Slam, Art of Noise - Love - it really is a masterpiece and in my all time top 3 records. I first heard this on the 808 State show and was straight down to Eastern Bloc the next day to get it. 1990 was a great year for discovering loads of great clubs, music and I nominate one of my record buying partners in crime from that era  Carpdiem Andy Macgregor . Indeed I was and still am a vinyl junkie, listening to this song till I go to the grave, and when I am 6ft under. Listen to this in honor of potential, creatividad, and endless possibilty.  This record I confirm helped drive and motivate Scott Hallam, James Leyland Kirby and myself to push the creative enevelope.  So ahead of our time, as was this record.  Music shapes the future, and this Phuture is not and never
