There are many who give RP's song comments a voice and a personality: you, with your hotel room and green text, fredriley with his Nottingham jury, calypsus_1 with his images...
But what she brought to this community was a soul, a heart. She will not be easily forgotten....

Yes, she could put the "main nerve" into words. I only rarely PM'd her, but, I am betting, like many, I had insights from her comments, and yet didn't really know her. It is certain that she is part of RP's DNA, and will be for along time to come.

Edit: Leslie, you are always welcome in my "e-house" anytime. Stick around if you can.

Romeotuma - this is one of the reasons why you're my friend - you're gracious, even under persecution. Tomorrow is "the end of the world" (insert laughter here) - I want you on my team after everything shakes out.

Cynaera Posted May 12, 2011 - 14:46 in song comments for Faithless — Reverence

I'm surprised! Most of the rap or hip-hop songs I've ever been exposed to are loaded with profanity and defiance, but this is its own genré. Gentler vocals, a more positive message, and yes, very hypnotic. I like it. (I'm waiting for someone to stare at me and demand, "Who are you, and what have you done with Cynaera?!")

Whenever I hear a Lennon song, I thank God that he lived during my lifetime. He had a beautiful soul and a beautiful vision. I try to carry it forward with me, in my small way. I miss you, Johnny. Thank you for all that you bequeathed to the rest of humankind.

However, a troll is always out to get a response, they don't care what kind of response, be it adulation or brickbats, it's just provoking a response, being noticed is what they crave.

And so I suggest that we revert to the wonderfully uncoordinated response to it's earlier postings when we collectively ignored it completely, right up to the point that it fouled a memorial thread.

Hard, but we can do it.

Using a dead person to prop yourself up. Fuck you Tuma.

I saw your name come up in the raft under this very particular thread, and was going to PM you about feeding trolls, but having seen your wonderfully succinct post, I don't think I need do so. A bloody good job, well done.

BTW, still owe you a PM about ISIHAC.

I love it when this song comes up on rotation, so I can read all the hateful comments Papernapkin writes, and the rebuttals. I love this song - and I'm with romeotuma - we be dancin'...

Cynaera Posted Mar 08, 2011 - 18:05 in song comments for Allman Brothers — Dreams

I'm not an old white guy, but I love this song. Whatever comparisons are made, I don't care. I just love the Allman Brothers, and this is an amazing jam. I can close my eyes and be anywhere - driving down a long stretch of two-lane highway with no cars and only the sunrise in my eyes. I can be at the top of a mountain, with the clouds below me and the snow brushing my face. I can be on a sandy beach with white sand, sunshine, and the sound of a ukelele in the distance. I can be anywhere, doing anything. This song takes me to those places. The Allman Brothers' music always does that to me.

Okay - you drink your white chai tea or sniff your glue or whatever else you might do to get inspired. I listen to the music of RadioParadise, and it keeps me alive and motivates me and inspires me. I love RP.

Shutting up now.

Cynaera Posted Aug 19, 2010 - 19:17 in song comments for U2 — All I Want Is You

I love the spacy, ethereal ending to this - and I love that the band sounds so darned tight - like they're reading one anothers' thoughts. It's a wonderful song.

Cynaera Posted May 10, 2011 - 12:02 in song comments for Uncle Tupelo — Moonshiner

So - okay, this is a Bob Dylan song, but he paraphrased some words I can remember my mother reciting to me whimsically when I was a little kid in the late fifties: "I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. And if a tree don't fall on me, I'll live 'till I die."

Now - to quote my favorite Portland band, Dirty Martini: "It's only music... and all you are... is a song..."

Cynaera Posted Oct 14, 2011 - 09:12 in song comments for Ramones — I Wanna Be Sedated

I had made up my mind that today, Friday, I would NOT be depressed. And then this played, and I raised my eyes skyward and thanked the powers that be for the one song that could guarantee my good mood.

Gotta go now - I owe romeotuma a dance!

Cynaera Posted Aug 26, 2010 - 19:14 in song comments for The Smashing Pumpkins — Thirty-Three

My friend, I hate that people provoke you into defending yourself, but man, if backed into a corner, you rock. When the end of the world comes, I want you in my tribe. *hugs you*

And yeah - this song is really good. My ears are happy ears.
