Tupelo Honey Tag Page
Van Morrison’s new album ‘Keep It Simple’ comes out today, April 1st. You can still hear the heavy influence of American R&B and blues in Van’s voice and in all eleven songs, which he wrote.
The album conjures up a taste of “Tupelo Honey” and “Into the Mystic,” rather than “Domino” or [...]
Fave Etailer: Fantasy Bath 1 Comment If you asked me who was my #1 most beloved etailer I would easily answer Fantasy Bath. Do not get me wrong all the ones I have mentioned and will be talking about in the week to come I do love. However, Fantasy Bath has been my top choice for as long as I have been making etailer bath and body purchases. Their one scent Snow Wonder keeps me happy all year around. I'd try to describe it but really there is no way. Fantasy Bath describes it as cr
Coffee Break Jenn and The Revenge Of The Lasso Of Truth I've posted the pictures from the Superhero 5k in Asheville yesterday on Ben's photo gallery: here at http://www.seaoffire.net/gallery/v/superhero5k/. If there's a pic of you that you don't like, just let me know. I kind of skim the ones without me in it as I take the Dennis Reynolds approach to photographs: If I'm not in any of them, and nobody's having sex, I just don't care. Of course, there are some that just grab one's attention f
Graham Parker - White HoneyThis week, I spent so much time focusing on the election hoohaa that I pretty much zoned out everything else. To remedy that, I listened to Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey cd in the car, since it seems that is where I do my best listening. (By the way, I highly recommend Morrison to soothe your soul and reclaim your brain. Trust me.) In typical ADD fashion, my mind wandered to Graham Parker's White Honey. Parker pays homage to Morrison's style by invoking the blue-e
If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dreams Where the mobile steel rims crack And the ditch and the backroads stop Could you find me Would you kiss my eyes And lay me down In silence easy To be born again Van Morrison My heart of silk is filled with lights, with lost bells, with lilies and bees. I will go very far, farther than those hills, farther than the seas, close to the stars, to beg Christ the Lord to give back the soul I had of old, when I was a child, ripene
I only am what I am. But I sure do like the timbre of John Lee and I wouldn’t mind if I sounded like Leadbelly. Nice piece on happy-go-lucky prankster and Bob Dylan pal (and rabid hater of all things file-sharing!), Norn Iron songster Van da Man talking about his greatest LP, the sublime Astral Weeks which still sounds as fresh today as it did 40 years ago. However, I should not have said "... still sounds as fresh today as it did 40 years ago." I can't say that with certainty since I never
The whole fabric of honey bee society depends on communication~ on an innate ability to send and receive messages, to encode and decode information. ~The Honey Bee~ Bees are a sisterhood of workers,devoted to each other and to the work that is so important to them. Bees have a unique kind of communication called the "Waggle Dance" This type of communication is very sophisticated and unique to the Honey Bee. Sadly something is going on world wide with our bees...they are disappearing and
Terrapin, the newest of Georgia’s 3 breweries, has been a busy bee. Their most recent side project, the Terrapin Gamma Ray, is a honey wheat wine that is simply outstanding. If you haven’t had it yet, see if you can snag one before it’s gone. According to Steve at Terrapin, Basically, its a German style wheat beer on Steroids. Gamma Ray clocks in at 11% abv and is brewed with 700lbs of Tupelo and Sourwood Honey from Savannah Bee Co. This might be the best beer that Spike has ever brewed. I
It might all be eye candy but it’s delicious outside! Yesterday was one of those amazing, quintessentially New England, fall days - cloudless cerulean sky framing the blazing end of the earth’s color spectrum - and I ate it up. As soon as I could, I hightailed it out of the greenhouse (where spray mounted bubble wrap is peeling off the panes like a bad sunburn — we’ve conceded failure, alas) and went for an afternoon photo-op walk in search of some major and minor things worth planting for ex

It is a very strange experience to find that someone whose taste you usually admire likes weird music.Not that the stuff wasn't listenable....some of it...I mean, at least it wasn't 'Madman Across The Water' while you're stuck in an elevator, right...but yeah. I was so puzzled. I ALWAYS like this guys' suggestions. About EVERYTHING.I shot the dude an e-mail accusing him of fucking around.He wasn't."Its difficult! Try it!" he retorted. 'It' being, come up with the names of 100 songs by 100 diff
Or Tupelo Honey? A pox on thee!
It’s fall allergy season again and allergy sufferers everywhere are popping anti-allergy medication.

Van Morrison :: It’s Too Late to Stop Now To understand what makes the live collection It’s Too Late to Stop Now so momentous, its context in Van Morrison’s career must be taken into account. Nowadays Van Morrison conjures up visions of a chubby man in a suit who sits on a stool while on stage, whereas the Van Morrison of 1973 was coming off what may be one of the most-overlooked string of releases from the ’60’s and 70’s. From Astral Weeks, to Moondance, to His Band and the Street Choir, to
Saturday night after the conference came to an end was an awesome night. It started out with CJ, Angel, Terri, and I going to Angel's for a quick bite to eat. Angel was nice enough to cook up some burgers before a night that was sure to be a blast. Thanks for the chow, Angel! The original plan was to hit the Hilton for the Blog World party. We got there right as it was ending, and that was a good thing. We later found out that several MilBloggers were denied entry to the party because they wer
Dusty's version of Tupelo honey it's really rather good
