Hey everybody! Besides from all the music, that came into being this year, it wasn't the easiest one for me. However, I'm really looking forward to the next decade, that is about to begin in a few days. :-)
May it be filled with music and, hopefully, with peace..!
But for now: May the last days of 2019 be quiet and joyful for you all!
Thanks for listening and 'hear you all back' next year,
The Spotlight Kid

Part 8: Percival Owl’s Good Fortune (a temporal disruption)
(UPDATE - SWEET FANCY MOSES I UPLOADED THE WRONG EXPORT - FIXED NOW! I'M SORRY FADY!)
Around the time that Henrik and Ferdinand were riding through the forest, Olav looked out the window of Mrs. Busbee’s shop and realized that it was quite dark. He wished Mrs. Busbee a good evening, and walked back across the street to turn off the lights and lock up his shop. He looked at his desk and remembered that he had been interrupted in his installation of a new typewriter ribbon when he heard the commotion across the street. “Might as well finish up before I go home,” he thought, and walked around to his seat. 

He pulled out his chair to sit. “EEP!” Olav jumped back. There, sitting in the chair he had left just a few hours ago, there was a slim, square package. He looked around his shop – he was positive nobody had entered while he was gone. Cautiously, he picked up the package and peeled back the paper sleeve. It was another album, like the one left at Mrs. Busbee’s shop! A small note on the back read, “Recovered from 2006 with love. PS send help – MOD”

Lyrics: 
People will tell you I don't know a thing about birds, but that's just simply not true. 
Birds'll poop on your shoulder, and they'll sneak into your attic,
'cause that's just the kind of thing that birds like to do. 
Birds are deceitful, crafty and mean, basically as bad as common thieves.
One time I loaned a bird my favorite t-shirt, and he ripped a hole in the sleeve.
People will tell you I don't know a thing about birds, but that's just simply not true. 
Birds'll crash your party, and they'll spike your favorite punch, 
'Cause that's just the kind of thing that birds like to do
O, one night I was sleeping peacefully in my bed, when I heard my bird alarm going off, 
so I ran down the stairs and caught a bird in the act of trying to steal my socks. 
ALSO
Birds are terribly two-faced, they just tell you the things they think you want to hear. 
They don't care about being honest.
Birds'll say nice things to your face, but then badmouth you to your friends when you're away. 
IN CONCLUSION:
People will tell you I don't know a thing about birds, but that's just simply not true. 
Birds'll build your hopes up, but then they'll crush your dreams,
'cause that's just the kind of thing that birds like to do.

Are you sure about hitting it with a hammer?

The story section for part 9 is really long and I don't think it will fit here. It's on the bandcamp page as the album description, and it's also on my page with the full story to this point:
https://mayorofdonutville.com/time-machine-chronicles/

#10 will be the final section, and I'll probably release it in a couple of weeks. 

I've been mostly gone from online stuff for about 3 weeks. Work's been slammed and I've been struggling to keep on top, and my eyes are all twitchy and uncomfy when I try to look at screens any time after 5 pm. I hope all of you are well. Seems like things have been in a continual downward spiral, but there are rays of light here and there. 

Oh, while I'm here, a couple of interesting things I observed or learned recently, that may or may not be of interest to you:

1. There's a spider called the "ant spider" that looks and moves like an ant. It pretends its front legs are antenna, and it's kind of adorable. Also terrifying. Very fast. 

2. The black-capped chickadees went away from my back yard. My aunt said they had left her farm too. But then they came back. Or at least two of them did. I'm happy to see them. 

3. The hierarchical division seen in public school and in modern business derives at least partially from the Prussian Army?!

Alright, that's all I have. Stay safe, stay positive, and I'll be back to listen later.

Hey! It's Leighton. This is some music I make. Thanks to the Soundcloud community for the support, and for all the great music. I'm not on here very often and my music making endeavors are extraordinarily scattered, but I still exist. Apologies for not listening more to the wonderful music that you are all kicking out.
