My favorite tracks with Yucca Rose

EasTeRN NiGhTs: Echoes of the Heart
by AmmaR IbRaHiM

Under the moonlit skies of the East, every heartbeat becomes a melody.
This album is a journey through the emotions that unite us all  love, longing, joy, and silence. Each track blends cinematic soundscapes with the spirit of Sharqi and classical Middle Eastern music, weaving the pulse of ancient nights with the rhythm of today’s soul.

From the shimmering coasts of the Nile to the lantern-lit streets of old cities, EasTeRN NiGhTs: Echoes of the Heart invites listeners to feel the warmth, passion, and nostalgia carried by the wind of Eastern melodies.

Let this music guide you — to remember, to dance, to dream, and to heal.

“License for Anything” brings back the golden age of espionage with bold brass, twangy guitar, and smoky jazz flair. A stylish spy soundtrack full of suspense, groove, and classic cool.

Dark Side Of The Clown

stupid minds club
presents new show 
dark side of the clown
evil wants more
millions of idiots
paid to see
the pure justice
raped by the beast

spell is done
distorting one by one
like Dio said
the Sun is going black
but what does it matter
in the reign of blindness?
brain sucking process
in the develish way to success

The Arrow of Time
June 2020
Duration 2:30
Artwork, title and inspiration: John-Marc Ventimiglia
For strings, woodwinds, piano, celeste, virtual instruments, timpani and percussion 

The "arrow of time" is the concept positing the "one-way direction" or "asymmetry" of time. It was developed in 1927 by the British astrophysicist Arthur Eddington, and is an unsolved general physics question.  The concept of the "arrow of time" says that entropy (a gradual decline into disorder) tends to increase with time and implies that time is asymmetrical and as a system advances through time, it becomes more statistically disordered.  Scientists believe that the "arrow of time" began at the Big Bang and that entropy is increasing as we move forward in time into the future.

Another in my fast growing list of cult leader themed modular jams.  I know his voice is hard to bear, but it's also quite amazing in its surrealism.  I still have to pinch myself every time I realize he's the American president.  Hope you enjoy the jam regardless :)

Jimmy stood upright, stomach sucked slightly concave, lips gently pursed as he admired his full length reflection in the hallway of the Woodlands Hotel. He had treated himself to a new, snug running jersey, matching shorts and trainers. He looked briefly left and right, checking he wasn't observed and adjusted the inner-liner elastic around his groin, which had snagged and ridden up into a pinching diagonal. He dipped into four deep squats, and then shadow boxed in the mirror, finishing a combination with a looping right hook, which overbalanced him slightly and tweaked his ankle. He adjusted the elastic again...front and back this time.

"More comfortable, Sir?"
Jimmy let out a yelp and reddened a little. He turned sharply to see a large, flamboyantly dressed older lady, in a pink and gold lamé shellsuit, a huge meringue of peroxide hair, scarlet-lipped and navy eye-shadowed.

"See ya out there Sonny" she said as she shimmered past and broke into a lumbering trot out of the main entrance and into the woods.

Jimmy set his stopwatch, retied his laces, screwed his earphones into his ears and set off. There was only one route into the woods. Jimmy intended quickly accelerating past Liberace's Mum and running hard in the pure woodland air. He powered through the first 300 yards and saw her vanishing around a bend in the road. She looked rather like an ice cream sundae from behind he though, then told himself not to be unkind and took the opportunity to break wind sharply whilst undetected.

As he leaned into the bend, travelling at impressive velocity, he looked up and she was gone.. he squinted into the distance and saw nothing..another bend maybe 200 yards away.. looked around..nothing.

He glanced at his watch..pulse was high, good pace. Settled into a steady rhythm..gouged again at his elastic. Time to appreciate the air, the pine scent, the peaceful, creaking, whispering trees. The hypnotic percussion of footstrike...Jeez..there she is! Shuffling and galumphing in the distance..how the..?

She disappeared around another bend. Jimmy's knees and elbows pumped higher and harder. Cut into the bend..relieved to see her, drew up alongside her, quietened his breathing a little, touched the peak of his hat as he passed

"Those shorts nipping, Sonny?"

Jimmy muttered to himself, irritated and a little embarrassed. He waited until she was out of sight, double checked and gave a savage yank at the elastic, both hands, at the front.

The next couple of miles were uneventful, save for the frequent need for adjustment and the cumulative effect of the sawing elastic against tender intimates. The last quarter mile and Jimmy discovered that slight bowleggedness gave some relief. A sign for the Hotel..the facade comes into view, then..she's there! Same four-inch lollop, turkey-winged elbows.. How? Impossible! A final, orchid-rasping sprint but he couldn't catch her.

Wheezing like a quarry cat, Jimmy went to the Reception Desk for his room key. The kindly gent, rosy-cheeked and twinkly eyed..like a shaved Santa..

"Nice run Sir?"
Jimmy nodded, too out of puff to answer
"Been out with the triplets, eh?"
Jimmy looked at him, bemused. He was looking into the bar room
Three identical versions each held up a cocktail glass and winked in unison.

Jimmy touched the peak of his hat, and could only smile
He looked back at the Receptionist

"Forgive me Sir, but I think you may have put your shorts on back to front"
Jimmy felt behind him and touched a drawstring.

"Will Sir require some talcum powder?"
Jimmy nodded minutely and took the elevator..the stairs, he was certain, would have drawn blood
