What you have to say about human beings as sensual beings resonates with me. I'm what most people might call bisexual, but to me it is more about liberating one's desire than it is about fitting into a sexuality label. When the desire is there, when I'm feeling it, the gender or sexuality of a person is just one of the things I enjoy about them and not a reason or requirement. I'm a human being who finds that other human beings are into me and sometimes I'm into them just as passionately! Liberation of desire has always been a framework I have vibed with more than categorizing and fitting into sexuality boxes, personally! This compilation looks incredible by the way, definitely going to pick it up on vinyl!
Another excellent video. I had the double honor of seeing Segovia in 1977 and in 1978, a duet concert featuring Julian Bream and John Williams. The true meaning of Sacred Music. Keep up the good fight, my friend. We are all in this together.
I did the exact same thing - totally purged all politics and news from UA-cam and elsewhere. It’s all engineered to work us up, keep us staggering on our heels against the ropes. There’s so many positive things to focus on that we have actual agency over.
Good morning, Dereck. Wishing you well before I dig through the west coast fog for a mid-morning surf session. My daughter and I found some gorgeous shells yesterday at the beach. I lost them in the sand as we were leaving, but just retraced our steps and found all of them! She was so sad last night about those shells. What a magic start to the day… she will be ecstatic when I return with them today.
Derek I wanted to tell you that that your tunes where you sing are really cool. I think your voice and choice of melody is really interesting. I really like In a Dream State, it's sort of been an earworm, a very welcomed one though. The guitar part and the chord changes are very nice and not predictable which is always a joy as a musician to hear. Tytyty . On a different note , I have a friend I've known for years who had a brain malfunction and voted for Trump. Well now he's found out he has two nephews that are not documented and he's worried their going to be deported when captain blowhard takes the presidency. Can you say buyers remorse!!.
I have some wonderful records by Neville Marriner with the Academy of St Martins-in-the-fields which all have the quality of directness, clarity and authenticity, and are my favourite performances of Mendelsohn 3 & 4, Mozart's Requiem and Beethoven's Concertos, and a few others.
Higgs! Thank you for your channel over the years. I’m grateful for your passion and knowledge of music. What is the brand on the cinnamon nut swirl coffee? I’m trying to drink me some while I watch you each day. PS: hope the Higgins shirts become available again one day. You’ve got a 2XL sold, guaranteed. Cheers.
Dereck, thank you for sharing today as always. I plan to get your latest record, but I want to do it when you get the most of it on Bandcamp Friday. Is one coming up soon?
Mr Higgins what do you think of The Dillinger Escape Plan's Irony is a Dead Scene featuring Mike Patton? And if you haven't heard of that, have you ever heard of Death Grips?
I think this is one of my first comments on your channel but i just want to say, i relate a lot to your commentary, i always find myself completing your sentences and echoing your sentiments... big fan for sure.. greetings from Mexico!
@@dereckvon I just saw those videos, I'm jealous as hell about you meeting TDEP and I saw you have a bunch of Death Grips lps wow lol I did not expect that!!! you're a cool cat, Mr Higgins, excellent taste... I'm an even bigger fan now. your videos are very relaxing by the way, keep up the good work!!!!
Hassell was the man. 🎺

Yes, been a news blackout for me too. Nothing worth reading.
Agree with you on movies too, but I did enjoy the recent Dune movies. Cheers!
You're right. There's something extra special about Segovia.
There isn’t really a bad Jon Hassell record. All of them are incredible. He is the king of ethereal atmosphere creation, in my opinion.

Haha love it! I need to order some more ! 👏 😂
Wow Hassell *and* Morricone in one day 👍
If you like Segovia, I will send you some Pepe Romero , and David Russell records, would be great to hear you talk about them
Thanks but I don't really want any more classical guitar records.

Pears. Unfortunately the person who designed and printed my shirt was the singer in RAF. He committed suicide recently.
I recall you speaking about how Kelly designed the shirt. He did a wonderful job on it. A timeless design. Thank you, Higgs.

Don't worry about the money. Just buy it.
Mr Higgins what do you think of The Dillinger Escape Plan's Irony is a Dead Scene featuring Mike Patton?
And if you haven't heard of that, have you ever heard of Death Grips?
