Song of the Moment LXV: Them Crooked Vultures’ “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”

I said I would listen to at least one different music artist per week, and last Monday I listened to all of Spice Girls’ studio albums. (Yes, I listen to Spice Girls. Deal with it.) But because January 14 is Dave Grohl’s birthday, I had to set the iconic English girl group aside and listen more to the bands throughout Mr. Grohl’s career – iconic grunge band Nirvana, my favorite band of all time Foo Fighters, and my favorite rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.

As I type this, I’m drinking my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to “Mind Eraser, No Chaser”, the second song from Them Crooked Vultures’ self-titled debut (and only) album and my favorite song from them. Mr. Grohl’s team-up with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin is mind-blowing. I hope they will reunite and make another record.

Belated happiest birthday to Dave Grohl!

10-Minute Warning CVI

I know I said I would publish a birthday post for my no. 1 hero, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, today. But I’m not proud after reading what I wrote for the nth time. And also, I’m mentally unwell once again. I think my recent bout with mental illness may have started when I skipped my meds on New Year’s Eve. (Since 2019, I never skipped my meds. Oops.)

I’m sorry. I hope I will be better on Friday, though I’m not sure if I will publish my letter to Mr. Grohl on that day. Again, I’m sorry.

10-Minute Warning CIV

All right. What can I write here under 10 minutes?

Today I don’t feel like writing about how my day went. But what I can share are my plans for The Diary in the next few weeks.

On January 31, 2024, Wednesday, I will be publishing my post-birthday letter to my ultimate hero, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters. Right now I’m still working on it, and I hope I don’t fuck it up whether my idol reads it or not.

On February 6, 2024, Tuesday, The Diary turns 1 year old! And in celebration of that, I will post the lessons I learned after I blogged regularly for a full year.

And oh! As for the lack of header images on my posts lately, that’s because my software subscription has expired and I honestly cannot afford it for now. I hope to turn things around soon. In the meantime, no header images.

Wish me luck!
