I was over at Alex Laybourne’s blog just now, reading a post about his blog being almost two years old – Happy UnBirthday Alex! – and how much things had changed. That was when it hit me that I’ve been blogging for close to a year now myself.
Just to be sure my memory wasn’t playing tricks on me, I went and looked up my very first post. It was written on December 29th, 2011. It was a rather serious post on Climate Change. I followed that one with another serious post about Bushfires, and yet another post on Climate Change. Apparently my penchant for saving the world is the one thing that has not changed. Instead, I just keep adding to the list of things that make me mad.
I refuse to apologize for being passionate about certain things, but… a balanced outlook is really good for my sanity, and yours, so today it’s time for some jiggle-in-your-seat type music! I can’t take credit for this video clip* – the Daughter inflict-…, I mean introduced me to it on Sunday and I kinda fell in love with it. 🙂
Enjoy!
Meeks
*The artist’s name is Kimbra, she’s a kiwi [i.e. from New Zealand], and the song is called Good Intent.

The Daughter and I went to a 60th b’day party somewhere near Nar Nar Goon on sunday and she brought the whole CD. Almost 4 hour round trip so I got to know it pretty well by the end. There are some other really good tracks on it as well but I don’t know their names.

It feels very retro to me, harking back to those good old days of Fred Astaire. Well…. almost!

What a great video. She’s got a unique look and sound, and the dancers on the street remind me of the old Michael Jackson videos. Thanks for a nice visual and auditory treat. 🙂

Damn, in a previous comment I said the dance reminded me of Fred Astaire. What an idiot. Of course it’s Jacksonesque! Thanks Carrie. I think I just had a senior’s moment.:D
