  • Around the World

    So I try to learn something new every day, what i learned a while ago but stuck with me, probably because it was a fun fact.

    The song around the world by Daft Punk says “around the world” a total of 144 times!

    So that brings me to the two types of memory we have; so it’s episodic & semantic memories. The semantic memory is it tends to be facts, I guess more like facts, then episodic memory is how you feel about something. I guess it comes from the word “episode” because, what I believe, an episodic memory is remembering how someone felt, looked like, sounded like I guess to a less extent how it tasted & smelled.

  • Fermatashe

    I was searching for French & Saunders & came to a stand up thing of Dawn French called “Dawn French: 30 million minutes”.

    It starts off by saying that she needs a fermatashe in her life. She then describes what a fermatashe is. In the music industry, a fermata is a pause, but in unknown lengths. Kind of like a break. She says that what she needs is a fermata in her life.

    This fermatashe is a time where she can do what she needs to get done, both important & unimportant. In this fermata she talks about how her life would pan out in this fermata. All the mischief she’d get up to. In this reality she says that she’ll whisper all the details about her mischief in her girlfriend’s (or boyfriends) ear.

    When they come out of the fermatar reality the girlfriend knows these details that Dawns whispered in their ear, they don’t know how they knows it, they just know. I get this so much now. Knowing something, just not knowing how or why I know it, but I feel that it’s maybe something I learned in my past life.

    Im pretty sure that that show will in spirit future blog posts. It is on Netflix.

  • Meet the Old/New Leuty

    There are a lot of things I have noticed that the new Leuty likes which I imagine the old Leuty liked I kind of think that is what the “original” Leuty like. Things that are quite multisensory like certain perfumes, food, music, films & programs. There are things that I know that the “old Leuty” liked which I expect the “original Leuty” will too. Just trying to submerge myself in these things.

    So in attempt to advertise & I hope you’ll try them too, here’s a multisensory experience of what I’m trying to immerse myself in, attempting to get the original Leuty back.

    I really like interesting perfumes, an example which comes to mind for something quite avant- guard is gengermbre by
    Diptyque, & acqua di parma. But the original Leuty skills like Prada Amber Eau de Parfum. An additional note, the sense no of smell is directly linked to your memory. This part of the brain is called olfactory senses, your nose is just below your brain.

    Right now I really like seafood, particularly shellfish. I’ve always had a penchant for coffee, I’m addicted to my Nespresso machine.

    I currently like a bunch of genres music wise. I tend to stay away from rap & hiphop, for no particular reason I do like the planets suit by Gustav Holst & the strokes, born ruffians & kygo. So a big range, you should check them out & see if we’d get along.

    For films I have kept a lot of my old DVDs, CDs & books so I guess I can re-discover them. I’ve already mentioned that I fall in love with certain films, books & music. I hate to jump on the bandwagon but I find myself paying a lot of attention to Netflix right now.

    I have always wanted the Simpson’s on channel 4 at 6pm, & that I have taken from childhood as a routine. More recently I’ve lived things that seem to reach me, things like QI, documentaries, David Attenborough, Louis Thorough , the list goes on & on.

  • 15/5 – A Clockwork Orange

    This song reminds me of a clockwork orange;

    The scheme which it features in is probably my favourite. Listen !

  • 17/5 – School of Rock

    I finished the School of Rock receiving & it truly made me smile. It’s a real feel good movie & has some really rad music in it too. The story goes like this…

    The protagonist stars Dewey Finn (Jack Black) who is a struggling guitarist. Initially there’s a scene where he’s playing a concert, which turns out he’s doing a ‘Battle of the Bands’ gig. He tries to crowd surf but they all depart & he falls on the floor.

    Next, it flicks to a scene where he’s asleep & his flat mate, Ned is arguably with his girlfriend about Dewey.

    I have a very music brain anyway, so learning is what they do in school,& & rock is a form of music, so it’s a match made in heaven.

    It expands to them arguing about Dewey & his lack of playing the rent. Being just a guitarist for a band won’t pay for thei flat rent.

    He then receives a call, meant for his flat mate (Ned), about their need for a substitute teacher (Ned is a substitute teacher). He pretends to be Ned Schneebly, (his flatmate) accepting the position.

    He teaches his students & sees some potential, so he follows his passion & teaches them rock & roll.

    Dewey then forms a band of fifth-graders, and attempts to win battle of the bands.

    It really made me appreciate rock & the education system too.

    It’s on Netflix Woohoo! Hoping you like it as much as I did.

  • 6/3/2021 – Music #2

    Yesterday I heard some rap music which made me really appreciate rap. It really was poetry with music.

    The Balinese really do favour the creative jobs. The musicians & artists (of which I don’t even mention) are really praised. Their culture really revolves around religion.

    Still on the subject of music, but a very different type is that I watched a David Attenborough episode which is called “the Miracle of Bali” & the episode is “the Midday Sun”.

    Because they sit opposite each other they literally play it backwards.

    Very much different from our culture where money is at the centre of everything we do.

    Forgot the pun but watching this really made me see art in a different way.

    The monks are sitting opposite each other with the musical instruments like a xylophone

  • 25/2 – music

    Particular songs remind me of my old life. I have a very musical brain, particularly for someone who doesn’t work in an audio field. I say things like “the crab smells loud”. Using the word “loud” evokes that your ears are affiliated but it’s physically impossible for something to smell loud, what I really meant was that the crab is very pungent.

    I have no favourite band but I have been encouraged to dance, because I find it very difficult to walk. So I do dance, telling myself it’s working towards me walking. It has been suggested that I make a “make Leuty dance” playlist. Even though I don’t have a particular favourite band this playlist will definitely involve Chic.

    It is very interesting what dancing does to your brain. Not only does it private physical exercise but it gives you something new to learn.
