gumby for president

04/01/2015

this large vintage gumby for president button was a promotional item in conjunction with the release of fhe's gumby for president vhs videotape ~

from 1987 ~

i'm also fortunate to have this vintage gumby for president t-shirt from 1983 ~

i'm fortunate because this cool item was generously donated to gumbyland for safekeeping ~

village mews company ~

art clokey ~

& is in fact signed on the back by art clokey back in the 80's when he gave talks around the college circuit in california ~

toxic attended an honors geology course down at lbcc in socal at the time & was heartbroken to realize she'd missed art clokey's talk there, so this item feels like a missing piece.. a lost & found item in spirit ~

thanks again deborah!

cd sunday ~ windham hill

it's cd sunday ~

with some dvds too ~

i've enjoyed windham hill since the old vhs days when i rented & bought their peaceful videos to help calm my anxious brain ~

i even listened to windham hill on cassette in preparation for labor when i was pregnant with my son :D ~

guitar or piano, the nature videos are like guided imageries ~

i especially like the autumn portrait & winter dvds ~

shadowfax, nightnoise & montreaux ~

windham hill encompasses a wealth of artists ~

i love the irish feel of some of these, it makes me feel like i'm riding a horse across the moors.. i guess it's in my blood? lol ~

will ackerman is especially good too ~

if you're not familiar try listening up here at my patchy frog album ~

flashback friday favorite ~ radiohead

i've been thinking how much i would love a new radiohead album just about now, so this flashback friday favorite post is all radiohead, from mother's day 2016..

ok, so today the new & possibly last radiohead album is supposed to drop & i can't think of anything that would make me happier for mother's day! so my focus is all radiohead today, as i've been obsessed with them from the very beginning.. i even have a radiohead themed playroom for goodness sake ~
