For my August 1 Battle of the Bands, I chose another Clash song, "Train In Vain", as covered by Annie Lennox and Dwight Yoakam.

This should come as absolutely no surprise, but the prompt I chose for this week's Mama Kat's Pretty Much World Famous Writer's Workshop is "Write a blog post inspired by the word: vintage.".
Summer is winding down, so it's time for a late escape to the islands. This week's Monday's Music Moves Me theme comes to us from Stacy of Stacy Uncorked: Songs about islands or an island theme.
My apologies for Thursday's post showing up on Sunday. It's been a pretty hectic past two weeks, which shows no sign of letting up soon.
July is typically not a good month for me, mental health-wise. It never has been. And while some years are better than others and nearly all years have come with wonderful things happening in July, I always seem to be in varying stages of exhaustion and general dysfunction. Thankfully, this has been a mild one thus far, despite being quite challenging.
August is here, and that not only means that summer would normally be winding down for school kids and that we're now nearly halfway through the calendar summer and inching towards autumn, but the first means it's time for another Battle of the Bands!
I had a lot going on this week, and finally had to go to the doctor to take care of some persistent discomfort. But hopefully I'm on the mend now. I dropped the ball on visiting and voting in a few battles and responding to comments on my own. Even my results post is running a few days behind! But here it is, finally.
We are currently entering the New Moon phase, and the theme for this week's Monday's Music Moves Me is "Songs about, or mentioning, the Moon."
One of the themes for this week's Mama Kat's Pretty Much World Famous Writer's Workshop was so timely, and while certainly not specific to me, is indeed perfect for me: "List the top 5 musicians you would see in concert."
Surprise! It's almost a day late!
The prompt I chose for this week's Mama Kat's Pretty Much World Famous Writer's Workshop "Share the most recent image you published on Facebook or Instagram and give us the back story."
It literally just started, but feels like it's been ten days long already.
The 4th nearly wiped us out, as the dogs are not fond of fireworks. Poor babies :(
I was so exhausted Sunday that I didn't finish my Music Monday post. And on Monday I was even more exhausted, so I just decided to opt out for this week.
