Podcasts I listen to #5: Headphone Commute

If you have been following this series, you will know that my tastes in podcasts are somewhat eclectic. I like podcasts to amuse me, educate me, and introduce me to new music. The choice today is ‘Headphone Commute‘ which is an irregular podcast (every couple of weeks or so) featuring a mix of music. The music is often ambient in some form. The latest one has myriad beats as well as cool grooves. Recently there was a two part mix of contemporary classical music.

I always hear new things when I listen to these mixes, and the choices are always achingly beautiful. Just the thing for focusing the brain waves to a bit of serious writing, or complete relaxation. Sign up and enjoy.

Writer’s Block

A picture for those times when it’s a struggle to write anything at all:

A walk in the Wirral, near Parkgate, on one of those days when the sky is as beautiful as the landscape.

And a captured memory, because those are the ones that open up the block and create a safe haven to unlock the ideas.

Cloud formations like moments in the head, like the sense of an imagined landscape, long before it all.

Butterflies in the long grass, and a scent of buttercups and daisies. Remember childhood, and the days that stretched like timeless and endless moments imprinted now like something we thought we had forgotten long ago…
