Alien’s Log #4: on Ottawa bluesfest and the olympians, my drawings

 Hello this is the alien speaking 



Hello there today we are talking about the Olympians and there music!   I started to listen to their music when I also started to listen to the 40 minutes of funk podcast, though this was the first time for both, I was listening to the 40 minutes with Micheal B when I wanted to learn more about a favourite band (no not the insane clown posse I mean ‘here come the mummies’). And I was also directed to the Olympians after listening about the mummies.   As you might now that the mummies are coming to Ottawa Bluesfest this year in July so I like to learn about then history of the band (what I am an intellectual so I love learning) and I came across the Olympians episode and holy shit!  This is quality music!    It is disco funk music though I used to listen to this type of music as a  little kid other then the insane clown posse, i listened to funk.  And let me tell you this is rather reminding me of the good old days were I would travel with my parents and listen to disco at the resort!  That being said I love this groovy funk music the best.   Now I was suffering from a bout of insomnia when I heard ‘strawberry kiwi’ and some other songs on 40 Minutes of funk podcast and I was able to time travel back to the good parts of my childhood!   And when it was time  to go to bed I started to listen to ‘strawberry kiwi’ and then it happened, I relaxed so much that i feel into a deep sleep that was restful though the next day I started to feel the after effects of the sleep deprivation.     But I listened to the Olympians again last night and I must say that I am kitten today and not aggro at all!

That being said they release their music in 10 year increments which is rather annoying though I would not want to disappoint fans with crappy thoughtless music that some people love to pump out though they take a hot minute to release their music it is well worth the wait!   I never heard such great instrumentals since classical music in elementary school, though I never really loved classical music, though I love funk music (disco, etc) and it’s detail that people put in for the tunes you would listen to.   They are actually a good band and I would literally recommend the Olympians to anyone who would actually listen to the band and my ramblings!

In search of a revival was just released this year, and I must say the sound is rather revolutionary and great to hear, which is ironic as this is the year of the fire horse which means revolutionary stuff happens!   Though most of their songs revolve around Greek mythology and roman mythology it is rather weath listening to and even learning about the myths too!   Though there last album was released on 2016, do you see a funky trend here?   I think if you want quality music that is the Olympians then you music wait for the great stuff!

Personally I can’t wait to see if they will come to the Ottawa Bluesfest one year!  That being said  would you want to hear them at Bluesfest too?  Just think about it! Also the music reminds me of a pre-9/11 airport, the kind I was growing up with, this music really reminds me of a lost time.  Thank you you bringing me back to the positive parts of my childhood Toby and the Olympians! Again, mahadsanid!



Also this years Ottawa Bluesfest has an amazing line up this year!   I am particularly going to see Limp Bizkit, Gwen Stefani and Here come the mummies!  That being said the impact these bands and artists had on me was phenomenal.   

Limp bizkit, the first on the 10th of July, has made me think that there are people think the same way I do at times, and when you are a teenager and young adult this is very vital for helping with emotions.  Though I started to here the language in hotdog flavoured water that being said I knew that by metal was a great genre second to Opera (to most people) though the language is foul and colourful I can tattoo listening to the music as this still as an impact on my day from time to time.   That being said I started to  started to listen to Fred and the band when I was 11 years old.  Just when things were starting to take a nose dive eventually!    This band was one of many that helped me because they helped with affirming that other people are similar to me!  

Now Gwen Stefani she was there with no Doubt at the time and this was when I started to fall into PTSD with symptoms and being bullying (which added to my trauma) though her music  like Sean Paul’s was a great escape from the brutal reality that I had to face in school.  I found her voice was rather re-assuring and upbeat!  I can’t say very much but I was able to stay alive during the ages of 12- 15 when listening to her music!  And I was able to cope better the next day with the situation from listening to her music the day of the bad day!

Also I would say similar to the mummies though I started to listen to them when I was a young adult!  I was more else safe from all other form of trauma at this point and I just enjoyed their music as it was!  


 
After hearing about the ‘here come the mummies’ coming to Ottawa Bluesfest I was more then hyper and rather excited!  It felt like  I had a drink of coffee yesterday and had a hell of a time sleeping !  That be if  it was close between them and the artist Gwen Stefani!   Though I rather the unconventional stuff over the neuronormative crap like Gwen Stefani.  That being I wanted to learn more about the people who I am about to see on stage!



Current members of the band are: Mummy Cass – Guitar, Lead vocalsEddie Mummy – Drums, VocalsSpazzy Mummy (Spaz) – Keyboards, Vocals.



The story behind the band is this …..  The band's story is just as unconventional as they are: A professor named Nigel Dumblucke unearthed a cursed group of mummies from an ancient discotheque in 1922





Though they are an american funk rock band!  I have been listening to the since the mid 2010s when I was still with my parents!  That being said there songs include the songs like: freak flag and pants as well as dirty minds!  That is just a few to name  with regards to the songs!   Though I was recommended the band when I was about 22 years old this was a rather difficult time in it on it own!  I had lost my grand parents and I was wallowing in self pity that being said it was there songs that help me get out of my funk!   That Being said I rather look at the fun and weird things that come instead of the normal things like Gwen Stefani!


Though I have been listening to Gwen since age 13 that was a horrible time in my life!   And I rather not remember the really official times!  Though I can t remember the source of the recommendation, was it a friend or a my space post I can’t really remember but mall I remember is the songs and how fun and funky they are!   I find that them coming to Ottawa bluesfest was rather hyper active inducing for me as I listen to them since for a long time!







Also I started to draw again!   That being said  I started to draw again though I thought about different things!  I don’t have very much to say about this I hope to draw other things and people soon!
