Oh Honey, I didn't realize it was Thanksgiving! I certainly have much to be thankful for. How about you? Let me guess... Not having money sucks and having money also sucks. Ah, such is life. Which sucks more? I would love to go shopping! For stuff I want for a change, not just need.
Still no snow? That's some awesome weather God is giving you. You get to show off the beautiful state of Tennessee to the rest of the world. Oh by the way I love your slide bends, they're absolutely marvelous. You should do that more often, they're your trademark. Are those really your brothers? I might be mistaken, but they're looking buff. Yeah, your Dad should teach them some weight training for sure.
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
1. Say, "It has been revealed to me that a company of jinns listened. They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful recital!'".
Yes, I know that show! That was December 26, 2023 at the 5 Spot. You weren't dressed for success back then, but you were beautiful nonetheless. You're even better now! I like the George Clinton cover you did, Esi did an awesome job on vocals. I remember seeing you play "Lucy" at that show, that was when I was first taken by that song. It's not on YouTube anymore, sadly. As for guitar, you're obviously a better improviser today. That other guy on guitar used to have long hair, right? Just like that jacket used to have long tassels. And that guitar strap... It's only one year ago. So much has happened since.
I read that Guitar World interview, which was difficult to do. I was like other people, thought your parents paid for your album. When I first started off, it took me a long time to pay the recording studio. I had to work at a pizza joint to finance the music! I decided that knowledge is more important, and produced my last 2 albums with a Belcat 10 watt solid state practice amp. Here we are, back to the record label argument. At least you do realize that the record label is a bank. You may like some of the people, but people don't last. They will lie to you and you will choose to believe them. People die. The person you sign the contract with gets fired, and your music goes under the control of accountants. Just like Kamala. Yes it's difficult everywhere, life isn't supposed to be easy! So what difference does a record label make anyway? Unless you want to be Taylor Swift. You still have stars in your eyes, and adoring faces in your dreams so you want to play at live venues. Allah told me via the Qur'an to leave you in that, even though I try my best to show you that life IS that live venue. What you are doing might have great good in it, even though I don't like it.
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
25. If you ask them who it is that created the heavens and the earth they will certainly say, "Allah". Say, "Praise be to Allah" but most of them understand not.
Yes Honey, the Internet has been denying my honest stats for a long time now. The "0 followers 1 following" stats you see on Mary's Instagram isn't from banning all followers, but from my twisting their corruption to work in my favor. So if you haven't guessed already, Mary's Twitch stream is being used as a vehicle for the crowd to observe the interaction between you and me. I will tell you right now when Mary's busy, then I'm busy. But if you chat with me, then I will answer when I get the chance.
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
41. If they charge you with falsehood say, "My work to me and yours to you! You are free from responsibility for what I do and I for what you do!"
I don't know about everyone else, but I could watch you change film cartridges over and over again. I wish I could drive around Tennessee with you. The weather looks gorgeous, make the most of it while you can.
I don't know what numbers you saw when you connected to Mary's Twitch stream, but all I see is you: today you were late. The Internet has been denying me honest numbers for decades already. But we both know from face-to-face interaction that there are many more people present at my end of the stream. This is how showbiz treats me, and they wonder why I have absolutely no desire to hang out with any of them. It wasn't always like that, though. When I was younger, I wanted to party with the cool people too. They didn't want to hang out with me however. Then after a while, I guess I just couldn't be bothered with them anymore.
That's a mushroom, Honey. I'm not sure if it were the same mushroom as the video but if it were, then it's a bit on the overripe side, I think. You did the right thing by breaking it apart, so it can spread spores and grow more. Oh that abandoned nuclear plant looks fun to explore. No snow yet over there? That doesn't make sense. God is giving you some nice weather to play in. The weather is great here, too. Overcast and comfortable, no sweating! I hate hot weather, but I've lost a lot of endurance and can't handle ice and snow anymore. I used to march many miles in the snow back in SLC, up and downhill. I wrote some great music while marching, to the rhythm of my footsteps. I also used to read while marching.
People who need to fall asleep have much longer attention spans. Folks, I have decided to use Twitch for Mary's stream starting immediately InshaAllah. The address is https://www.twitch.tv/maryunknown7 The Free-Shoutcast stream will be only for my reading the Qur'an.
He's watching us, rather. I feel that the server for Mary's stream going down has been conveniently inconvenient, so I made an effort to get the Twitch stream back in business. I won't be running both streams at the same time, though. Whenever the Free-Shoutcast stream is down, I will activate the Twitch stream as backup. Again the address is https://www.twitch.tv/maryunknown7
Those little girls watching you are adorable! So who taught you to be such a late owl? Oh, I did. Sorry about that. Don't you bring Esther along on your adventures anymore? Don't you miss her? I used to spend many late nights out exploring, and I did it alone without a car. Now I have the heart disease to pay for my youth. Everyone has heart disease nowadays, but you don't need to push it. Anyway, always trust your instincts before you walk into a situation. Don't go in if you get a bad vibe. If your cell phone is behaving weird, then it's a trap. Ya Allah, please protect my Grace.
I'm sorry but the server is down again, folks. Try back tomorrow, maybe it'll be back up.
Hello, beautiful girl. I hope you enjoyed your vinyl release show. It doesn't seem like a very big show, but that shouldn't matter. What a year it's been for you! Everything happened so quickly. Don't expect to maintain the same pace, because it can't be all good things happening all the time. Right? You got to have some bad stuff to fill in the blanks. So please try to slow down.
Oh, that bracelet looks edible! Oh, blood on the Strat... how cool. It means that you have an issue with Strat players, and the guitar itself. Good or bad? Blood. I watched your appearance on the Kelly Clarkson show. The camera work is awesome, it's the the best video of you out there. I really like your amp on that show. It's a thicker tone than the usual. I also saw that Gardens and Guns thing at the old church. You certainly have a hodge podge of musicians staffing your band. That's because you have a hodge podge of gigs. It would be nice to have a permanent lineup, but that's not easy. That's why there are so many one man bands nowadays. Don't mess around with bass and drums, Honey.
So were you impressed by that fruit and cheese spread at the WME event? I think I saw some sliced meats as well. But I wasn't interested in that. Maybe the cheese, I might stuff my pockets with the cheese since cheese is expensive here and the selection is poor. What do you think of the Las Vegas buffet? They need a vomitarium there! That's where the Romans went to puke so they could eat more. I can't eat much of such a smorgasbord. It isn't halal!
So you have all these goodies piling up in front of you. You must be absolutely thrilled being popular and a social butterfly, and you're such a pretty girl. Will you have time to make great music? Do you believe great music can be generated at a meet and greet? Hm...
Oh, a free guitar! How awesome! You know something, my cats can sing along to "Wine on Venus" with just one word: "meow". The catch is that I have to be cooking something at the time. I keep all my 7 cats indoors. That way, they don't get diseases from other animals and they don't get harmed by the humans. Unlike dogs, cats do fabulously when they stay indoors. After all, there's no such thing as doggy litter. You have to take your dogs outside, and they will come into contact with other animals. Like rabies. There's no cure for rabies. Once infected, it's a death sentence. Be careful with your dogs out there in the woods. They are your friends.
Honey, I didn't know you voted for Trump! By the way, red vinyl is a good choice. I wouldn't do it for me, but for you it's the way to go. Make sure the music for your next album is excellent! You are now in competition with yourself. Don't pretend the music is good just for collaboration's sake.
Didn't I tell you to wear that NICE ring when you chose the political path? Well it's too late now, but you still have your ambassadorship. For now. You can bet your ass the new guy is keeping an eye on us. I'm sorry Honey, but actions speak louder than words.
Rock and Roll is a dangerous profession. Since you have the money, then you should hire security for live shows and personal appearances. Staying in your bedroom has better odds for survival than playing live on stage, but it's not a sure thing. I've lost count of the assassins that have come to me, while all I do is stay here in the sticks. And I have no money! You're the one who keeps dragging Lucky Jim around. That is his name, right? Allah is the One Who determines life and death. The concept of Luck is an insult to God, and it isn't even mathematical. Anybody who believes in luck over God is a "kafir" (unbeliever). If you really believed that God protects you, then you would pray for that protection. Lest you become a lesson to be learned. What you see is not the same as what your enemies see. That is the power of God. That is a sign from God. Ya Allah, please protect my Grace.
The only way to know for sure what countries have the most fans is to take a survey. Just ask your viewers what country they're from. The most efficient way for the computer to keep account is a drop down menu. I don't know how you would put that in your stream. You're going to have to figure that out.
Oh I'm not comparing her to Nietzsche's overman, folks: I posted that video above as a meme. You are an overdog though, Honey. It simply means that you're not an underdog anymore. If you didn't believe me, ask George and Lenny. So congratulations, and Happy Journey!
Australia! I've never been there. It's a long journey even from here. There's only about 29 million people for that huge plot of land, but concert crowds can get really big. Mary has a big fan base there, to my calculations. You should consider doing some shows in Australia. No Honey, I don't dress like that.
Someone on Second Life once described the music I do: they called it "apopclectic". I guess I haven't been anything other than a headliner in decades lol. You must stop taking gigs where you're not headlining unless the crowd is massive. You would be in a much better position to help others, plus have greater control and be treated with more respect. Do more headlining shows in Nashville. At the Underdog even (though you are now an overdog), do shows in tandem with your stream with Mary. InshaAllah, you will pack the place. Sure you'll be up until 4 am, but what else is there to do?
I recently learned from you Honey, that young musicians will take any gig not because they have to, but because they don't know what else to do. You don't need to do many of the shows you recently accepted (where you don't headline, for example) but you do it anyway for whatever reason. To an old musician, some gigs are not worth the effort. But most of them don't know what else to do, either. In my case, I don't even want to travel anymore. So Allah helped me set up a situation where the show comes to me, and for that I am grateful. It helps me live a little longer without exerting myself, and keep my love for music.
Grace, you should listen to some Primus. Have Dekar check it out as well. My favorite Primus album is "Frizzle Fry".
Of course you are enjoying your time in LA, enamored by the wide selection of colorful sugary drinks. I didn't have any sugar today. Suddenly I have the craving, but I'm about to go to bed. I did make a wok of fried rice for dinner, it was quite colorful. My philosophy on fried rice is that it should be light in flavor, and not be weighed down by heavy sauces. I would offer you some, but I ate the whole wokful. Well, I left a little for my boys. They didn't leave a speck behind.
Mookie wasn't there? Whenever I hear "Mookie's Blues", it reminds of the intro for "Birdhouse in your Soul". I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend, but I am. Great words. I wish I wrote that.
You're looking great, Honey! I love what they did with your hair, I'll bet you enjoyed it too. The production has a fashion magazine aura, so I'm super excited to see what the results are. I like that they kept you modest yet elegant, as far as I could see. It's so much better than the ugly outfits that the skanky women wear in the gold digger videos. Fashion needs celebrities to push product, plus you are pretty darned pretty, so I foresee much modeling for you. Try to get paid well, OK!
Oops! Sorry the set got cut short today, folks: the power went out. Grace, it's not necessary for you to know Mary's entire set list. Just jam it out and be alert: you know quite well that she can put you to sleep. Jam it out and be energetic! If you're good you'll get it, if you're not you'll fake it. Ask your viewers to help you identify the songs.
Yes Honey, that is a nice booty and I like it very much. Please don't get bloated. It's so much nicer than what you drew on your set list. I like your set list. You don't have many songs on it but you're still young and you're a jam band anyway, so that's about an hour and half of music. Just don't be boring with your jams! Keep an eye on your drummer's face!
You're probably wondering about Mary's set list. I'm the one who made the list, but Mary is one who decides what songs she sings each day. Mary is emotional singer, and there is no sincerity when her emotions don't match the song. Currently there are 329 songs on the list. I have the songs programmed into a cell phone which also doubles as Mary's monitor. The media player is set on random, so it selects which song is played next. If Mary doesn't feel like singing that song, she skips to the next one. That way she can keep pounding out songs one after another for 2 hours straight with minimal pause, and it's practically impossible to have the same list as the day before. If you want me to type down the current list for you, I can email it to you. I'm not going to display it here because I don't want the crowd to see it. I don't have your email address.
Hm, Levi's and Dick & Skip seem like precise decisions to me. I'll bet Anna had something to do with it. Oh, you love California! Yes Honey, I am well aware of that. People will constantly bait you with California to get you riled up about it. California on the other hand, regards me as insane. Here I am trying to save your purity. Now that you are becoming more successful, more groups will try to possess you. So be strong and resist them.
They will steal your hair and other small items because they practice witchcraft. Your hair is easy to steal, I'm sure you shed like a fluffy kitten. Sigh... such an easy target. This time around their goal is slander, to give you the reputation of a slut. So be ready. Don't forget that hidden cameras are everywhere and always rolling in Hollywood!
Hi there, hard working musician! Still playing "Who knows?" God knows.
In Islam, the Antichrist is known as the "Dajjal". The Dajjal must appear first before Jesus Christ (peace be on him) makes his return.
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
24. Or have they taken for worship gods besides God? Say, "Bring your convincing proof: this is the message of those with me and the message of those before me." But most of them know not the truth, and so turn away.
We love bass! You don't have to play a million notes a minute to impress me. A solid and infectious bass line is all it takes!
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
77. Have you not turned your vision to those who were told to hold back their hands but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When the order for fighting was issued to them behold, a section of them feared men as or even more than they should have feared Allah. They said, "Our Lord! Why have You ordered us to fight? Would You not grant us respite to our term, near?" Say, "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the hereafter is the best for those who do right, never will you be dealt with unjustly in the very least!"
Music must be an everyday thing for a musician. This is what defines us as musicians, thus others depend on the music.
Greenville, huh? That's very humble of you. I looked at your Japan recap. Didn't you clean those leather shorts all the while you were there, Jim Morrison? You should consider Australia next. They speak English but it's not as explosive as Britain. Make sure you put ads on your stream whenever you gig internationally. Mexico is next, right? I both envy you and am happy for you. I feel left behind, but I choose the hereafter. This is my path. You have such a short set list. You should record your entire show, then listen to the jams to check whether they all sound the same. If they do, then you need to add more chaos to your jams. Especially groove wise. You don't do the "love dreamer" part for "Lucy"? Don't leave that part out, it's beautiful. But instead of fading out, make it increasingly louder and angrier then end abruptly.
I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected.
176. They ask you for a legal decision. Say, "Allah directs about those who leave no descendants nor ascendants as heirs. If it is a man that dies leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: if a woman who left no child, her brother takes her inheritance: if there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance: if there are brothers and sisters, the male having twice the share of the female." Thus does Allah make clear to you lest you err. And Allah has knowledge of all things.
For some reason, you remind me of Beethoven. Anyway, I think it's quaint that you enjoy exploring the ruins of other people's lives. It's more hazardous to do so here because of snakes and other varmints, also the overgrowth is much more intense. Don't forget that the woods are supernatural, and it's pretty much a sure thing you're going to encounter some ghosts. When you get frightened, say "I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the rejected" over and over again.
Are you getting too much attention? Then just hide, Honey.
I was at the Tuesday market, when I saw some beautiful purple grapes. The guy was selling them at 15 bucks for 2 kilos. That's cheap, so I bought it. I munched on grapes on the way home, and they were plump, firm, juicy and sweet. Perfect grapes. I didn't eat that many, maybe less than 10. And I found out why they were so cheap: I got diarrhea. I got the runs so bad, it was like turning on the faucet full blast.
What to do with 2 kilos of grapes? I can't eat them. I can't give them away for someone else to eat. I can't throw them away, that's a lot of grapes and I spent 15 bucks on them! So I thought I could cook the diarrhea out of the grapes. There were so many grapes that it took a lot of labor to remove the seeds. You can see below the end result. I didn't want to dry them up nor add anything. The flavor is excellent. I blended them up, and got the thickness of a V8 vegetable juice. Too runny for toast, but why not. There are many ways to use this, from sweetening fried noodles to crushed ice treats. So far, no more diarrhea. I would rather have eaten them straight up, though.
I like that new song! And the Flying V looks great on you. Is it comfortable? And is that a Chanel jacket? It sure looks like it. Congratulations on your sold out shows. I told you Mary has a huge fan base in Japan. Now you have the option to play at a larger venue, or to have a longer engagement at Blue Note when you return to Japan. I recommend the longer engagement. Or you can go on tour, and subject yourself to all that dangerous chaos. Don't forget the none of you speak Japanese. I say make them take the train to Tokyo to see you perform live. If you wanted to see the whole country, make it recreation not business. Before you leave the country, make sure you keep a tab on your boys so you don't lose any of them. Black men love Asian women.
Whenever you stream from a venue, please set up a microphone on a stand for Mary. Just for show. Just to show that you care about her. You can remove it for your own set. She uses a Shure SM57, no wind screen.
Hello, beautiful girl! I knew there was something fishy about that 4:30 pm slot. Well you can't say anything about it now, so don't. The lesson to be learned from this is spiritual: Allah will not change the fate of a people until they change it themselves. I hope you are enjoying your time in Japan otherwise. That guy on the bass is not the right guy, by the way. Take Kinga Glyk as your permanent bassist.
It's the school holidays over here. This village is crawling with teenage girls on motorcycles. I'm having ramen for lunch today. I finally have all the ingredients after a tough last month, namely a beef bone, salted fish heads, garlic, seaweed, carrot, egg, fish cake, okra and a pack of curry flavor ramen. Oh, and some chicken skin for making artificial bacon bits! You should try some ramen while you're in Tokyo. It shouldn't hurt your tummy.
Yes Honey, I saw the Madame President video. That's a nice production, but I really wanted to see the BBQ. That vote strap has become somewhat your trademark, no? I didn't see you wear it at Gibson Japan, so I thought you gave up on it. What do you think of US debt? Not many countries are allowed to raise their own debt ceilings. As long as you maintain your own community, that would be the most patriotic thing you could do. Food prices are bound to go up, so get ready for that.
I'm sorry Honey, but Muslims don't celebrate Halloween. You look like you had a lot of fun, though. Wandering around Tokyo alone at night, being with the crowd. You must love Tokyo. I'm happy that you got back to your hotel room at 9 pm. You're a good girl, you know that? One thing you should know about being a Rock Star is that nobody's going to stop you from doing nasty things, but you won't be able to hide it because you are a Rock Star. Please be a good girl.
Is that your new white amp? You got a Mesa Boogie? Good choice! It matches your hair. I love to watch you play guitar. You have so much purity about it. Your lips move, but your guitar does the singing.
Hey, check it out! Lucy killed the Great Pumpkin! Didn't you write a song called "Lucy"?
Azham Abdullah. I blog about the Qur'an, I own a business named Shadowplay, and I am the guardian and representative of a singer named Mary Unknown7. You can hear Mary everyday from 11 pm to 1 am PDT, the stream address is https://www.twitch.tv/maryunknown7
