A recent interview with Josh Homme, of Queens of the Stone Age, on GQ Mexico lead me to write a post for The Listening Room HQ on leaving behind what no longer serves, staying present in the pause, and noticing when the old life ends and the next step arrives. It can be read here: here.
American classic and electric guitarist, and composer Liz Hogg kindly did a beautiful acoustic three songs live session for Mondo Bizarre Magazine.
The three songs, from her album Goodbye World Hello Something, are On Paper, Belly and One Thread.

Good morning with Danny by Ye Vagabonds. Have a nice weekend.
Full Moon in Leo – February 1, 2026 on The Polymath site speaks of presence, coherence, and embodied orientation. Maps & Readings as instruments of field awareness, luminous without performance. It can be read here.
Good morning. Today, our Middle of the Week Song is Éme e Moxila’ Estocolmo 1984, their 2023 song about Portuguese long distance runner Fernando Mamede, and his win in the 10 000 meters, in Stockholm, in 1984.
Fernando Mamede died yesterday at 74. Along with his club rival Carlos Lopes (both run for Sporting Clube de Portugal), he was part of mine adolescence, as well as a familiar track and field runner for millions of Portuguese.
A brilliant runner – he held the 10 000 metres world record (1984-1989) – it was hard for him to win major competition, because he didn’t do well under pressure.
Éme e Moxila’ Estocolmo 1984 tells the story of how Fernando Mamede won the 10 000 in Stockholm, in 1984, ahead of Carlos Lopes, that got second place. That day, Fernando Mamede become a world winner in athletics, a first for Portuguese athletics.
