🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE This classic live at the famous concert in Central Park: On this day in 1965, the Simon & Garfunkel single “The Sounds of Silence” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #80 (November 20) This was one of the songs Simon & Garfunkel performed in 1964 when they were starting out and playing the folk clubs in Greenwich Village. It was their first hit. In an interview with Mojo in 2000, Paul Simon acknowledges Bob Dylan’s influence on his writing of the song: “I tried very hard not to be influenced by him, and that was hard. 'The Sound Of Silence', which I wrote when I was 21, I never would have wrote it were it not for Bob Dylan….. he was the first guy to come along in a serious way that wasn't a teen language song.” In an interview with Terry Gross of National Public Radio (NPR), Paul Simon explained how he wrote the song while working at his first job in music: “It was just when I was coming out of college. My job was to take the songs that this huge publishing company owned and go around to record companies and see if any of their artists wanted to record the songs. I worked for them for about six months and never got a song placed, but I did give them a couple of my songs because I felt so guilty about taking their money. Then I got into an argument with them and said, 'Look, I quit, and I'm not giving you my new song.' And the song that I had just written was 'The Sound of Silence.' I thought, 'I'll just publish it myself,' and from that point on I owned my own songs, so that was a lucky argument.” Despite the song being written by Paul Simon, American inventor, author, public servant, and philanthropist Sandy Greenberg said in his memoir that he believes the song reflected the strong bond he had with his college best friend, Art Garfunkel, who adopted the epithet "Darkness" so as to empathise with Greenberg's sudden-onset blindness while in college. The poignant ballad went all the way to #1 in the US, South Africa, and Japan, #2 in New Zealand, #3 in Australia and Austria, #4 in Canada, #9 in Germany, #10 in the Netherlands, and #17 in Spain. Paul Simon recalled the moment when the duo found out they’d topped the US Charts: “I had come back to New York, and I was staying in my old room at my parents' house. Artie was living at his parents' house, too. I remember Artie and I were sitting there in my car one night, parked on a street in Queens, and the announcer [on the radio] said, "Number one, Simon & Garfunkel!” And Artie said to me, "That Simon & Garfunkel, they must be having a great time." Because there we were on a street corner [in my car in] Queens, smoking a joint. We didn't know what to do with ourselves!” #simonandgarfunkel, #soundsofsilence, #thesoundsofsilence, #60smusic, #paulsimon, #artgarfunkel, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday, #soundofsilence, #thesoundofsilence "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- This haunting bronze lies deep in Père-Lachaise, and most people walk right past it without realizing what they’re looking at. It’s the 1877 tomb of Adélaïde Herbemont, sculpted by Léopold Morice and cast by bronzier Henry Dasson, two major names of their time. Instead of angels or symbols, Morice went for something far more intimate: a hooded woman leaning over the deceased, placing a wreath with a tenderness you almost feel in the air. For 19th-century funerary art, this kind of raw, personal scene was unusual - the monument really stands out once you stumble upon it. Division 70, if you want to find it!

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- This Japanese university lets students wear literally anything to graduation... While most Japanese students wear formal suits or traditional hakama kimonos, Kyoto University takes a completely different approach - and the results are absolutely wild. This rebellious tradition dates back to the 1970s when the university was known for student protests and anti-authoritarian attitudes. Only about 10% of students choose to dress up, but they get front-row seats, ensuring their imaginative outfits are seen by everyone. It's like a Mardi Gras parade in the center of Kyoto - where academic achievement meets creative chaos. Now that's what we call graduating in style. #Viral #KyotoUniversity #Japan #Cosplay "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE This week in 1972, the Steely Dan single “Do It Again” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #98 (November 18) The lead single from their debut album “Can't Buy a Thrill” ended up being Steely Dan's second highest-charting single, peaking at #6 in the US and Canada, #10 in the Netherlands, #33 in Germany, and #60 in Australia. The sitar solo was courtesy of the band’s founder Denny Dias, and the organ solo by Donald Fagen was performed on a Yamaha YC-30 combo organ, which was described in the album liner notes as "an inexpensive, imported plastic organ (an instrument which long ago fell into disuse in most rock circles)." David Palmer fronted the band during their live show, and sang "Do It Again" when the group played The Midnight Special in February 1973. Donald Fagen sang the vocal on the album version. #steelydan, #doitagain, #cantbuyathrill, #WalterBecker, #donaldfagen, #dennydias, #70smusic, #yachtrock, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️
