Basia Bulat - Basia's Palace (coke bottle green LP)Let's get one thing out of the way: Basia Bulat doesn't live in a chteau. The property at the heart of the songwriter's new studio album is at once her apartment, her jam space, and the inside of her head.

Let's get one thing out of the way: Basia Bulat doesn't live in a château. The property at the heart of the songwriter's new studio album is at once her apartment, her jam-space, and the inside of her head. Basia's Palace is a place festooned with love and memory, and bad wiring; it's a paradise that comes alive in the wee hours of the night-a time that's suited to video games and Leonard Cohen records, when you sit in all that richness and take in all the mess we inherit. Basia's Palace got its start in 2022. A new home, a new family, a pause: the singer was finally finding time to hear her own thoughts, to think about old stories, to boot up her Nintendo to play Dragon Warrior 4. It brought to mind anecdotes Bulat had heard about Cohen_how he used to do his best writing at three or four a.m., before his kids woke up, when he'd sit and toy with his Casio's presets. Now it was Bulat sneaking down to play RPGs or to make music on her MacBook, listening for the spirit-world at a time when the veil felt thinnest. The songs she was creating didn't feel like anything she had recorded before_MIDI soundscapes that floated and gleamed, like hidden levels above (or below) the action. The album that emerged from all this_that started in dawn-kissed synth instrumentals, lyrics scribbled down in a Hayao Miyazaki notebook_is the softest and most searching of her career. Co-produced by frequent collaborator Mark Lawson (who worked with her on Tall Tall Shadow and The Garden), and mixed by legendary engineer Tucker Martine (Beth Orton, Neko Case, The National), Basia's Palace is like a time-travel score, with Bulat akin to Chrono Trigger's intrepid adventurer, going back into the past to shape the events of the future. After years of releasing records where live performance came first_culminating in 2022's The Garden, which reimagined some of her best-loved songs with help from a string quartet_the singer-songwriter wanted to express herself in a completely different way, composing with MIDI instead of piano or guitar. She found herself moving through a dreamworld of whispers, synths, and early Eurovision tunes-and Cohen's I'm Your Man and her great uncle's gauzy Maryla Rodowicz LPs. The result feels like an album that was concealed behind the backings of Bulat's childhood photos_tracks like "My Angel," where mystery and romance mingle over squelchy synths, drum machine, and a soaring string arrangement by Drew Jurecka (Dua Lipa, Alvvays), or "Laughter," which takes a quiet garden scene and sees it build to a deafening sublime. "Disco Polo" is a track Bulat's been threatening to make for years: a folk-song named for a genre of Polish dance music that was beloved by her late father. Meanwhile "Baby," which took years to finish, makes an elegant dance number out of an all-too-familiar predicament: "Baby, baby, baby," Basia sings, "I don't learn!" At some moments there are shades of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's "Bonnie and Clyde" or Charles Aznavour's "Emmenez-Moi," and at others it's the silicon-shiny sweetness of The Cardigans' "Lovefool" or Air's Moon Safari. Throughout, Bulat pays tribute to the magic of creation and the spellwork of performance. This is the truest location of Basia's Palace: not just the Mile End jam-space where she recorded much of this LP; not just her home, her family, or her searching spirit. But the moment itself_the one that happens on-stage, or in the instant of creation_when a song leaves Basia's heart and leaps onto her lips.

Paradigm Shifting Information!
Format: Kindle
I met and heard Jack Frost teach on this subject matter back in 1998 and 1999. It was profound revelation that began a healing process for those of us in the audience. People can only give out what was put in them. Children who were neglected in any way, verbally put down, emotionally hurt, negatively impacted, and/or abused by either parent, or both parents have a brokenness in their spirit that continues into adulthood. If that brokenness is allowed to linger those adults have children and carry on the same patterns in similar fashion. Self worth is eroded by experiences that create a self belief that we are unlovable or non deserving of a Heavenly Father's embrace of love and acceptance just the way we are which in turn promotes lasting change. Jack Frost was incredibly articulate in his teachings of the truth from God's word about how God really feels about us. Even if someone had great parents, the enemy is so cunning and very deceptive to plant thoughts of doubt and unbelief in a persons mind that hinders the truth about experiencing the Heavenly Father's embrace. I'm so glad that the family and ministry of Jack Frost put his teachings in books for the world to read and learn the truth. Jack has passed away but his words live on and our recorded in his books. I highly recommend all his books if only for gaining a fresh new perspective and insight. His teachings will always be relevant and current because the subject matter is always on going.

Power and personal exposition of God's love as Father
Format: Kindle
Frost draws heavily upon his own personal experiences yet he founds his words upon Scripture. There are a few points where i would question his exegesis. Nonetheless he teaches the wonderful truth that God is our Heavenly Father who deeply loves us. He contrasts this with the lie that he is a distant angry God who is not interested in our lives on an individual level. This is a great book for anyone who grew up with a less than ideal father because how your father treated you will shape how you view God.

Life changing truth - helped me tremendously!
Format: Paperback
This book has principles I have never heard taught anywhere else. They have changed my life as I incorporate them into my heart and mind. One of the most powerful is that you already have all the love your heart is looking for. You simply need to learn how to receive it. You have the Holy Spirit and He is the Source of all love. So simple, yet so profound and life changing. Teach your soul how to receive His love and you will notice a huge difference in your mindset, your emotions, your enjoyment of life, etc. I've read this book twice in order to really try to get this truth inside me. I have bought many copies of this book and given them to friends who also say that it has changed their life. I highly recommend it. God's love is something we all long for deeply, yet we hear such little teaching on. You can also get some of the author's teachings on CD at his web site: [...] He has graduated to his heavenly reward, but his wife continues his ministry today.
