From Cubicles to Coconut Trees : A Retiree's Journey from the USA to Malaysia

A little over a year ago, one of my good friends, Jean Hew, told me that she have been watching this very interesting expat who's posting about his life on YouTube and he happens to be showcasing some houses around my area. Which means, he lives just nearby!

I checked out his videos and his voice is angelic, it's super calming like Frederic Chopin's Andante Cantabile. I emailed him, and introduced myself, the formal and traditional way, as he's not very active on Instagram back then and we quickly became good friends, and neighbors since he just lives across the street.

In this episode of In The Spotlight, I'm truly honored to be featuring my very good friend Andrew Taylor ( @andrewtaylor4558 ) to share with us his story and experiences of navigating and living in Malaysia as an American Expat, and how social media, particularly YouTube, have changed his life for the better. Do check out his YouTube Channel too. It's super interesting. I bet you'll be hooked!

Be sure to like, comment, and most importantly share if you find this podcast useful. Thank you very much and advance and Enjoy the Show!

Lizzo, Billie Eilish, and Lil Nas X lead the 2020 Grammy nominees

Ariana Grande, Bon Iver, and Lana Del Rey round out the pack.

For some music aficionados, the Grammy Awards are the most important event of the year. Good news for them: The road to January 26, 2020, and the 62nd rendition of the annual ceremony has begun as the nominees have officially been announced.

Leading the pack is Lizzo, with eight nominations. The flutist-rapper-singer-dancer extraordinaire is up for some of the biggest Grammys, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year. Lizzo’s nominations — her first — are a fitting capper to an impressive year for the artist, whose songs “Truth Hurts” and “Juice” ruled the charts in 2019.

Also earning their first Grammy nominations are 17-year-old pop wunderkind Billie Eilish and 20-year-old genre-blending rapper Lil Nas X, who follow closely behind Lizzo in the overall field with six nominations each. Next comes the more seasoned Grammy nominee Ariana Grande with five nominations, including her first-ever nod in the Album of the Year category for the revelatory thank u, next, led by the single “7 rings.”

A surprise big category squeaker — there’s always one! — is Lil Nas X, whose remix of “Old Town Road” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus became an inescapable earworm this year. The hit country-trap single broke Billboard chart records and spawned numerous remixes, so its Record of the Year nomination is expected and deserved, as is Lil Nas X’s Best New Artist nod. But his Album of the Year nomination for his debut EP, 7 — which features two versions of “Old Town Road” and five other comparatively scant tracks — has left us scratching our heads.

Also up for Album of the Year are works by a trio of artists who transcended indie tastemakers’ playlists to find mainstream success: i,i by Bon Iver, who previously won Best New Artist (after the release of Bon Iver, Bon Iver in 2014); Father of the Bride by Vampire Weekend, marking the band’s first-ever Grammy nod in one of the award’s top three categories; and Norman Fucking Rockwell! by Lana Del Rey, who has been nominated for multiple Grammys in the past, but never Album of the Year.

A notable omission is Lover by Taylor Swift, which was well-received as both a maturation and return to country-pop form for the singer. Although the title track and “You Need to Calm Down” received individual nominations, the full album did not. It’s possible that Swift cut it too close to the Grammys’ window of eligibility to garner much notice from voters for the full-length LP. Lover was released on August 23, just ahead of the Grammys’ cutoff on August 31.

Below, we’ve listed all the nominees in the Grammys’ four major categories, which recognize artists across all genres.

Visit the Grammys’ website for the full roster of nominees in all 84 categories.

50 Moon Quotes Celebrating the Shine in Darkness

This “moon quotes” collection will help you see the beauty of life and inspire you to believe in your purpose.

The moon shines and makes our world bright at night. But besides illuminating our nights, the moon can be a great motivator with many life lessons for us.

The moon is full of imperfections but it’s still beautiful and a pleasure to watch. It has beauty and elegance without reason. Like the moon, we should be calm and reflect beauty despite being imperfect in appearance. We should shine in the darkness of life and give way to the path of light.

The moon goes through phases much like we do. Like it, we should embrace the changes in our lives without fearing what differences they might bring.

Strive to achieve every possible success but do not bask in your glories for long. Just like the moon wanes, you should be open to shedding your past so you can pick yourself up to scale a new peak.

To shine your life with imagination and possibilities, below is our collection of beautiful, wise, and inspirational moon quotes, moon sayings, and moon proverbs, collected from a variety of sources over the years.

Moon quotes celebrating the shine in darkness

1.) ”Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” – Anton Chekhov

2.) ”The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” – Tahereh Mafi

3.) ”The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to.” – Carl Sandburg

4.) ”The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.” – Deng Ming-Dao

5.) ”But even when the moon looks like it’s waning…it’s actually never changing shape. Don’t ever forget that.” – Ai Yazawa

6.) ”The beautiful moon is an antidepressant. Love for her light is in every heart because she is so friendly, loving and forgiving.” – Debasish Mridha MD

7.)” When hope is fleeting, stop for a moment and visualize, in a sky of silver, the crescent of a lavender moon. Imagine it — delicate, slim, precise, like a paper-thin slice from a cabochon jewel. It may not be very useful, but it is beautiful. And sometimes it is enough.” – Vera Nazarian

8.) ”Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” – Les Brown

9.)” The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.” – Shannon L. Alder

10.) ”We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.” – John F. Kennedy

Moon quotes to help you see the beauty of life

11.) ”It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.” – Galileo Galilei

13.) ”The moon is the reflection of your heart and moonlight is the twinkle of your love.” – Debasish Mridha

14.) ”When we are looking at the moon, we see the purest reflection of our own beauty and magic, which is why we love the moon so much.” – Debasish Mridha MD

15.)” This is what I am talking about: the bewitching power of moonlight. Moonlight incites dark passions like a cold flame, making hearts burning with the intensity of phosphorus.” – Rampo Edogawa

16.)” You may have the dark and cold street life, ruled by the lessor light of the moon. During this time, I restore my temple, and later awake to greet the awesome radiance of the sun-star.” – T.F. Hodge

20.) ”The moon stared at me through sprinkled nighttime stardust and I alone smile.” – Jay Long

Moon quotes to inspire you to grow and regrow

21.) ”I’d rather live in a world where I get to love the moon than in one where I don’t, even if the moon won’t return the feeling.” – Alex London

22.) ”The moon fascinates us in her simplicity.” – Avijeet Das

For this, their second full season as owners and artistic directors of the Ancram Opera House, Jeff Mousseau and Paul Ricciardi have an exciting schedule planned, bringing some cutting-edge artists to the small rural community in southeastern corner of Columbia County.

The season already launched in June with another installment of Ricciardi’s Real People, Real Stories. Inspired by The Moth radio hour, Ricciardi helps storytellers to craft their tales into their best form for performance. This is a twice-yearly event with another evening of stories scheduled in December.

But the excitement really begins this coming weekend when Mousseau and Ricciardi bring The Holler Sessions, written and performed by Frank Boyd, created in collaboration with the TEAM. Staged as a live radio show, The Holler Sessions centers around Ray, an explosive Kansas City DJ, as he broadcasts his love of jazz from his shoddy studio with an infectious passion for this uniquely American art form. The show runs July 14-16 & 20-23; Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 7 pm.

“We first saw The Holler Sessions at the Coil Festival and it really left an impression on us,” Ricciardi explained. “We started talks last fall to bring it to the AOH. It is exactly what we are trying to find, that intermingling of theatre and music. At one point the theatre goes dark and you just listen to the jazz. It makes you think about what you see as well as what you hear.”

The show will go to the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis after it plays Ancram, a process that tickles Mousseau and Ricciardi. “From Ancram to the world!” they laughed.

Next up on August 4, 5, 11 and 12 is We’re Gonna Die, a life affirming show about death, written by Young Jean Lee, with original music by Lee, Tim Simmonds, Mike Hanf, Nick Jenkins, and Benedict Kupstas. New York City-based Lee is a writer, director, and filmmaker who has been called “the most adventurous downtown playwright of her generation” by The New York Times and “one of the best experimental playwrights in America” by Time Out New York. Smart and catchy pop songs, heart-rending storytelling, humorous moments of standup and even a short dance break make We’re Gonna Die a powerful, even joyful experience.

“Our fundamental ideas of creating a space where people can present innovative ideas were good ones, they have some legs to them,” Mousseau explained. “We were encouraged by the solid attendance and participation during our first season, and really gratified by the response. We were proud to present the North American premiere of In Praise of Elephants last year, which was written to be performed in a small village hall in Britain.”

How do you come to own a rural performance space? It started in 2005 when Mousseau and Ricciardi moved from New York City to Hudson, NY. “We were introduced to the area by a friend who lived in the Berkshires. Then Hudson caught our eye and we reoriented ourselves and made that our home,” said Mousseau.

A few years later they attended a production of The Turn of the Screw at the Ancram Opera House and thought what fun it would be to stage a show there. The hall had been restored and was used for a time for the performance of elaborate operettas, but by the time Mousseau and Ricciardi visited those productions had ceased and the space was being used for a variety of community classes and performances.

Then in 2015 the AOH came on the market and Mousseau and Ricciardi jumped at the chance to buy.

“The decision was instantaneous,” Ricciardi explained. “It was just immediately clear as soon as we came out and visited the property that we were going to buy this building come hell or high water.”

The two sold their home in Hudson, took a true leap of faith, and now “live above the shop.”

“The Opera House is ideal. It provides a home for us, an apartment space for guest artists, and performance space,” Mousseau said.

The AOH was constructed in the 1920’s as the Ancram Grange Hall. It was restored and renamed the Ancram Opera House in the 1970’s.

The pair are equally passionate about their non-Ancram related careers. Both have impressive credits as performers, directors, and educators. Currently, Ricciardi is a full-time faculty member at CUNY Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn where he teaches voice and acting five days a week. And Mousseau works remotely as the General Manager of the Consortium of Asian-American Theaters & Artists, along with tackling numerous freelance directing jobs. He is currently developing a new piece with a Mexican performer.

While it is home to the longest continuously operating mill in New York State and one of the largest employers in Columbia County, Ancram is mostly farmland and second homes for city dwellers. Mousseau and Ricciardi estimate that about half their audience own homes in the immediate area – Ancram, Copake, Hillsdale, and Gallatin – with the other half travelling from a little further afield in Dutchess, Litchfield, and Berkshire counties.

“Owning a tiny theatre in the country is lots of fun!” Ricciardi enthused. “It is charming that the field that serves as our parking lot in the summer is great for cross-country skiing in the winter.”

The pair are looking ahead now and scouting shows they want to bring to Ancram in 2018 and beyond.

“We’re looking at plays we want to produce,” Mousseau explained. “Pangea and Joe’s Pub in New York City area good music connections for us. That’s where we met Joseph Keckler, who performed here last fall; and Barb Jungr, who will be performing her evening of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen songs Hard Rain on the evening of August 19.”

Barbara Jungr brings her cabaret “Hard Rain” to Ancram on August 19.

Mousseau and Ricciardi are collaborating with playwright Darrah Cloud on a site-specific piece for Olana this fall.

And they are currently working with playwright Darrah Cloud on an outdoor, site-specific piece for Olana, painter Frederic Church’s Hudson Valley home, which will be performed September 22-24. The piece draws inspiration from the artist’s painting, letters, family life and the celebrated landscape and is presented as an immersive experience in which performer and audience journey together into Church’s art.

Information on all current and future activities at the Ancram Opera House can be found at https://www.ancramoperahouse.org Tickets are $25 each to all summer events.

The 20 Best deadmau5 Songs

He may not be one for metaphors or lofty album titles, he may not know how to refrain from weighing in on any given subject, he may not really know how to play a bunch of traditional instruments, but Joel Zimmerman, aka deadmau5, is absolutely one of electronic dance music’s greatest producers.

He’s quite prodigious with eight studio albums released in 10 years, a successful label that helped spawn Skrillex and others, and his own music production Master Class series. You get the feeling he does everything the hard way, but he somehow does it so well.

Here’s a list of the 20 best deadmau5 songs to date, in our critical opinions. Enjoy, and feel free to disagree.

20. deadmau5 – “Bot”

For Lack of a Better Name is deadmau5’s fourth studio album and one that cemented the noise artist as one of the greats. It spawned tons of hits, and while “Bot” isn’t the LP’s grandest achievement, it is one of deadmau5’s most interesting songs. It’s full of wacky textures and frog noises. It sounds like the tribal music of exotic aliens who dwell in some kind of fantastic cyber jungle.

19. deadmau5 – “Alone With You”

This glittering bit of progressive house come from Random Album Title, deadmau5’s beautiful third LP. The persistent beat keeps bodies moving through the sparkling, melodic mist. It’s the kind of emotional build one happily and aimlessly explores over and over again.

18. deadmau5 – “Closer”

That exciting five-note progression should be instantly recognizable as John Williams’ alien-speak melody in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Daft Punk also used the sample, officially titled “Wild Signals,” as the intro to its Alive 2007 set, but deadmau5 takes the motif and turns it into something even grander. He deviates after the first two minutes, though those five notes continue to make their way in and out of the melodic lines. Maybe the aliens are listening.

17. deadmau5 – “Snowcone”

The first official single from deadmau5′ latest album, W:/2016Album, earns its name. It’s light and airy atmosphere captures the feeling of a light snow, and as we move forward into the beat, we find ourselves exploring deadmau5 hidden love of hip-hop rhythm. Kanye West and Pete Rock are fans. They shared a video of themselves listening to it in the studio, upon the reception of which deadmau5 announced “Snowcone” as one of his favorite songs on the new LP.

16. deadmau5 – “Infra Turbo Pigcart Racer”

Track five from while(1has got to be one of the most unique weapons in deadmau5′ musical arsenal. At just more than nine-and-a-half-minutes, it tells the supersonic story of, well, let’s pretend it really is a piggy racecar driver. It’s called Fast and the Furriest, and it is all about one adrenaline junky porker who makes his way into the Tron world and unlocks the true supersonic potential of those light bikes. Alright, I just made all that up, but doesn’t it sound like that?

15. deadmau5 – “Hi Friend”

This song perfectly captures the vibe of going out to your favorite nightclub and running into everyone you know and love. Lots of electro, heaps of filters, and dope party raps from MC Flipside.

14. deadmau5 – “Aural Psynapse”

Though it appears on 2011’s 5 Years of mau5 double-disc compilation, “Aural Psynapse” was first recorded and released in 2001 under deadmau5′ former alias Halcyon441, another Joel Zimmerman screen name lost in the annals of time. Proving the old adage that everything old is new again, the single went on to peak at No. 7 on Billboard‘s Dance/Electronic Digital Song chart. It’s a beautiful, emotional song where synths take the lead in all shapes and forms. Definitely a classic deadmau5 atmosphere.

13. deadmau5 – “HR 8938 Cephei”

This stand-alone release never graced an official deadmau5 album. It was one of Zimmerman’s Soundcloud dumps, but it’s nothing to overlook. At nearly 11-minutes long with a distant star namesake, it’s a progressive journey that starts cold and somber, builds into a hopeful, shoulder shaking beat, and here and there blasts the listener with strong, powerful moments.

12. deadmau5 – “Brazil (2nd Edit)”

Whatever happened to the first edit of “Brazil?” Well, deadmau5 decided it wasn’t that important. He might have been right. This track has been sampled by Kylie Minogue, Alexis Jordan, and Taio Cruz. It’s got an infectious beat and an easy-going staccato synth melody. Does it make you feel like you’re in Brazil when you listen to it? It’s a lot cheaper to enjoy than a vacation, in any case.

11. deadmau5 – “Maths”

Who’s ready to get weird? We are, and deadmau5 is bringing the electronic, alien funk heavy on this cut from 2012’s > album title goes here It served as the album’s lead single, and originally, it was supposed to be the final track on 4×4=12. The anxious, rising motion of the hook is the stuff dance floor come up dreams are made of. No one can stay seated when a tune like this gets dropped. This weird little tune is a get-up-and-go machine.

10. deadmau5 – “Moar Ghosts N Stuff”

Question: Why does “Moar Ghosts N Stuff” precede “Ghosts N Stuff” on 2009’s For Lack of a Better Name? Answer: Because deadmau5 is a troll, and he does whatever the hell he wants. This creepy organ intro is bone-chillingly cool. It’s actually a sample of Frederic Chopin’s Piano Sonata, Op. 35, No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, if you care to know. The vocal sample is from a monologue in The Brain From Planet Arous, a black-and-white, 1957 sci-fi indie flick. It also is an incredible way for deadmau5 to say “yeah, I just totally changed the game, and I am one of the best ever. Part two comes before part one. -shades fall on eyes- Deal with it.” This motif is one of deadmau5’s most memorable and instantly recognizable melodies. It just had to crack the top 10.

9. deadmau5 – “Sometimes Things Get, Whatever”

Another absolute fan favorite, this one being an early cut from 2008’s Random Album Title. It’s an easy song to relate to. We’ve all been overwhelmed by life to the point that we revert to cold robot mode, right? Zimmerman probably feels this way all the time. He’s totally that perfectionist sound engineer guy who frets over everything. I can’t actually say that with certainty, but c’mon, listen to this. Ironically, it’s a pretty straightforward and simple composition. He’d probably have a big explanation for why that’s not true, of course. It probably took like a million hours of engineering to create this. It’s probably too complicated to explain, so, you know, whatever.

8. deadmau5 – “Animal Rights” with Wolfgang Gartner

Storytime! This jam dropped a couple weeks before I turned 23, and the night of my birthday, I was partying in college, and some drunk frat guy wandered into our after party and heard it was my birthday and decided he was gonna give me a lapdance. So I put on “Animal Rights” and he was like “Hey, I really like this song. Who is it?” And I was like, “Don’t worry about it and take your clothes off.” That has nothing to do with how awesome this Wolfgang Gartner collaboration is, how it’s super funky and was totally exciting and fresh at the time, how it blends Gartner’s signature “complextro” sound with deadmau5’s awesome, techy atmospheres – but then again, maybe it does. Either way, go get a lap dance from a frat boy to it. It’s a pretty fun experience, even though he’s totally feeling himself more than you are.

7. deadmau5 – “The Veldt” feat. Chris James

Grab your reading list. This tune is inspired by a Ray Bradbury short story, also titled The Veldt. That’s more to do with Chris James’ original lyrics, but it’s still totally awesome. You should know Ray Bradbury as the guy who wrote Fahrenheit 451, and if you don’t, get it together! deadmau5 created this song live during a 22-hour livestream. Dude is insane, right? The original version is just more than eight-and-a-half minutes long, and when the radio edit ends at just more than two-and-a-half, you’re like “wait, where is the rest of the song,” but the video is really cool, so we share it with you. This is a majestic bit of music, a perfect combination from deadmau5 and James.

6. deadmau5 – “Some Chords”

I nominate this track for Best Song Title of All Time. Basically every song in the history of ever could have this name, but only deadmau5 was lazy and clever enough to think of it. The chords in question are the backbone for the song, the musical template around which the beat aimlessly meanders. The chords evolve through different instrumentation, all the while the texture accents weave in and out to build the song to an aggressive fever pitch.

5. deadmau5 – “Raise Your Weapon”

Heartbreak is never easy, but the music is inspires is some of the best ever written. “Raise Your Weapon” is a rallying cry, something to cling to in times of sadness. It’s opening piano notes, matched by singer Greta Svabo Bech’s listless vocal entry, welcomes your sorrow, but soon, the song finds strength, just as you will, given enough time. Bech is positively powerful by mid-section, and of course, so is the music, which eventually dissolves into a dubstep breakdown. It grips the listener from beginning to end, and though it’s a rather primitive bit of dubstep, it’s got some of the cooler noises we’ve heard in the garish genre. We’re happy to hear those piano chords finish it out, though. Part of your sadness never dies.

4. deadmau5 – “Faxing Berlin”

Faxing is an outdated form of communication, but it may have still been slightly relevant when deadmau5 first released this track in 2006. Email was totally relevant by then, but old people, you know? Famously supported by Pete Tong, “Faxing Berlin” is actually deadmau5’s first single ever, which is worth celebrating in itself. It’s also the first-ever release from mau5trap records. It’s also a constant favorite among fans, it’s slow build progressive vibe being absolutely quintessential to the deadmau5 sound. It’s one of his chillest, prettiest compositions. It’ll put you in a trance you’ll never want to escape.

3. deadmau5 – “I Remember” with Kaskade

“Faxing Berlin” is beautiful, but “I Remember” is one of the most luscious, gorgeous, all-encompassing electronic tunes of all time. It’s got classic written all over it, from the moment the beat and chords hit your ears, to the transcendent minute vocalist Haley Gibby sings into the mic, on through its full, spell-binding nine minutes. It’s kind of the perfect rave anthem, with soft female vocals whispering vaguely positive messages and chords in the tone of soft blues and whites. Something about it makes me reminisce about raves I went to in the mid 2000s, or maybe that’s just the song’s reminiscent vibe creeping into my head. I see what you did there, guys. Good game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7ArUgxtlJs

2. deadmau5 – “Ghosts n Stuff” feat. Rob Swire

Here we are again, these instantly-recognizable synth chords, this moment-defining sound. Of course, this time, we get the incredible Rob Swire, a man who was already a legend for his work with Pendulum, and who would go on to be even more famous as Knife Party. Swire is a beast on this track. This song was originally created at the request of Pete Tong, who essentially dared deadmau5 to make a new tune in time for his appearance on BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix. It’s one of deadmau5’s biggest hits ever, which is more than impressive for a last-minute production. This beat matched with these scream-along vocals makes for one of dance music’s most memorable refrains. It’s a classic. Kids 20 years from now will be like “have you heard Ghosts n Stuff,” and wish they were around to party in 2009, for sure.

1. deadmau5 – “Strobe”

I don’t think anybody would argue against “Strobe” being deadmau5’s best song. It’s iconic. It’s got all the elements that make deadmau5 the producer he is. It’s slow and pretty, it takes time to evolve, it’s got a slow and steady build, it erupts into progressive house perfection, it even carries a bit of hard electro edge. It’s just the jam. It’s such the jam, deadmau5 recently reimagined it for mau5trap’s 100th release, then he gave it away for free because he knew all you fools wanted it so bad. It’s one of those perfect electronic tunes that stays with you forever, and for that, we owe deadmau5 our eternal thanks.
