We here at Infomaniac want to know...
Do you Bitches wake up to music?
If not, how do you wake up? An alarm clock of another sort? An app? Someone vigorously shaking you? You awake naturally? The crow of the cock?
Looks like the merriment extends through December too...

NOTE: Infomaniac Bitch, Eroswings has published an interesting piece on classical music over at Eros Den. He's started a new series called "The Sound of Music" and it's worth checking out.
Who says I wake up?
ReplyDeleteFirst.
Most days I either wake to very low sound of classical, or the jab of a cock.
ReplyDeleteDoes this answer your question?
Maddie, could you point that cock in Peenee's direction?
ReplyDeleteI like to start the day with a little Lawrence Welk. A wun and a two!
ReplyDeleteA nice tune from the Champagne Lady would be a special treat.
DeleteLX: That was NOT the song I was expecting to come out of Dale & Gail!!!
DeleteWhile you’re here, can I interest you in a bubble blowing alarm clock?
My bladder gets me up daily.
ReplyDeleteJEFFERY: This sentiment is for you.
DeleteFor sure.
DeleteBody clock wakes me at 7AM everyfuckingday! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSAVANNAH: 7 a.m.? That’s sleeping in for The Mistress!
DeleteI do not hear the two alarm clocks, because I am conditioned like any of Pawlow's dogs, and wake up before the nasty machines can produce their awful noise.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that I would wake up with music, I'd simply incorporate it into dreams.
Hopefully you sleep well, and enough.
MAGO: I’ll sleep better now that I know you survived the A-Road.
DeleteI wouldn't mind waking up to Judy Garland and Nat King Cole!
ReplyDeleteMJ, Thank you for the wonderful shout out and compliment. And thank you esp. for your valuable assistance in troubleshooting my experimental site and work in progress. It is very much welcomed and appreciated.
For work, I have three alarms--the clock radio on the dresser, far from reach. So, I have to get up and out of bed to turn it off. No snooze button use allowed. The phone as a back up. And my trusty digital watch (with two alarms setting) as a back up to the back up, in case a hurricane knocks the power out and takes out the clock radio and the phone doesn't charge.
For pleasant activities/plans, I set my stereo to wake me up to Edvard Grieg's Morning Mood.
To get rid of bothersome pests/guests, I set the stereo to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana - O Fortuna. It always wakes the hell out of rude guests, even the ones passed out like a drunk Canadian crashing out in some perfect stranger's home.
EROS: You’ve upheld the Boy Scout motto, “Be Prepared.”
DeleteEdvard Grieg's “Morning Mood” is delightful. I’ll choose it over “O-Fortuna” which, in addition to scattering houseguests who’ve worn out their welcome, might also work on teenage loiterers in shopping malls.
If I'm not already awake, I am roused by the faint alarm on my phone. I don't have any music until I get in Car to go to work - last week was a different Sophie Ellis-Bextor album pretty much every day!
ReplyDeleteMR. DeVICE: But what if you’re travelling by broom?
DeleteAt this time of year?! I imagine you're aware of the saying "colder than a witch's tit"?
DeleteMornings are hell enough without music. I need the soothing drone of the "Today" programme on BBC Radio 4 to get me through my Blackpool Breakfast (cup of coffee and a fag) before work. On a weekend I could quite easily kill anyone who wakes me before noon. Jx
ReplyDeletedarling.....we just may be separated at birth. Nice to know there are other ladies of leisure who don't leave the boudoir, or place a bit of marabou on before noon.....
DeleteJON & MISTRESS MADDIE: I may have slept to noon, once or twice, as a teenager. Never since. Obviously, I was not destined to be a drag queen.
Delete"I'm not a fucking drag queen.
DeleteI'm in another bracket!"
Jx
JON: The only ONE tiara you're sporting should have told me so.
DeleteI keep an old Roberts tranny besides my bed and every morning when I'm half roused I reach over and tune into French radio. This is what greeted me this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love Amadou & Mariam! Jx
DeleteMITZI: Better an old tranny beside your bed than in.
DeleteThere isn't any music I care to hear, so a loud buzzer jolts me awake. What's darling is the clock radio. My dear, departed father had had a radio just like it & I jumped on this one when I found it. Very 60s modern, I always thought it looked like it could've been a prop in 2001 A Space Odyssey.
ReplyDeleteNORMA: Did you ever wake up in bed with The Four Freshmen like the lady in photo #2?
DeleteFreshman? Never.
DeleteA junior maybe and certainly a senior.
After experimenting with tunes to wake up with I have a winner: Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones. The intro is a perfect wake up call.
ReplyDeleteSx
MISS SCARLET: And I love Merry Clayton on backup vocals on this tune.
