Ghosts at the Crossroads: Chicago Blues Reborn — Full Album & Lyric Journey

Image
Ghosts at the Crossroads: Chicago Blues Reborn — Full Album & Lyric Journey Ghosts at the Crossroads: Chicago Blues Reborn A restless spirit leaves the Delta, rides the Great Migration north, and watches Chicago invent electricity for the blues. This album follows that ghost across eight decades—from Maxwell Street to Chess , from Howlin’ Wolf to the Chicago Blues Festival , all the way into the digital era. Subscribe on YouTube Visit the YouTube Channel Listen on Spotify Visual concept: sepia‑toned collage—Robert Johnson’s specter at a Chicago intersection, 1940s club marquees fading into modern neon; Muddy, Wolf, and Little Walter appear like smoke in the lamplight. (Final cover includes the Deep Dive AI watermark.) Album Overview This is a chronological blues odyssey told from a ghost’s perspective. Each song marks a real turn in Chicago blues history: street‑corne...

We Cracked the Resort Schedule Before We Left (and It Felt Like Cheating) | Deep Dive AI

We Cracked the Resort Schedule Before We Left (and It Felt Like Cheating) There’s a specific kind of vacation stress that only shows up when you’re trying to plan fun. You’re not worried about passports. You’re worried about missing the one thing Kellie would’ve loved because the “daily schedule” is apparently a sacred scroll revealed only after you arrive. Punta Cana prep Resort app schedule Less guessing, more fun “Why didn’t we do this sooner?” Quick Addendum: The Exact Schedule Link This is the exact Stay App link we used to get into the resort hub and start finding the daily schedule before we left: Open the Stay App (desktop) → Tip: If the desktop view feels limited, open the same link on your phone or scan the QR inside the page for the mobile experience. The Problem: Vacation Planning With...

Day One: Letting the Game Slow Us Down

Day One: Letting the Game Slow Us Down | Team Jellie in Punta Cana Day One: Letting the Game Slow Us Down How This Game Works (And What We Drew on Day One) This trip isn’t just a vacation. It’s also a cooperative, low-pressure romance game we built for ourselves called Team Jellie . Each day, we draw three cards. Each card represents a different kind of experience: romance, rest, social warmth, or quiet reset. We don’t force the day to fit the cards — the cards gently frame the day. Hearts → Romance & emotional connection Spades → Water, calm, and internal reset Clubs → Social warmth, laughter, shared moments Diamonds → Treats, indulgence, and “yes, we’re on vacation” energy When a card is played: We do the simple prompt the card suggests We slow down for 5–10 minutes and actually notice it We log XP or spendable rewards ...

Lansing to Dominican Republic

Image
Travel day. We’re still in Michigan, bundled up inside a small airport terminal, waiting to board a direct flight out of Lansing. It’s 8 degrees outside. Feels like −15. The kind of cold that makes you question every decision that led you here. We arrived two hours early, which gave us plenty of time to discover that optimism weighs more than expected. Kellie overpacked by exactly 10 pounds. Not “about” ten. A very official, airline-confirmed ten pounds. That lesson cost us $50 and a quiet moment of reflection at the counter. Add in an Uber ride from about five miles out, and this trip already has a paper trail before we’ve even boarded the plane. Right now it’s coats on, bags at our feet, coffee steaming, and gate screens glowing. Michigan winter on one side of the glass. Caribbean plans on the other. We haven’t boarded yet. But mentally, we’re already halfway there.

Team Jellie’s “Catch-Them-All” Resort Drink Quest (Starts in 2 Days) | Deep Dive AI Podcast PUNTA CANA · IN 2 DAYS · SIDE QUEST MODE Team Jellie’s “Catch-Them-All” Resort Drink Quest We haven’t even landed yet and we’re already acting like the resort is a board game map. This is the advanced version: every bar, lounge, café, and restaurant drink stop we can reasonably touch at Secrets Royal Beach + Dreams Royal Beach —with map numbers—so we can slap a sticker down and say, “Yep. Cleared it.” Not because we have to. Because we want to. There’s a difference. And it tastes better. How it works One sticker per location. A “drink” can be a cocktail, a wine pour, a beer, an espresso, or a “we are standing here with intent” vibe-check. No minimum time. No guilt. No hustle. RULE Walk in → order (or coffee) → 3–5 minutes → move on when it feels r...

MRI Calm · Week 03 · Day 01 Steady Entry · Quiet Middle · Soft Exit

MRI Calm — Week 03 · Day 01 Steady Entry · Quiet Middle · Soft Exit This session was built for the exact moment your brain starts doing math in the MRI tube. No vocals. No drums. No surprise peaks. Just steady, neutral calm that you can safely ignore. 🎧 Watch / Listen on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zFcx-srF49M Why We Wrote the Suno Prompts This Way Most music is designed to grab attention. MRI Calm is designed to do the opposite. That sounds simple — until you try to do it with an AI music generator. AI is trained to create “interesting things,” and MRI environments need the exact opposite: nothing interesting, nothing dramatic, nothing that signals time passing. So these prompts aren’t about creativity. They’re about constraint . They act like guardrails that prevent the most common failure points: Sudden drum loops Surprise chord swells Accidental vocal fragments Cinematic “arrival” moments Bright tones that feel sharp or alerting...

  The Day We Filled Out Forms While It Was Eight Degrees Outside There’s a special kind of calm that only shows up after you’ve spent the morning staring at official government forms, triple-checking spellings, and wondering how many characters a “confirmation number” is allowed to have before the system politely scolds you in all caps. Today was that day. Not a packing day. Not a “let’s fantasize about the beach” day. A logistics day. The kind of day where the outside temperature is 8°F —with a wind that feels personal—and the destination weather app casually reports 85° and sunny , like it’s trying to start a fight. What We Did Today Today, Kellie and I completed the Dominican Republic e-Ticket process—entry forms required for immigration, customs, and health clearance before arrival. Two travelers. Two passports. Two QR codes. Zero margin for error. This wasn’t optional. This wasn’t “nice to have.” This was one of those invisible gates you don’t...
