Missed Tune Tuesday as I thought this posted and didn't. So it's Wednesday, but oh well. I didn't know what 'verdant' meant til I looked it up, (green, lush, I learned something yesterday). Since @Lemniscata did Type O & that was the first I thought of, the second I thought of is this, by Gary Young (RIP), the original drummer of Pavement: https://youtu.be/YqRTcEG2IdA

The music video is GREAT, too- weird, hilarious shit with Gary dressed all in green and playing ukulele and drums- I first saw it via MTV's 120 Minutes years ago (it was also on a Beavis and Butt-Head episode) but I can't find the full, original music video & the song is all cut up in other places. So the link here is just the full song. Because it's a damn bop.

But it's worth looking up the video though, if you dig the song, and attached here are some images from it, so you can kinda imagine, if you hear this. (Fun fact, that's Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth as the dancing tree to Gary's right.)

3) ) #VerdantVoices for #TuneTuesday: songs with a connection to green and/or nature.

"And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
...

I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

Another for the #VerdantVoices green/nature theme today.

• Song of The Cedars – Cosmo Sheldrake
https://song.link/y/HH_timp2S3E

It's a collaboration between musicians, biologists, and the Los Cedros Cloud Forest in Ecuador. The humans involved credit the cloud forest with co-authorship.

The song includes forest field recordings of toucan barbets, echo-locating bats, howler monkeys, crickets, rustling leaves, and a subterranean recording of soil.

Haven't had a chance to look yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if this song has been chosen by others. It is so groovy ... I can dig it.
