A Wonderland Unbirthday Toast: To Tea, Tunes, and Too Many Goats
Welcome to a very merry Eclectic Wonderland episode, where the kettle’s whistling, the playlist’s piping hot, and the cake is served with a wink.
This week we celebrate our collective Capricorn chaos - DJ Tea, Mr. Announcer Man, and Mickey Fingers, - all born in the heart of winter, all creatively caffeinated since birth. Our unbirthday bash blends Wonderland whimsy, theatrical flair, and just enough glitter to keep things weird.
This week’s set includes vintage crooners, steampunk tea anthems, Alice-core bangers, dreamy dance floor gems, and surreal remixes. It’s a lovingly curated soundtrack to mismatched teacups, birthday rebellion, and musical kinship.
Behind the scenes? Mickey Fingers has been part of the Eclectic Wonderland journey from the beginning. From shared mixtapes in our Artist’s Way circles to full-blown radio antics and collaborative songwriting — this little radio world exists because a few of us said, “Hey, why not?” (Actually, Mickey Said.. "Hey, you two should do a radio show.)
Happy UnBirthday, Mickey! On this special occasion, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you have brought into my life. Thank you for challenging me in ways that have pushed me to grow and evolve, for supporting me through thick and thin, and for being wonderfully weird in a way that makes life so much more vibrant and interesting. Your unique perspective and approach to life have inspired me to embrace my own quirks and to celebrate the beauty of individuality.
I am particularly grateful for the invaluable lessons you've taught me, especially the importance of asking for help when needed. In a world that often glorifies self-sufficiency, your reminder that it’s okay to lean on others has been a transformative realization for me. You've provided a safe and nurturing space for me to explore my creativity, allowing me to write lyrics again without fear of judgment. This safe haven has reignited my passion for songwriting, and your guidance has been instrumental in shaping my artistic voice.
Your encouragement to step out of my comfort zone has opened up new avenues for me, both personally and creatively. Whether it’s through our late-night jam sessions or our deep conversations about life and art, you have a remarkable ability to inspire those around you to reach for their dreams and to believe in themselves. Your unwavering support means the world to me, and I cannot thank you enough for always being there to lift me up when I needed it most. Your belief in my potential has been a guiding light, reminding me that I am capable of achieving great things.
As we celebrate this UnBirthday, I want you to know how much I treasure our friendship. It is a rare gift to find someone who understands you so deeply and who encourages you to be your true self. Thank you for being you - wonderfully weird, endlessly supportive, and a constant source of inspiration. Here's to many more adventures together, filled with creativity, laughter, and all the cosmic energy we can muster!
Peace, Love & Cosmic Bunny Rabbits
