Charlie + Harriet 4Ever

Beautiful, bemused bellicose butcher...



So I Married An Axe Murderer from 1993. Charlie meets Harriet, but she is too good to be true. Is she an axe murderer? Charlie is convinced so. Love and great quotes ensue.

Charlie wins back Harriet by reciting this lovely poem outside her window - This Poem Sucks. Will they live happily ever after?

If I Had A Photograph Of You...

Something to remind me - I wouldn't spend my time just wishing.

I always loved this sleeper from Flock of Seagulls. It was a late addition to an 80's playlist that I was recently commissioned to concoct for a 40th birthday party. We'll have to get to the other 298 songs on the playlist at a later date...

Taylor + Zira 4Ever




I thought Zira was so hot in Planet of the Apes. I wanted to kiss her too. Zira was with Cornelius until Taylor dropped in. Then Cornelius got the shaft...



But, alas, Taylor left with Nova. Probably a good move.

I've Been Thinking About You

I'm loving this dreamy track from Computer Magic. According to her Bio, Computer Magic was created in the Winter of 2010 in Bushwick, Brooklyn. CM consists of solely Danz, who composes, produces, and creates all the music.

Rusty James was a dumbass and lost Patty to Smokey...

October


October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?

October
And Kingdoms rise
And Kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on...


We were young men in the Autumn of 1981...Once the middle child between Boy and War, this album stands as a classic in its own right.

Harvest Moon


Thanx to Mag for the heads up on the rare Harvest Moon tonite.

From NASA

For the first time in almost 20 years, northern autumn is beginning on the night of a full Moon. The coincidence sets the stage for a "Super Harvest Moon" and a must-see sky show to mark the change of seasons.

The action begins at sunset on Sept 22nd, the last day of northern summer. As the sun sinks in the west, bringing the season to a close, the full Harvest Moon will rise in the east, heralding the start of fall. The two sources of light will mix together to create a kind of 360-degree, summer-autumn twilight glow that is only seen on rare occasions.


From The Waterboys

Your Chocolate Is In My Peanut Butter

That's what I think of when I hear this dub remix by Wait What, which mixes Juicy by The Notorious B.I.G. and VCR by The xx. And just like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, it's all good baby, baby...

Funky Cold Medina

Something funny happened to Tone-Loc in 1989

I went up to this girl, she said, Hi, my name is Sheena
I thought she'd be good to go with a little Funky Cold Medina
She said, I'd like a drink, I said, Ehm - ok, I'll go get it
Then a couple sips she cold licked her lips, and I knew that she was with it
So I took her to my crib, and everything went well as planned
But when she got undressed, it was a big old mess, Sheena was a man
So I threw him out, I don't fool around with no Oscar Meyer wiener
You must be sure that the girl is pure for the Funky Cold Medina

Like A Moth To A Flame

It's about not having control...

The phrase is a simple allusion to the well-known attraction that moths have to bright lights. The term was used in the 17th century to mean someone who was apt to be tempted by something that would lead to their downfall. This is referred to by Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice, 1596:

"Thus hath the candle singd the moath."

They Should Call It The Devil's Water



I moved much like this elephant after drinking a bottle of Bombay Sapphire...How else would you explain being driven to tears by singing this Radiohead song at extremely high volume? At least that's what they told me. Hey, it's a very emotional song! And I had no right to say those nasty things about Sufjan Stevens, whatever they were.. And, frankly, I thought the deck was quite comfortable...

Heavy In Your Arms



I wasn't sold on the critically acclaimed Florence & the Machine, but after listening to this track off the Eclipse soundtrack, I am convinced that, man, she can really belt it...plus after eating my pastries in Newark every morning these past three weeks, I thought it was apropos...

Something In The Bushes

Kids running around naked, fucking in the bushes..One of the greatest scenes you'll ever see from Guy Ritchie's Snatch. The music from Oasis goes insanely perfect with this scene, I think anyone would agree - Brad Pitt was one sexy bad ass...



Now listen to Oasis uninterrupted..

Gonna Take a Trip To Laredo


Laredo by the underrated Band of Horses out of North Carolina off their latest release Infinite Arms. Song of the Year nominee...

Gonna take a trip to Laredo
Gonna take a dip in the lake
Oh, I'm at a crossroads with myself
I don't got no one else

Impossibilities at the door
I won't be needing them no more
Oh, is this the first time in your life?
It's hard just to get by

But oh, my love, don't you even know?
And oh, my love, are you really gone?
Ooooh

And can you see the world through a window?
Are you having troubles in droves?
Oh, it ain't the worst thing I could do
Is get back home to you

I put a bullet in my Kia Sorento
A kitchen knife fucked in my face
Throw me in the deep of Jammer Lake
Believe me when I say

That oh, my love, you don't even call
And oh, my love, is that you on the phone?
Ooooh
...

And oh, my love, you don't even know
That oh, my love, are you really gone?
Ooooh

Happy St. Swithin's Day

Ten years ago I sent this invite for my St.Swithin's Day party



Of course Billy Bragg tells a tale of lost love in his aptly titled song St. Swithin's Day with these verses:

With my own hands
When I make love to your memory
It's not the same
I miss the thunder
I miss the rain
And the fact that you don't understand
Casts a shadow over this land
But the sun still shines from behind it.

Thanks all the same
But I just can't bring myself to answer your letters
It's not your fault
But your honesty touches me like a fire
The Polaroids that hold us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St Swithin's Day

The High Hat



It's gettin' so a businessman can't expect no return from a fixed fight. Now if you can't trust a fix, what can you trust? For a good return you gotta go bettin' on chance, and then you're back with anarchy. Right back inna jungle. On account of the breakdown of ethics. That's why ethics is important. It's the grease makes us get along, what separates us from the animals, beasts a' burden, beasts a' prey.
Ethics.

- Johnny Caspar, "Miller's Crossing."
