I'm having a great time strolling down memory lane tonight!. Here's an amazing song that I used to LOVE back in the day.... West India Company - Ave Maria (Om Ganesha). The beautiful singing is by the one and only Asha Bhosle.

One of my favourite 80's songs - The Devil is My Friend by the Jazz Butcher - complete with cute devil drawings. For the WICKED in all of us!

P.S. You WILL be a saucy minion!

Here's a great mash-up of Kate Bush's seminal "Hounds of Love" and the 1950's era horror film she was influenced by - "Night of the Demon". This film was based on M.R. James' ghost story "Casting the Runes", a truly haunting story. Proof that 3 great sources equal 1 great product.

Here's some video that we shot on our trip to Normandy. The trip was all about the eating and the drinking, really. "We want the finest wines available to humanity, and we want them here, and we want them now!" Jeff's the one on the right.

CHELSEA HOTEL #2 - by Leonard Cohen.

(this one's for Bekah)

One of my favourite L. C. songs. Supposedly recounts a one-night stand he had with Janis Joplin. Sad and haunting ...



I remember you well, in the Chelsea Hotel
you were talking so brave and so sweet.
Giving me head on the unmade bed
while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons
That was New York
we were running for the money and the flesh
That was called love, for the workers in song
Probably still is, for those of them left.

Oh, but you got away, didn't you babe?
You just turned your back on the crowd.
You got away, I never once heard you say:
I need you
I don't need you
I need you
I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.

I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous; your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men,
but for me you would make an exception.

And clenching your fist, for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind -
we are ugly but we have the music"

And then you got away, didn't you babe?
You just turned your back on the crowd.
You got away, I never once heard you say:
I need you
I don't need you
I need you
I don't need you
and all of that jiving around

I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
That's all, I don't even think of you that often.
