MUSIC MONDAY: Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of // U2

EASTER SONG: Tom Waits - Chocolate Jesus

I'm not big on celebrating Easter. For various reasons, I've kind of avoided it for a few years now, and prefer to do my own thing over the long weekend. Usually, things that don't involve chocolate, because Easter seems to have become a celebration of chocolate more than anything in so many homes. Nonetheless, I don't really want to get started on social commentary today. I'll let Tom Waits do it for me...

MUSIC MONDAY: Keith Richards & Ron Wood - You Got The Silver

This is one of my favourite songs of all time.
When we were still planning to have a more 'traditional' wedding, with me walking down the aisle, the plan was for a very good friend to play this as I walked into the chapel and down the aisle.
It's a truly beautiful and timeless piece of music.
Enjoy!


(From the 'Shine a Light' DVD (2007), which Maja Boo and I watched again on Friday night.)

Cool, huh? :)

MUSIC MONDAY: Nirvana - You Know You're Right

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle // Nirvana

Today I'm loving:

Dear Prudence by The Beatles



Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
That you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round round
Look around round round
Oh look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out to play

A truly spectacular love song. What I wouldn't do for the spinal cord of JFK / Wrapped in Marilyn Monroe's negligee! *sigh*

Zombieland - Montage (Video)

What it is to "Go Tallahassee"

Chain Gang Tap Dance (Video)

The magnificently talented Holst Sisters tap dancing while chained to each other! This clip is from the 1936 film Amuse Yourself, which I found via Coilhouse

Happy weekend!

Goombay Dance Band - Christmas at Sea (Video)

This was my Dad's absolute favourite Christmas song... Carols weren't his thing, but this... he actually wore out the first tape he had with it one, and then got another two, just in case.
I was missing him SO, SO much today, and the only thing that cheered me up was listening to this.


Merry Christmas everyone!

Yay Tim Burton!!!
