CMJ is done and we’re all back to normal, not anymore exhausted or hungover than usual. I saw Sean Bones, Antlers, Atlas Sound, Broadcast, Local Natives, Hockey, Best Coast (U GO GIRL,) Fanfarlo… I think that’s it. Schmoozefest to the max.
Just want to let you know, whoever stole Logan’s foot tambourine thing last night at Spiegeltent, we are coming after you bitch! You better not go jangling around our block with it strapped to your foot.
now bear with me as this below is one of those youtubes you don’t really have to watch. i love how youtube is now also a depot of whatever song i want to hear but don’t want to find or buy. i’m cool with this, as a record label. ok
now, Nana Mouskouri, is someone you need to learn about. In the 60’s she was the swingingest, hottest Greek beatnik in the world. She invented the Chloe glasses, you know the ones girls named Chloe wear. Now she does Celine Deon kinda stuff but forget about now. Her band is tight, her pipes are lovely and playful. The piano tingles, and i think that’s a harmonica.
That’s from a movie called Never on Sunday. Please watch this movie. Melina Merkouri who played
” the prostitute that has no price” did the original singing in 1960. Here’s her version, much more steamy but a bit less vocal talent.
Back to that ill Nana, here she is without glasses. Still a fox with sensitive voice:
There is a version of her singing “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town” in French that is not on youtube yet. It’s the shoot. I have it on this pink import record that I bought for 1 dollar and wouldn’t sell for the world. Well, I might give it away to a girl who reminds me of Nana.
Apple had a big announcement event yesterday that i was sitting on edge for because I, who have been without a computer for a month and a half, hoped that new Macbooks would be announced. But no, no new comps, only new iPods. I have never owned an iPod (i don’t listen to music while moving around, i don’t want to miss anything going on) but this new feature might change my mind:::
Yes, now you can jerk off your iPod. I got this step by step from the Apple site:
First, tease it with a little side by side for “unpredictability” , growl, iPods love that.
I can imagine all the people on the L train staring down the ladies and working there iPods
Then really get it going – you’ll always be suprised with what you..
