Listen to his timid, meager voice at the beginning, then watch this man tickle a 5 string bass…
IT IS SO COOL TO SEE THIS PERFORMED LIVE!!! (and with the Mysterious Anne Dudley on keys).
Blew my mind! CRAAAAAAAAAAAAANK IT UP!
(“….I just need a bass…. THAT’S IT! START THE CAR, ANNE!)
And as always, I am musically obsessing. Here’s another video of Trevor playing AND SINGING. I have always loved his voice. He sounds so geeky, British and timid. This song is on constant rotation in my head lately. I THINK the lyrics are about dying or afterlife (everything sounds past tense’y). Probably the happiest song about dying or afterlife I’ve ever heard. It’s from the album The Producers, Made In Basing Street. This album contains some of the best music producers of my life time: Trevor Horn (of course)(bass/voc), Lol Creme(guitar), Steve Lipson(guitar), and Ash Soan(drums). I CAN NOT STOP LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM. IT’S INFECTING ME!!!
Maybe you want to be a cowboy? Maybe you like to litter cigarette butts in the wild west dirt lands? Maybe you like horses? (or in my case) Maybe you have the theme to the Magnificent Seven rolling around in your head?
There are a few video’s here. Just click the forward button to the second one. This is my favorite, because you get to listen to magnificent seven while you watch the guy smoke and look really cool and bossy, then he just pitches his lit cigarette on the ground in disgust! GOD BLESS AMURKA!
1. Christmas in Marlboro country… Holidays aren’t just for booze and overeating anymore. Now you can smoke’m off.
2. My favorite one with bossy litterbug guy, and a very bold rendition of magnificent seven. Like they say, “there’s always time for a break!”
3. Cowboys at sunset. Meh! Looks like brokeback mountain set up.
4. “Morning comes to Marlboro country like the sun does..” (looks great with the coffee and the diabetic old man).
5. Julie London sings to her man in the car about his cigarettes while she drinks coffee from a porcelain cup. Totally believable. She should just shut up and sing my favorite Julie London song, “Hot Toddy”.
6. Heading for the “high?!?!?!” country?!?! what What WHAT?! Good magnificent seven on this one.
7. Where theres a man, there’s a marlboro. Really? Sexist smoking? Look george is a drug pusher. That lady is a MAN! Ralph will be ready to go when he’s done his nic fix.
8. A very touching sappy version of the magnificent seven. This guy is a major f’ing fly fishin loner. He doesn’t even care about grass stains on the ass of his pants when he lounges in the dirt. What a rebel!
9. The Marlboro man sings to you. I guess you can only smoke if you ride horses and work at the crack of dawn. Apparently snow helps too. Wow, roam rhymes with home and home rhymes with roam.
I am moving through the new season of arrested development. Each episode tells the same story from a different character’s perspective. It’s rather unique for a TV series structure.
So far, the greatly over publicized, new season has been interesting, but I got to the 14th of the 15 episodes today and it was a Buster “Mother Boy” Bluth episode.
I had to steal this audio quote of Buster talking to Lucille 2 (Liza Manelli). He’s attempting to move in with her (much like my life is in transition right now) and what he says here had me laughing so hard, I think I almost shit myself.
Listen closely… and if you get a chance to see this or have seen it, from my experience, I backed up the slider on my computer 12 times to re-watch this segment.
