The Moon in Your Perfume

Fun when you learn about a musician, start listening, dig the music, get deeper, and then find a song you already kind of knew.  Somehow.  From somewhere.  Vaguely.

Romeo's Tune is track 1 on Jackrabbit Slim.

I Said Come Down Here and See What Happens

Thought about Kip today.  I often think about Kip.



And I often misquote that scene.  My Kip voice always says:

You're just jealous because I've been chatting online with hot babes all afternoon

Which is almost the right line.  Not quite.  But close.  Not sure if I'm going to stick with my version or adjust for accuracy.  Not easy to stray from a sentence you've grown to love.

To Give to You the Word of the Old Man

I wonder how often we remember the first time we heard a song, where we were, what was going on, who put it on, and why.

I heard this song on a dirt road in Michigan last August. I asked the friend in the back seat, the most musical among us, to play something nobody else had heard.
 
I was impressed.

Ragged Wood is track 3 on Fleet Foxes.
