When coming up with this post i was determined to not include any sort of music content for a change. So here's some music content and other miscellanea.
Sammy Baby - i found deep in many hidden and forgotten files Dave Brubeck's recording of 'That Old Black Magic'. Since i haven't really heard any other versions i thought I'd look a few up. Besides there being the well known Sinatra version there is of course Sammy Davis Jr doing personally what i think is one of the best covers ever. Normally i put vocal jazz aside but it's the shear energy in Sammy's performance that really make it. Also amusingly i found a supposedly rare 70's disco version Sammy recorded of the same song, and to me it sounds like an almost spot on impersonation of a Jim Carrey impersonation of Sammy. Weird how things loop round like that. See below for the older TV version and here for the disco-o-o-o.
..speaking of Jim Carrey, CSI Miami, Horatio Cane sunglasses scene compilation. Genius.
..speaking of canes, Hugh Laurie in House MD. Or should i say.. Hugh Laurie don House MD. I like Schweppes but this makes it all the more sweeter.
..sweet, like the sound of ringing bells. Click compose if you're in the mood for creativity.
Damn fresh out of links, anyway moving on i really want one of these baby's. If John Medeski can make one of these look swish then i can too, but only in a moderate fashion.
Melodica!
In the news boy band Blue is reuniting for a Summer concert this year, and my mum is going berserk with excitement. She will be getting the cardboard cut-outs from the loft now *shudder*.
