Britney Spears on Marriage
(Thanks, Rogue) Britney Spears: Before we got married we were on tour, and we were just like kids, ordering room service, saying, ‘Let’s go out tonight.’ Then, all of a sudden, you have this home, you have the kids [Federline’s two children from a previous relationship], you have to get the diapers, get the dog […]

‘Hindi Sad Diamonds' (from Moulin Rouge)
Watched the last half of Moulin Rouge last night. I mentally started blocking out a stage adaptation of the show in my head – I’m guessing the rights are already nailed down and will probably be produced in about 10 years or so. Totally love the Bollywood/Indian flavored production number – it reminds me a […]

Teaches of Peaches
An Amazon search for musicians similar to Lords of Acid brought up Peaches. I downloaded her song, ‘Fuck the Pain Away’ on iTunes. You’ll recognize it as the song in the Tokyo strip club in Lost in Translation for it’s strange beat and filthy-frank lyrics: Suckin’ on my titties like you wanted me, Callin me, […]

Ray Charles was one of musicians I wanted to see before I die (another being Tina Turner). Looks like he went before me. I’ll always remember his role in The Blues Brothers. You boys gotta learn not to talk to nuns that way.

The Fallen Priest
Been listening to ‘The Fallen Priest’ from Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe’s Barcelona which I’ve waxed about before. This particular song is a duet between a priest and his mistress and is a great example of build-up, pacing and release – all in matter of minutes. I love the lyrics: Priest: Why do I believe […]
