Friday Music Fun. And a Clip From Trainspotting.

I was randomly surfing Youtube. First I found this song I love, it's called 'Sweet Pea.' Fantastic. Shoot, but I can't upload it in this post. Oh well. Anyways. Then I stumbled upon this scene from the movie Trainspotting, one of my favorite scenes of all time, haha it mostly features Begbie! And then thinking of that movie got me thinking about Blondie, and their song Atomic which some band covers in Trainspotting. And then thinking of Blondie made me think of their lead singer who reminds me of France Gall and Francoise Hardy. Who then made me think of Serge Gainsbourg (a total pervert!), who in turn reminded me of Frank Zappa. Did you need to know all that, why of course not! But that's what I'm here for, needless explanations. Uh, and I'm throwing in some other songs that I love, why? Well I suppose just for the hell of it!

Anyways here's some awesome vids:

Dream Dinner Party: My 10 Guests

Who I would want at my dinner party all depends on my mood. Instead of just picking artists, I'd like to have some diversity in this thing. Sorry, I included lots of politicians and pundits. I'll make another dream dinner party one of these days that reflects my personal tastes a bit more. I think this would be fun. If a fight did take place at this party, who would win and why? Would they win by force of their words or because they have a wicked right hook?

1. Lucian Freud
2. Mos Def
3. Hugo Chavez
4. Vladamir Putin
5. Paris Hilton
6. Noam Chomsky
7. Dick Cheney
8. Dave Chappelle
9. Mel Gibson
10. Jerry Seinfeld

Hopefully my dinner would be as cozy and fun as this round of Crossfire with Frank Zappa.
