August 31, 2012 Music Night with Lissie!

Posted on August 31, 2012 by jefffrane

It’s definitely time for a video from my favorite singer/songwriter and cutie pie. It seems to be a couple of years old, but I do not care. Not even a little bit.

Well in honor of the Blue Moon (and I’m using the more modern definition)… I heard this played on the radio and it seemed appropriate.

Okay, this has nothing to do with the theme or moons, but I heard it while trying out a new (old) radio… Always loved this version of this song. Herb Alpert: A Taste of Honey

  I’m just glad that there are a few shining examples left even if they are, technically, comedians. It occurs to me that, if one were able to actually pound the concept of hypocrisy into their thick skulls, the whole bunch of Reichwhiners would off themselves. Unfortunately they would probably choose to go out in a blaze of glory and take a bunch of innocent people with them.

Clan of Xymox – Cry in the Wind

———–

Also from Xymox

for AndyTheTurtle… a bit in line with this being the night of the Werewolf
(yes, this is a bit of a stretch)

Creatures

Autumn dies serene and slow
The lamp stands in a gentle glow
The silence rules, the evening grows
And the moon is far below

In me twist a sudden cramp
In my heart I hear it stamp
Marrow and blood encircle me
My blood stream chokes on gall and spleen
