You revisit the past and .....


 ........ are reminded just what a 
fantastic wordsmith

Glen Hansard is ...










If you have never seen him live you have never lived

6 degrees of captivation ......

Having been beguiled by Ane Brun, I then watched this YouTube of her ....



and was just captivated ..... Ane ... Ane .... I love you Ane .....

But it then got me thinking about other captivating performances ....

What about Perla .....


Perla .... Perla ..... I love you ......

Although you have no idea what she is singing about [I do now.... as I looked it up some time ago and this Mexican song has quite a story to tell ] but regardless .... you cannot take your eyes off her [well I couldn't] ......

Then of course there is the queen of captivation .....


I mean dancing on the back of a moving truck... what were you thinking Bjork .....

I suppose dancing around the Empire State building is a bit less bonkers



But Karen O dances with vigour and captivates all the way round ..... 
just so damned smiley ......

Then Camille captivated me on Mars .....




What a fab way to end a song .... how can you not be captivated by that ......

And then last but not least .... I tripped up on this one and thought wow .......



In fact so wow was I captivated by Alice Phoebe Lou.....

 I am going to see her live at Oslo on Thursday night ....

and here is another wonderful bonus track of hers .......



A song that not so much captivates .......

but tip toes across your soul ......

6 clicks of separation .......

If I recall it all started with Kevin Bacon .... starting first as 6 degrees of Bacon ... but then people realised it works in all forms ......

A few years back I discovered I was just 6 degrees of separation with [from] Karen Blixen .... hard to believe I know .... but truely true ....

Then I realised, it works with music .... the first click starts with the TV remote, then you hear a song playing as a sound track to a scene in a TV program, so you click Shazam on your phone, then you click You Tube ...... and before you know it .... within the 6 clicks of separation you are at ....

6 clicks of Ane Brun ....

The original of this first track was of course the wonderful Nick Cage ... 
but what a sublime version here ....












And how about a bed bouncer to finish on ....
 do you remember ?




beguiling ......

Click Click .......

If just looking at a Ferrari 246 Dino is enough to .....


.... melt your retina's .....


Then just listening to this song is more than capable of
melting your brain ......


[usual rules apply.... Sennheiser ie8 inserted in tabs 
and volume set to full throtttle]
