Born to be tired

[caddyman]

A propos nothing, I have decided that just lolling around half awake, listening to the magnificent Steppenwolf is one of the best things I have done recently left to my own devices. They are fantastic and to think I knew little about their music before buying this CD on spec.

Last night I reacquainted myself with the late great Janis Joplin. Why, oh why did I leave it so long to pick up that album? Such talent, such waste. Raw, ragged vocals, strained by smoking and Southern Comfort.

Raw emotion.

And on to the Velvet Underground next...

Shiny, shiny. Shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl-child in the dark
Clubs and bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

I say...
