I am not a great singer. There are few tunes that I will belt out without fear of embarrassment or retribution. Two exceptions: Morrissey and Salt. Here is the latter: the best song and one of the best scenes in one of the best films of all time. It doesn’t get much better than Bricusse and Newley.

What a weird and beautiful mix of dudes. I think I liked the photo better before I knew the context. It was intriguing, like any old party snapshot captured late at night on someone’s back porch — except that this particular party is full of music legends.
It reminded me of this pic:
For no reason other than it’s a nostalgic shot of four people I love, just hangin’ out. And also, they are musical legends too.

Are You Ready?
Here’s a smokin’ performance by Pacific Gas & Electric, a band I just met online 10 minutes ago thanks to my friend Norm (go read about his new book on airbrush art and buy it — you will not be disappointed). Oh glory, there is so much to love about this video — from the sheepish trumpeter, to the guitarist who tears up a great solo despite being physically impaired by an abnormally tiny head and gigantic afro, to the creepy glare from the keyboardist who only gets a shot on camera in the last minute and really makes it count.
