Babe Of The Day * Scarlett Johansson

I know...a very predictable choice for BOTD but damn it all...she is a smokin' hot babe.

Fat Lip (A Poem) by Kevin Heyne

A poem taken from my book Dead Hip.

This Year's Girl by Elvis Costello

From his This Year's Model record released in 1978 and one of his greatest musical achievements if you ask me. It was produced by Nick Lowe. So anyway...I added some fashion photo's to go along with the tune. I've really been getting into vintage and contemporary fashion photography and this is just a small peek into my collection. These shots were taken by Thierry Le Goues. Enjoy.

Rush (New York 12 Inch Mix) by Big Audio Dynamite

Fun stuff ahead. Check out this great version of BAD's hit number Rush. This is the dance mix and it really rocks. This version came off a collection entitled The Bad Files which really rules. If you are a fan I suggest you search for it and snag it once you do.

I've added some very random photographs for your viewing pleasure. I hope you enjoy this.

Without Music (A Poem)

 Nietzsche

was right on the money

when he said

Without music,

life would be a mistake

I’m sure old

 Friedrich would not have

been a huge fan

of The Clash

but I am and I play them

loud

loudly and louder

when I have the opportunity to,

usually

when everyone has left the building

the drums crack the walls a bit

and the treble rings in my ears

but it’s all good

tonight

alone with

razor blade telecasters

strumming the hell

out of the six wire strings

and that bass

(always back to the bass)

will end up in a

broken heap on the

stage soon after the last note

is played

and then

they will lay on the

destruction

debris flying everywhere

and all I can do

is applaud here in my room

being as how

I was born at the wrong time

to see them live

so Joe

your grumble and coughing

reggae roots kill me

every time

I pop you into the stereo

and you

alone make me feel

like a amphetamine high

shaking 

but I ain’t got the chills

(You know, don’t you?)

and so I have a

purpose

my ears were

simply born to listen to you

and I have done so

faithfully since I was

twelve

So…it’s now

officially

 Armageddon Time

the skies rip apart

 the ground cracks like a egg

and as all falls into

disorder

I will still have you

in my ear

and let it come

says I

let it come

I can handle anything 

   * Taken from my book Dead Hip*

Girls On Film (Europa Mix) by Duran Duran

From their album Voices Another Sound...lots of fun to play. Enjoy this version of Girls On Film.

Hey Sexy by The Coasters

 From the Rhino Records collection 50 Coastin' Classics. The Coasters are one fantastic band and this tune is one of my favorites of theirs. Give it a shot won't you?

Babe Of The Day *Barbara Stanwyck

Building Blocks

OK

Relax now

Just let it

Come out of you

Give it a chance

To pour out of you

Like a wonderful

Literary waterfall

Sure

You’ve been blocked

Before and this one

May have been

The worst one yet

Because you felt

It hard in your

Bones

But it will be over tonight

Allow yourself to scream a bit

And punch your thigh

As you take your seat

Bring with you some

Coffee and light a candle

For good luck

Play some good music

Preferably

Something hard

And nasty

From the 60’s

Like maybe

96 Tears

Yeah,

Now you’re talking Cowboy

And lookey here

It’s coming out

No epidermal needed

It’s a natural birth

Look how adorable that little

Poem is

And your hips are wide

My friend

You can do this

Over and over

Until you are

Satisfied

(Maybe when you are 80)

Be sure not to

Celebrate too much

Keep your pride in check

Nothing worse than a

Happy satisfied poet

And take a look at

The screen will you

Letters!  Words! A Poem!

Be sure to save it in the

Folder that you hide from

Your family

And

Think about how good

It will look

In that book that will be published

Most likely

After you’re passing

But

That’s OK

You are out of your

Block now

And there is only one

More thing

To do now

Write another one

And another

And

So on…

Babe Of The Day * Mia Kirshner

Within The Ropes

puffy and aged

caramel running through

my veins

with sugar boat feet

tender with

every step

across this

blanketed floor

why smile

when the hatred

is strong?

 I cut across

the wrist with a

copper red razor

and the salt line

that pumps

everything brown

into my resin heart

lets loose

a yeast infection

in my dying ears

with no intention

to fight off the  vices

that let the

pain just

roll  in

like sick blood waves

splattered across

the pubic brine

and who among us

will get in the ring

to stomp me

out of a 40 year old funk?

this squeezing ennui

that causes heart attacks

in most victims

   but not me

 as the sitar plays

in decadence

of the lotus position

 the smoking lust of

pure thighs

all tied up

and ready for

a bareback collapse

this evening

with milky riots

shining like

a million gold coins

in the diseased

water fountain

from which the

dogs of war

drink from

lapping up every last drop

so

find me here

open your strawberry eyes

and take a gander

at the misfortune

that surrounds me

like a bad habit

aura

like nicotine fingers

in your army green panties

feeling my way around

the Braille clitoris

rubbing for the moan

the sound of you

coming closer to

the finish line

while

the band ends its march

across your bedroom floor

and the tuba player

puts his hands up

in the stale air

as the trumpeter

pulls the trigger

and to the surprise

of everyone

it is

I

who

lands on the floor

with a bloody

thump

signaling

the end

of this once

proud family man

and the ropes are

torn off the ring

and the bell

chimes loud

echoing in the

frosted January

air

Draft Dodger Rag by Phil Ochs

This great protest song is taken from the I Ain't Marching Anymore collection.

Slippery People by Talking Heads (LIVE)

Taken from the soundtrack to one of the greatest rock movies ever made, Stop Making Sense.  I was lucky enough to see them live during this tour at the Broome County Arena in Binghamton, NY and was too young to really appreciate it...14  or 15 years old. I still have the T-shirt though and it is pretty cool.  Anyway, enjoy the tune and the photography is done by the great Man Ray.

Buckingham Green (Poem Version) by Ween

This is an outtake from the Chocolate and Cheese session (though the finished tune turned up on The Mollusk record) and it includes a fantastic poem read by Gener in the middle. If you are a lover of all things Brown then you'll certainly dig this very much.

Artwork by the great Larry Carlson. Enjoy.

Polythene Pam by The Beatles *Demo*

This is a demo version of the Abbey Road classic recorded by John lennon in 1968. This can be found on the Beatles Anthology record Volume 2.

Hunger (A Poem) by Kevin Heyne

Read along with me...follow the bouncing ball.


There is a
Hunger
Inside
Of me that needs
To get out

I stare into
Her photographic
Eyes
For hours at a time

Some call me crazy
Off the mark and
Full of monkey
Bananas

But they just don’t
Understand
How I feel
About it
All

She gives me a hunger
In my soul
That needs to be
Addressed

I would settle for
A hand in hand
Moment
Or perhaps
A side by side
Movie marathon
On her sofa

I’ll take
Anything,
Anything to fill this
Void up

This empty
Pocket
In the back of my
Heart

And her voice
That shines with S E X
Slithers around my ears
Fills my head with
Such strong desire
That I have to laugh at it’s
Strong power that it holds
Over me

I could look at this
Angel until the very
End of time
And I would never miss
The opportunity
To simply open her
Car door for her
Every time

I want this woman
To feed me daily
Every time the clock
Hits the 24 mark

And no one will
Ever get it
That’s fine with me
So long as
She
She gets it

I believe she does

I’m going to
Stick around much
 Longer
Than I had planned

Just to see
What is going to
Happen
Next

Will she put those
Lips to mine?
That hand to fall into
My warm palm? 

There is a
Hunger
Inside
Of me that needs
To get out

And she gets it
She really does

God bless her

May she always be
My delicious
Baby doll
The one I will
Taste forever

In my mouth
On my tongue

Simply just
All around
Me

I couldn’t ask
For more

Let the feast begin
Honey

Ok?
