Late Night (got K?)


Eerily dark and hallucinatory ambient album from 90s acid house un-conventionalists KLF. David Lynch-esque portrayal of a mythical night-time journey through the US south, interlaced with sounds and echoes, trains in the night, thunder, Elvis on the radio, teaspoons clinking against the cup edge, bar glasses shaking in a tremor.Incredibly sensory and emotive, this is the fear and loathing of a drug dreamworld.
Don't turn all the lights off.

Bye Bye Birdie - Ann Margret


Well ever since Elvis’ would be 75 birthday,I must admit I got a liiiiittle bit obssesed by bingeing on all the programmes shown on I-Player just before going to sleep at night, and I even started dreaming about him and explaining 'MEN' to all those unfortunate to listen by analysing Elvis and his love life.Well anyway, this post is NOT about Evis per se (though more of that to come), it's about his co-star from the film 'Viva Las Vegas', Miss Ann Margret. If you watch Mad Men,you will recognise this clip from the beginning of 'Bye Bye Birdie' where an infuriatingly adorable 'men's girl' Ann Margret sings the title song in a sugarific cutesy way, prompting Peggy Olson to jealously dismiss her as a 25 year old acting 14.
Anyway, here she is being cute as a button, and here is a great track sung with Elvis called 'You're the boss'.
