deserts and liquer


My friends were is town this weekend and found that Jack Daniels is a good shot to chase with pumpkin pie.
I wonder would Jim Beam be a better choice?
Well until the next Canadian Thanksgiving!

It's probably a cover: "Without You"


Any fan of The Rules of Attraction the 2002 film about getting to know your self while being young adult surrounded by other soul searchers. The movie is brilliant and does not leave any part of college life to the imagination.

While in high school my friend Jess did a project on the film in particular the scene with the invisible girl killing herself in the dorm handicap bathroom. I remember watching this scene over and over again discussing the project, but really what sticks in your head after that haunting scene is the song playing in the background.

"Without you" originally written by the inspiring Badfinger was not given much attention until Harry Nilsson ( my current obsession) recorded it. With the scene featuring the Nilsson's version makes the girl in the scene an instant protagonist of the film. I feel it is in large part because of the raw emotion of the simple song if you look at the lyrics.

In conclusion I must say I enjoy the Nilsson cover version more then the original, but don't just take my word for it.

Wolfman Jack..maybe better then Delilah







My father was nice enough to drive me back to Ontario's capital. He ended up staying a couple of days to complete some fatherly tasks. Luckily as a result of that Grace (my wireless radio)works perfectly. I have been enjoying 1150 AM Hamilton Ontario's Oldies station, which I highly recommend.

Not only do they play Melanie, but they feature the old recordings of Wolfman Jack. With his hypnotizing moans and the colorful characters that call in. The recording also include interviews with many recording artists in the 60's and 70's, and I he is the legendary voice that narrated American Graffiti. Now being a fan of Delilah for years its hard to say who just engrosses me into their radio vortex more. I will have to get back to you on that. To enjoy Wolfman Jack or Delilah here are their websites for you to also catch them on the radio waves

Lastly I have to say though listening to Wolfman Jack on Saturday nights from 6pm-11pm is becoming a highlight of my weekends.

Video II: Daydream

Mama Stone Vintage Video Part 2: "Daydream" from mamastonevintage on Vimeo.



The second video from Mama Stone Vintage. I hope everyone enjoys little tune called DayDream from the 1968 EMI album called Laughing Cavalier from Wallace Connection. This was their first and only hit selling over 20 million copies.

I own the 1998 release of Laughing Cavalier that includes bonus songs along with their most popular songs in French as well. If you would like a copy let know! I find their music more psychedelic pop and fun for the whole family.

Connections: Carole King and The Monkees






After doing some researching I found that that track in the video below is the title track from "Head" the Monkee's movie. If that surprises you then you haven't experienced that Monkee's because they are not just a saturday morning comedy. Porpoise head ( the title of the track)I found out is co- written by none other then Carole King. Who's album Tapestry is brilliant and so empowering to all people. I suggest you pick your self up a copy now!!

I also found out my favorite Monkee's tune "As we go along" is also co-written by Carole King, and people like Carly Simon better pssh. Thank you Carole!!
