Then you need some late night music, and I have it for you.

No, it isn't No.2, but it's No.2's guitar idol.

Turn the lights down.

But you're all supposed to go give Bruce Cockburn a play at youtube there. ;)

Any boys in the vicinity, play it for the nearest girl, and just make sure you're standing close when she swoons. ;)

Ooookay, Dizzi, if Dizzee Rascal is your idea of late night music, you do different things late at night from what I do. ;)

Yow.


James Morrison, will have a look. We're not talking Jim here? Now there's some late night music any boy around can play me anytime.

No luck with that James Morrison tune at youtube I'm afraid, so you'll just have to settle for my Jim and the boys, and one of the best for late night.

And Footie ... ........................





he's a Christian. ;) I don't know him, but I know his sister-in-law.

You must have heard the one song of his I can't abide (partly from total overexposure):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Lpx6JIMmk

... and I'm wondering wehre the &%$# lions are ...

More to my taste:

If I had a rocket launcher.

Powerful amazing song about the horrors committed by dictatorships around the world (some of which he has witnessed) and how he feels about them.

I know nothing of Michael Bublé (I refuse to listen to commercial radio), but happened to see him on Saturday Night Live this weekend, and he 's quite clever!

Good grief.

Back to PM's wives ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bubl%C3%A9

In 2000, Bublé's career breakthrough came from a surprising chain of events. Michael McSweeney saw Bublé's performance at a business party[12] and received a copy of Bublé’s self-financed independent album from Bublé. McSweeney, an aide to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, showed the album to Mulroney and his wife. Subsequently, Bublé was invited to sing at the wedding of Mulroney's daughter Caroline, where he sang Kurt Weill's "Mack the Knife". At the wedding, Bublé was introduced to David Foster, a multi-Grammy Award winning producer and record executive who had worked previously with artists such as Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Céline Dion, Barbra Streisand, Kenny G., Cher, Josh Groban, and Andrea Bocelli.


He just lost me. Singing at a Brian Mulroney offspring wedding, nope, that's beyond the pale.

The Mulroney wedding was to a Lewis Lapham offspring, and that was a factor in Harpers Magazine losing me too. ;)

And insult to injury, it was a Kurt Weill song he sang. Well, at least it was my very least favourite Kurt Weill song ... unless it's done as it was meant to be done, which isn't as a lounge ditty.

Yup.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm9dn5ftX0M

As the commenter says:

"Buble ruined this song singing it...Let him stick to singing schlock" ;)


How it *should* be done:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPG9GcykPIY

by the great Lotte Lenya.

Ute Lemper is the well-known Weill interpreter I saw perform

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZygpDWk12A

and that's dreadful.

Oh my, I've found Brecht himself doing it! But I know I'm the only one who would appreciate that. ;)

Somewhere, I actually have the 1931 movie of Threepenny Opera on tape, I think. I ordered it and lost it before I ever watched it ...
