MUSIC: Man, Do You Move Me.

My friend didn't want to go alone to go buy LP's the other evening and I even told him buying music is a very alone thing to do ---but alas, he dragged me out and we went to AMOEBA MUSIC in Hollywood --- a music lover's wet dream. This place has EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING. New music. Used music. Dusty ol' LP crates that make your fingers gray after flippin' thru half a crate. Foreign movies. Bargain DVD's. And Winamp listening stations. Anyways... we were there for about 2 hours I'd say.... my friend left with prolly $200 of LP's and I left buying the ALFIE SOUNDTRACK (don't hate, it's produced my Mick Jagger -- how wimpy could it be?), Joss Stone Soul Sessions (she's flippin awesome ...at age 17!) and Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone (Yo-Yo plays the cello and Morricone is a magnificent movie composer and this cd is unbelievable).

Anyways, I know I've written blogs-a-many about music or lyrics, but, for the love of god, music is incredible with its powers to move a person emotionally and change a crap day into a good day. And it's quite lovely how my fav instruments -- piano, guitar and violin can combine to make heaven: heaven also = vanilla bean cheesecake as well.

Anyways, music is heaven and I have an insatiable appetite for good music...foood...and foood..and my choice of movies and tv. So crank up the 5.1 surround, jump your bottom onto the couch, make a permanent indentation, pop open a bottle of wine, whip up some good grub and sit back...cuz this is undoubtfully.... La Dolce Vita.
