There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lux and Ivy's Favorites (mp3s)

Ok, I got kind of sick of repeating this story 1000 times. So figured I'd include this in the latest volume. I'm the guy who compiles the Lux and Ivy's Favorites Compilations.

It started as a way to keep track of some of the songs Lux, and or Ivy, mentioned in THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC BOOK. It was never really intended as anything but a way for a friend of mine and me to have 2 really kick ass compilations.

So we went about the arduous process of finding all the songs mentioned in that interview. It took a loooong time. We used the file sharing program, Napster, as well as our own personal collections. So, one thing lead to another and when word got around that these compilations were out there, they started being traded from fan to fan to fan. So, at some point I decided to put them up on Napster and let anyone who wanted them have them. As the years went buy, more interviews with Lux and Ivy kept popping up, and the list of songs they mentioned got longer and longer. This resulted in new volumes.

Long story short - this blog post has 11 volumes of awesome music, with about 11 songs per volume. Get 'em while they're hot!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

RIP Blossom Dearie.

Our wings are not tired.

Awwww, the guy I almost married back in 1995 turned me on to Blossom. She was "our" singer.

Awww, nice obit on Blossom though it manages to miss her contributions to Schoolhouse Rock, (like, "Unpack Your Adjectives").

I've always loved her versions of "The Party's Over," "Peel Me A Grape" and "Little Jazz Bird."

Don't forget "Figure 8"! That's one of my favorites.

True! A very pretty melody by Dorough on that one.

Huh, I hadn't realized that Blossom Dearie was her 'real' name.

Thanks, Tom! I got 'em all.

New fav from that batch: "Satan Takes A Holiday" - Anton Lavey.

It's jaunty.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Is that "Satan Takes a Holiday" a remake of the Tommy Dorsey song? The TD song has long been a favorite.

I don't know. Probably - its an instrumental.

Do you want me to post it?
