Commentary, observation & levity to help release the pressure from living in the city that never sleeps. Together we stand in defiance trussed up in our Urban Girdles...

Sandy, Sexy Visions Fluttering by...
On occasion I see in my minds eye the video of a song that grips my imagination. My current obsession is Lady Gaga's, "Americano". AMERICANO - Lady Gaga She describes the record as "a big mariachi techno-house record, where I am singing about immigration law and gay marriage and all sorts of things that have to do with disenfranchised communities in America".
As a kid I was mesmerized by old movies a gift from my mother and the lazy Sunday afternoon. This song immediately brought back in glorious Technicolor Tyrone Power & Rita Hayworth in Blood & Sand. While bull fighting is not something I support in anyway, it is one of those dangerous taboo's that is fraught with sexual tension. Between man and beast, between the matador and the crowd, so I see this updated love story playing out on the sands of some dusty forgotten arena. The costuming alone is making me quiver with excitement & possibility which is odd considering I only shop at Old Navy. I also think Eva Mendes should play Lady Gaga’s love interest, “I met a girl in east LA, In floral shorts as sweet as May, She sang in eights in two-bar chords, We fell in love, but not in court”.
So I'm just putting it out there...as part of my video wish list.
I’m also available for consultation on tracks 6 & 7.
