Hey, Sister Moon, are you coming round soon?
Hey, Sister Moon, in your midnight blue

So groove on, Sister, groove on, Sister Moon
Groove on, my baby, groove on, groove on, Sister Moon

Santa Claus is getting down - Jesse Ed Davies


I've cut loose my reindeer
Took the sack off my back
Now I do want my cruising
In a long black Cadillac
You'd better behave like a good little girl
Climb up here in Santa's lap

Let's hang your pretty stockings
before we start to fool around
You'd better behave like a good little girl
Santa Claus is getting down

Άστρο του πρωινού - Νίκος Παπάζογλου


Διασκευή του Θανάση Παπακωνσταντίνου πάνω σε ένα τραγούδι των Ινδιάνων Pawnee της Β. Αμερικής, μεταφρασμένο από τον Άρη Δικταίο.

Άστρο θαμπό του πρωινού
για χάρη σου αγρυπνούμε
και τούτη η μέρα ας μας βρει
μ' αυτούς που αγαπούμε
άστρο του πρωινού

Led Zeppelin, pre-Zeppelin:

Jim's Blues / George Wallace is Rollin' in This Mornin' - PJ Proby


This track is notable not just for the inclusion of Jimmy Page, but for featuring the entire lineup of Led Zeppelin before they even recorded their first album. John Paul Jones had been enlisted to arrange and play on Proby's Three Week Hero album months before he joined up with Page, Robert Plant and John Bonham to form the New Yardbirds. When the date came up for this session, rather than blow it off, he apparently decided instead to ask his new bandmates if they wouldn't mind lending a hand, a request to which they readily agreed. This wasn't exactly Page's first go-around with P.J. Proby, either: The guitarist had worked with him years before on his 1964 Top 10 hit "Hold Me."

Unlike many of the sessions that Page sat in on during his early career, this one comes the closest to approximating the sound that would come to define most of his work with Led Zeppelin. With Plant's added harmonica part, and the slow, bluesy tempo and feel, the track actually bears a striking resemblance to Zeppelin's cover of the Muddy Waters classic "You Shook Me." (It should also be pointed out that the Jim named in the song's title isn't Page, but rather Proby himself, who was born James Marcus Smith.)

La Mort - My Death

...
La Mort - Jacques Brel


La mort m'attend comme une vieille fille
Au rendez-vous de la faucille
Pour mieux cueillir
Le temps qui passe

La mort m'attend comme une princesse
A l'enterrement de ma jeunesse
Pour mieux pleurer
Le temps qui passe

La mort m'attend comme Carabosse
A l'incendie de nos noces
Pour mieux rire
Du temps qui passe

Mais qu'y a-t-il derrière la porte
Et qui m'attend déjà
Ange ou démon qu'importe
Au devant de la porte il y a toi

La mort attend sous l'oreiller
Que j'oublie de me réveiller
Pour mieux glacer
Le temps qui passe

La mort attend que mes amis
Me viennent voir en pleine nuit
Pour mieux se dire que
Le temps passe

La mort m'attend dans tes mains claires
Qui devront fermer mes paupières
Pour mieux quitter
Le temps qui passe

Mais qu'y a-t-il derrière la porte
Et qui m'attend déjà
Ange ou démon qu'importe
Au devant de la porte il y a toi

La mort m'attend aux dernières feuilles
De l'arbre qui fera mon cercueil
Pour mieux clouer
Le temps qui passe

La mort m'attend dans les lilas
Qu'un fossoyeur lancera sur moi
Pour mieux fleurir
Le temps qui passe

La mort m'attend dans un grand lit
Tendu aux toiles de l'oubli
Pour mieux fermer
Le temps qui passe

Mais qu'y a-t-il derrière la porte
Et qui m'attend déjà
Ange ou démon qu'importe
Au devant de la porte il y a toi



My Death - David Bowie at his final gig as Ziggy Stardust, Hammersmith Odeon, 3 July 1973

Translated by Mort Shuman

My death waits like an old roué
So confident I'll go his way
Whistle to him
And the passing time

My death waits like a Bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
Weep loud for that
And the passing time

My death waits like a witch at night
And surely as our love is bright
Let's not think about
The passing time

But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door
There is you

My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world through an unlit mind
Throw him a dime
For the passing time

My death waits there between your thighs
Your cool fingers will close my eyes
Let's think of that
And the passing time


My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
So let's drink to that
And the passing time


But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door
There is you

My death waits there among the leaves
In magicians' mysterious sleeves
Rabbits and dogs
And the passing times

My death waits there among the flowers
Where the blackest shadow cowers
Let's pick lilacs
For the passing time

My death waits there in a double bed
Sails of oblivion at my head
So pull up the sheets
Against the passing time

But whatever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door
There is...


Thank you._




To celebrate David Bowie's 68th birthday this year, artist Helen Green made this very fun illustration of David Bowie showing him change throughout the years in animated GIF form. Bowie has inhabited so many different hairstyles and faces and styles that he almost looks like a different person each time.




Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time



You can see the individual faces in black and white here.
