Notes
from Kim:
These
are 3 songs out of around 10 that I played
on June 26, 2006 on
"The
Little Lighthouse," a great
weekly show hosted by Stanislav Žabić
on
KUTE (this is the University of Utah station
in Salt Lake City,
Utah
– Stanislav has since moved to
Cleveland and the show's on hiatus).
You
can hear my whole deal, warts and all, at the show's website.
Beach
Boys
Every Night
(Simpson)
This
is a song I wrote in 1997 after having
three separate dreams -three nights in a row -
about
hanging out with the mid-sixties Beach
Boys and being privy to Brian's confidential
hopes
and fears. One day
I'll try to figure out vocal parts and work out a
musical arrangement
that'll
make you think of "Kiss Me
Baby."
Gledam
te
gledaš me
(Djavoli)
I
sing this song in Croatian which I learned to
speak once upon a time. Djavoli
(the Devils) are kind of
like
a Croatian Beach Boys – they're from
the coast and they're rather fixated on
mid-20th century
Americana.
This song is from the late '80s and the refrain says,
roughly, "I'm
looking at you,
you're
looking at me, so what the hell are we
waiting for?"
The
Fire
of
Love
(Jody Reynolds)
Jody
Reynolds is one of the darkest and moodiest
of all the late fifties rockabilly heroes.
His
"Endless
Sleep" is so strange and
twisted that it's almost holy. "The Fire of Love" is another
one
of my favorites of his. This
version doesn't do the man a lick
of justice, but people need to be allowed to
pay
tribute to their idols now and again, don't
you think?
