When it all ends up …
The trees were draped with an astonishing assortment of household goods: jackets, tires, chairs, bicycles. It became something of a contest to see who could find the most amazing item in the branches. Except for an occasional Humvee full of National Guard members and some Spanishspeaking workers, we were the only people in the area. It was eerily still. (A New Orleans Times-Democrat account of the Mississippi flood of 1882 described this sort of post-diluvian silence as “the quiet of dissolution.”) Near the town of Empire, two fishing boats, the Sea Falcon and the Sea Wolf, both a hundred and fifty feet long, had landed across all four lanes of Highway 23. - Watermark

The Coral (2003)
note: It’s burning summer blues, cowpunk. Something slow, but not mellow. Blues but not sad. Slow burn, perfect to listen while fighting 4 pounds of crawfish and a big cup of sweetened tea. Maybe yelling at TV for all the wrong things that goes on in the world. The war, the oil spill, the recession, neighbor’s dog and the clunking fridge.
Nice stuff, great selection.
Listen to The Coral always make me happy :D
nice, nice, nice. i love your posts
Holly Golightly’s a favorite of this blog. I might have to check her out.
David: squashed owes her money and I think they even dated some years ago so that’s the least we can do. She’s quite fun.

Hey, watch it, or I will tell about when you were mysteriously missing in europe with that band guitarist for a week. Kahlo will back me up. :P
Heya David. Don’t mind Moka. She is stirring some trouble. Holy Golightly? She does that vibrato -less country rock ballad like Patsy Cline, except she is in London. That strong steady voice. Not many people can do it in haunting way.
Holly Golightly (born Holly Golightly Smith, 1966, London) is a British singer-songwriter. She was the girlfriend of Thee Headcoats’ drummer Bruce Brand, and after an impromptu singing performance joined the all-girl garage band Thee Headcoatees, staying with the band for four years until 1995. For her solo career, she draws from rhythm and blues, rockabilly, and sounds of the 1960s or earlier. She has released thirteen studio albums of her own and has collaborated with other artists, such as Billy Childish, Rocket from the Crypt and The White Stripes.
She performed two songs on the soundtrack of the movie Broken Flowers: “There Is an End (Featuring Holly Golightly)” by The Greenhornes & Holly Golightly (which can also be found on the Greenhornes’ album Dual Mono), and “Tell Me Now So I Know” by Holly Golightly (found on the album Truly She Is None Other), which is a song originally written by English singer/songwriter Ray Davies of The Kinks. She is also a collector of rare old songs which she often covers.

The Greenhornes started life as a high school band based in Dearborn County, Indiana (20 miles west of Cincinnati) called Us and Them, self-releasing a four-track tape. Originally a five piece that included guitarist Brian Olive (who later departed to play with the Toledo-based Soledad Brothers under the alias Oliver Henry) and keyboardist Jared McKinney, The Greenhornes debuted in 1998, issuing their first bit of music on a single, “The End of the Night” backed with “No More,” released by Deary Me Records. The following year they released their first full-length album, Gun For You.[1] A self-titled LP followed in 2001. 2002’s Dual Mono[2] came after the departure of Olive and McKinney and included guitarist and vocalist Eric Stein, currently guitarist and vocalist of The Griefs. By 2003, the band was down to Fox, Lawrence, and Keeler. 2005 saw the release of East Grand Blues, an EP for V2 Records, which was produced by Detroit musician Brendan Benson. It was quickly followed by the compilation Sewed Soles. The band’s collaboration with Holly Golightly, “There Is an End”, was the theme song of Jim Jarmusch’s 2005 film, Broken Flowers.

============
(This movie has a really quirky music for a comedy. )
Don Johnston (Bill Murray), a former Don Juan having made a small fortune in the computer industry, wants to live in quiet retirement. He is content to lounge around watching old movies and listening to classical music. His current girlfriend, Sherry (Julie Delpy), is ending their relationship and moving out of his house when a letter in a pink envelope arrives. After she walks out, Don reads the letter; it purports to be from an unnamed former girlfriend, informing him that he has a 19-year-old son who may be looking for him. Initially, Don doesn’t intend to do anything about it, but his busybody neighbor Winston (Jeffrey Wright), who is a mystery novel enthusiast, urges Don to investigate. Winston researches the current locations of the five women most likely to have written the letter and gives Don the information along with maps and flight reservations, and urges him to visit them. Don finally agrees and Winston tells Don that he will drive him to the airport the next morning.
