Joe Jackson - "Another World"

Joe Jackson and band on SNL in 1982 doing of one of his best tunes, "Another World". Love the percussion on this track and the energy in Joe's performance:

Joan Armatrading - "Down To Zero"

Here is a nice video of some classic Joan from 1979. Man, love me some Joan Armatrading! This is just one of a laundry list of her great songs....

"Sweet Jane" by Two Nice Girls

I dig this version of "Sweet Jane" by the late 80's-early 90's Austin group Two Nice Girls. Love the way they interpolate the great Joan Armatrading's "Love and Affection." I wish this version would have gotten the airplay that the Cowboy Junkies version did:

Recent Photos

Well, here are some recent photos I've liked and haven't used on the bloggy yet:

I love this shot Silvie got of Sammy. He looks like he's meditating.

Another meditating animal? I snapped this pic on my lunchbreak.

I started to clean out my closet and I found TWELVE pairs of jeans I haven't been wearing. All are either too small for me now or worn to the point that I should just get rid of them.

I picked up this Silk Hazelnut creamer on a whim at the store and now I think it's the Nectar of the Friggin' Gods. I drink it straight from the carton. (When I set the carton on a window ledge to get a pic, Little G jumped right up as if she wanted to be in the picture - I thought that was great, too. And then I remembered that her original name at the shelter was Silk!)

A Seattle fire boat in Lake Union. I snapped this in the park while walking to my car after work.
