My new music related obsession
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs
The archives go back to the '40s! Every episode makes you fall in love with the castaway! I listened to Michael Caine today - he loves chill music!
I know it's just a crass, blatantly commercial, made up holiday, but...
I LOVE YOU, MUSIC CLUB! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Who's your fictional character crush?

Reading the article, I squealed with glee that one of the writers picked my avatar's counterpart as her fictional character crush - Robin Hood the foxy fox from the Disney movie! He's my number two. My number one? Mr. Spock.

Background on my "E" pick
“E Preciso Perdoar” (translated “One Must Forgive")
Performed by Cesária Évora, Caetano Emanuel Viana Teles Veloso and Ryuichi Sakamoto
Cesária Évora (Cape Verdean popular singer. Nicknamed the "Barefoot Diva" for performing without shoes, she was also the "Queen of Morna")
Caetano Emanuel Viana Teles Veloso, better known as Caetano Veloso, is a Brazilian composer, singer, guitarist, writer, and political activist. Veloso first became known for his participation in the Brazilian musical movement Tropicalismo which encompassed theatre, poetry and music in the 1960s, at the beginning of the Brazilian military dictatorship. He has remained a constant creative influence and best-selling performing artist and composer ever since.
Ryuichi Sakamoto is a Japanese musician, composer, record producer, writer, singer, pianist, and actor, based in Tokyo and New York. He began his career in 1978 as a member of the pioneering electronic music band Yellow Magic Orchestra where he played the keyboards and occasionally sang the vocals.

I hope the Russians love their children too. Ugh.
Frankly, the Sting picture makes me want to just quit this whole club.
Instead, I am officially announcing a New Project:
A Music Clubber Looks At 50
or
Pat's Top Fifty Ever
or
I Am So Stupid For Trying This.
Coming sometime this spring. Assume later rather than sooner.
