In the Pink

All others are mere imitations. It's twue!

I was reminded of this fact when replying to a thread elsewhere on the site, regarding sad songs, or rather, songs we play when we're sad.

I contributed Joe Jackson's "Slow Song", which has put me in the mood for more Joe. Understandably -- as the title of this blog post not-so-gently hints, I'm a bit of a fan. I saw him play live a couple of years ago at Zappa in Tel Aviv, and it was, bar none, one of the best concerts I've ever been to, ever.

And that includes Dire Straits. Ashkara concert, it was.

Here, for your enjoyment, and to wish y'all a happy Wednesday, is some more Joe.

Two clips: "You can't get what you want (till you know what you want)", and "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" which was unbelievable, when played live, btw. *Seriously* amazing.

Enjoy, people!
