Well, I mistakenly sent No.0 just the Cheap Flights one, which must have confused him. So I've tried again. ;)


... Okay, and I've found an intelligible version of the one he sent me back (for no reason I could discern), and finally listened all the way to the end -- this one's for all our Welsh neighbours!

Just too à propos here right now -- old boyfriend guitarist No.0 has been sending me music since he visited. He's like this hugely expert music person. He wants me to listen to this Mozart piece and hear how O Canada was sampled from it. I listen and after a minute I realize my eyes have glazed over, and really I just could not care less anyway.

What I do like is 20s German cabaret, and Kurt Weill and Berthold Brecht, and Lotte Lenya, and all them, and Marlene Dietrich too, and apart from the Stones, those are the musical performances I've seen that I've really liked: Mother Courage, and Brecht/Weill recitals I've chanced upon.

But it's not like you can't satirize it all fairly easily, heh.

So I've sent No.0 that one. ;)

Ahh Rose now I am with you ...yes that is definately 'risque'. I haven't come across them before, and the song almost sounded like a conversation that we have heard daily from here.

No doubt somebody will listen to it and complain, as they do.
