In Cars I Wish it Wasn't So

 Would you visit me please, if I open my door, would you visit tonight? In cars?

Fans of Awesomeness: The Raven

Ravens, and other crows, are amazingly intelligent animals. Plus, they are a lovely color and match any outfit. Ravens are awesome.

A Dedication from a Local Evil Doer, For LuLu

After the previous post the Wicked Witch of West Texas appeared in the crystal ball here in the Black Mansion, and she had this little ditty to pass on to LuLu. She claims it was filmed yesterday and performed by one of her dearest friends right here in West Texas, but somehow it seems familiar. And now a strange foreboding casts it's shadow on our deeply felt groove.

Song for Lu Lu- Groove IS in the Heart

The sky is bright and the sun is sunny, but hereabouts we're feeling funny. Lu was here and now the broom is gone. The witch is still mad but she's got it all wrong. She thinks it's out West, but her minions are failing and can't get it back in spite of her railing. The witch may find it but the odds are long, so Lu can dance to this little song. See ya soon, Lu Lu.

The Ultimate Night Swimming

From Here
We're quitting the Black Mansion for a swim with the sea sparkle in Victoria, Australia's Gippsland Lakes by week's end. Surely all that luminescing must be great for one's skin?

And Speaking of West, We Might Consider This:

Mae West sings "Twist and Shout." Who knew that Mae West recorded two rock and roll albums back in the late ’60s, in an effort to appeal to the younger generation? I didn’t until I tumbled head first into this gold mine of kitsch over at YouTube. It goes without saying this effort was a complete failure, but the results were actually pretty fantastic. Besides this cover of “Twist and Shout,” West also covered “Day Tripper,” “Rock Around the Clock,” “Treat Him Right,” "Light my Fire," and a fabulous rendition of “Great Balls of Fire.” This is good stuff, kids. Sadly, there's no actual video as far as I know, of her performing these songs, but that would just be too much to hope for. Here’s a bonus quote from Mae: Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

As always, my fellow denizens of dark forgotten places: don't get your sisters twisted.
