Your Eyes Are Two Blind Eagles That Kill What They Can't See.

I just want to post about Art Ensemble of Chicago.

I wish this video wasn't so skinny. I wish it didn't cut the song off at 5:37. But that didn't prevent me from listening to it six times today.



I'm interested in seeing the film that used the AEOC's album, Les Stances A Sophie, for a soundtrack, if only because they make an appearance in the movie. Here's an overly covered song from that album (it is also the source of the title of this post):



The film's another story about an uptight man set free from squaredom by a spirited, life affirming woman.

Remember these other ones?





Something Wild--Demme is coming up a lot lately.




Bringing Up Baby




Annie Hall



Crazy/Beautiful (Jules, this one's like something we'd see in the theater--which I did.)



My Fair Lady




Along Came Polly


Thanks for the tips, Lisa!

AEOC rules, and if Obama really wanted to shake things up, he'd have *them* playing at the inauguration!

i'd be remiss to not endorse AEOC's seminal disc 'nice guys' as one you should add to your collection, if you don't already have it.
