Usually, I just end up sending the little automatic emails from Amazon in the trash. Rarely do I get info about something I'd actually really buy. But today, today was a good day.
I've known about this for a couple months now, thanks to Eric. He hooked me up with the stellar A John Waters Christmas and I cannot wait to get my grubby little paws on this. I love the cover art: the flipped collar, the red work pastoral backdrop, that disco-era pink marquee lettering.
According to the Amazon.com promo blurb, the selections on A Date are "all romantic seduction music I would play if I had you over."
There are no media player snippets available for preview yet, but the track list looks fantastic.
| 1. Tonight You Belong to Me - Patience and Prudence |
| 2. Jet Boy Jet Girl - Elton Motello |
| 3. Ain't Got No Home - Clarence "Frogman" Henry |
| 4. I'd Love to Take Orders from You - Mildred Bailey, |
| 5. In Spite of Ourselves - Iris DeMent, John Prine |
| 6. All I Can Do Is Cry - Ike Turner, Tina Turner |
| 7. Big Girls Don't Cry - Edith Massey |
| 8. Imitation of Life - Earl Grant |
| 9. Sometimes I Wish I Had a Gun - Mink Stole |
| 10. Johnny Are You Queer? - Josie Cotton |
| 11. Night Time is the Right Time |
| 12. Hit the Road to Dreamland - Dean Martin |
| 13. If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake - Eileen Barton, |
| 14. Bewildered - Shirley & Lee |
I've heard the Edith Massey cover of "Big Girls Don't Cry," it defies description; I'm hoping Mink Stole's "Sometimes I Wish I Had a Gun" delivers as well.
In related news, CourTV (those bastids) have not aired the "'Til Death Do Us Part" series yet; there's no upcoming airdate listed or any info regarding the series' status. Despite the fact that they've posted a press release about the show.
