IT'S YOU THAT I ADORE
Pretty little plaything 
You walked into my door
Exactly like a hundred 
other playthings did before

You wanted to be noticed 
It's safe to say you were
Unlike the hundred other souls 
who for my love do burn

Of all the pretty creatures 
you're the one that I live for
There's no other way to say 
It's you that I adore

Transcendental beauty 
but made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Tell me that you feel it 
say that you’ll be mine
I’ll kneel before you on the floor
and beg a thousand times

Of all the perfect beings 
you're more perfect than the rest
There's no other way to say 
it's you that I love best

Transcendental beauty 
But made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Janine LevinsOn w/mOag - it's yOu that I adOre

Jimmy stood upright, stomach sucked slightly concave, lips gently pursed as he admired his full length reflection in the hallway of the Woodlands Hotel. He had treated himself to a new, snug running jersey, matching shorts and trainers. He looked briefly left and right, checking he wasn't observed and adjusted the inner-liner elastic around his groin, which had snagged and ridden up into a pinching diagonal. He dipped into four deep squats, and then shadow boxed in the mirror, finishing a combination with a looping right hook, which overbalanced him slightly and tweaked his ankle. He adjusted the elastic again...front and back this time.

"More comfortable, Sir?"
Jimmy let out a yelp and reddened a little. He turned sharply to see a large, flamboyantly dressed older lady, in a pink and gold lamé shellsuit, a huge meringue of peroxide hair, scarlet-lipped and navy eye-shadowed.

"See ya out there Sonny" she said as she shimmered past and broke into a lumbering trot out of the main entrance and into the woods.

Jimmy set his stopwatch, retied his laces, screwed his earphones into his ears and set off. There was only one route into the woods. Jimmy intended quickly accelerating past Liberace's Mum and running hard in the pure woodland air. He powered through the first 300 yards and saw her vanishing around a bend in the road. She looked rather like an ice cream sundae from behind he though, then told himself not to be unkind and took the opportunity to break wind sharply whilst undetected.

As he leaned into the bend, travelling at impressive velocity, he looked up and she was gone.. he squinted into the distance and saw nothing..another bend maybe 200 yards away.. looked around..nothing.

He glanced at his watch..pulse was high, good pace. Settled into a steady rhythm..gouged again at his elastic. Time to appreciate the air, the pine scent, the peaceful, creaking, whispering trees. The hypnotic percussion of footstrike...Jeez..there she is! Shuffling and galumphing in the distance..how the..?

She disappeared around another bend. Jimmy's knees and elbows pumped higher and harder. Cut into the bend..relieved to see her, drew up alongside her, quietened his breathing a little, touched the peak of his hat as he passed

"Those shorts nipping, Sonny?"

Jimmy muttered to himself, irritated and a little embarrassed. He waited until she was out of sight, double checked and gave a savage yank at the elastic, both hands, at the front.

The next couple of miles were uneventful, save for the frequent need for adjustment and the cumulative effect of the sawing elastic against tender intimates. The last quarter mile and Jimmy discovered that slight bowleggedness gave some relief. A sign for the Hotel..the facade comes into view, then..she's there! Same four-inch lollop, turkey-winged elbows.. How? Impossible! A final, orchid-rasping sprint but he couldn't catch her.

Wheezing like a quarry cat, Jimmy went to the Reception Desk for his room key. The kindly gent, rosy-cheeked and twinkly eyed..like a shaved Santa..

"Nice run Sir?"
Jimmy nodded, too out of puff to answer
"Been out with the triplets, eh?"
Jimmy looked at him, bemused. He was looking into the bar room
Three identical versions each held up a cocktail glass and winked in unison.

Jimmy touched the peak of his hat, and could only smile
He looked back at the Receptionist

"Forgive me Sir, but I think you may have put your shorts on back to front"
Jimmy felt behind him and touched a drawstring.

"Will Sir require some talcum powder?"
Jimmy nodded minutely and took the elevator..the stairs, he was certain, would have drawn blood

Secrets | Van Halen

In memory of Eddie Van Halen, Rest In Peace...

In my quest for rediscovering Eddie Van Halen’s music, the music of my youth, I am choosing to make covers of the less obvious material, not the hits or typical guitar shredders choices. I prefer to explore the ones that in my view are cool songs, and also highlight Eddie talent as a songwriter. Of course making these covers pose to me the possibilities of really getting into Eddie’s unique and peculiar playing style when taking the lead. I would have loved to hear a full instrumental album from Eddie, the more so when you hear him experimenting in the studio (yes, there are some recordings where Ed and his brother are testing then new material) without the vocal parts. Songs like Girl Gone Bad are basically instrumentals with some Dave vocals added. Also most albums contain intros and instrumentals where Eddie shows us sneak peaks of his extended capabilities. Imagine a full album like that, maybe the music vault in his home studio is full of it...

Anyways, I am approaching these covers in that light, trying to play them in honor of Eddie as instrumentals, where I feel free to  use the playing style I loved and learned from him in my earliest years playing guitar. Thank you Eddie... For everything...

-Dan
