Happy 50th Birthday Mr. Mac the Mouth!

Sorry we have been listening

to far too much of The Fall

to be arsed with the whole

online publishing biz....

We were the loneliest sail boat adrift

Followed by only the wind and sea shift

We were the last boat to grasp sun

Warmed but cool sharing with no one

Silent as gulls had long since passed

Still as sail hung from worn mast

Won't you please swim to join us here

We will reach into blue raising you dear

Up aboard our solemn deck to rest

Thanking you for your diligent test

Now we could be two to share this light

Beholding all that the sea offers us in sight...

VIVA VIDAL!

We love this man here at the Chic Shack!
After reading his two part autobiography
and drifting through his vast literary output,
bumping in to his various film cameos, and here in an
interesting online doc,
we decided the world needs to pay more
attention to this holy scholar and wise sage!
Please educate yourself on his majesty!

SUCH GALL MR. MALLE!

Louis Malle was but 25 when he rocked the world with
his intimate portrait of one night of passion capturing

in his words "the honesty of a man and
woman together at night".
Most films in 1958 would barely even show a couple
embrace let alone entangled in adulterous erotic bliss.
The film was brought before the U.S. Supreme Court on

obscenity charges and a theater fined $2500 for showing it!
A haunting tale of discovery and spontaneity, Les Amants

brought international acclaim to leading actress

Jeanne Moreau whose portrayal as a woman bored with
not only her husband but her affair with a dashing

polo player. The Lovers is a must see friends!

Magritte's 1928 painting 'Les Amants' inspiration?

AND LA LA LA MEANS I LOVE YOU...

Springtime is as good of a time as any
to bust out some proper Liverpool lads tunes
from cult faves The La's!
Most famous for this song,
and completely absent for years until recent reunions

have brought back the dynamic, shall we say 'Power duo'

of John Power and Lee Mavers!

A sad story with a happy ending?
