Andy Timmons: "Cry for You"

Youtube added some "recommended for you" feature and this Andy Timmons video popped up.



Great recommendation! It's a great tune--just right for a guitar-dominated slow tune/ballad, comparable to Satch's "Always With Me, Always With You."

Shogun Assassin

I haven't watched a new film release for some time (my last visit to a movie theater was for the fourth Harry Potter film, if I remember correctly).

I have my favorites, though. One odd film, notable for its geysers of spurting blood well before video games and death metal made it commonplace, was Shogun Assassin.

Shogun Assassin was brilliantly cheesy once it had been dubbed into English. This trailer give a pretty good indication of the overall effect.



Those "Masters of Death" guys I figure are pretty much the same dudes that Jack Burton tangled with in "Big Trouble in Little China." Check them out in the trailer for comparison.



But back to "Shogun Assassin"--it's got one of those fabulous dubbed lines that can really stick in your memory. The assassin's son narrates their journey: "At night we listen for the ninja--who never make a sound."

Nifty music: "The Milky Way Home" by Sonny Landreth (featuring Eric Johnson)

I'm still agog over the excellentness of Amazon's mp3 download service. My last post about it had me enjoying music from King's X and trying to decide on my next music purchase.

The verdict is in, and the purchase was modest.

I bought Sonny Landreth's song "The Milky Way Home" since it's instrumental and features the superlative Eric Johnson. Landreth's playing is nothing to sneeze at, either. Landreth's tone nicely compliments Johnson's on this tune.

I don't recommend this thing by any stretch of the imagination. I just wanted to see what it looks like embedded in a blog post.



Feel free to ignore it.
