Some nights like this i want your dark side, big time baby

 

I'll be the big black owl on your skin, we'd play reversable roles

Nous étions jeunes et larges d'épaule

Drum tuning 2.0

Tour van music #22 You ain't lived till you've had your tires rotated

Yeah well tight skirt, strawberry hair
Tell me what you've got baby, waiting under there
Big green eyes that look like sun
They can see every cheap thing that you ever done

Well I don't care how many girls you've dated, man
You ain't lived till you've had your tires rotated

By a red headed woman
Whoa a red headed woman
Well a red headed woman
Sure can get the job done

Well now all you girls out there tonight sure look fine
But my heart and soul and this body of mine

Is a red headed woman's
Belongs to a red headed woman
Yeah a red headed woman
Sure gets the dirty job done
Amen

Whoaaa...

LA Countdown #3 Everything reminds me of her

Some records that i deeply cherish were made by Rob Schnapf. Here are a few of them

Disquaire day

With bandmates Belin & Morali in a studio that used to be an erotic movie shooting set in the 70's. 3 new songs out for record store day

Countdown #3 "i'm feeling nice in your white car"

Purple nights and yellow days
Neon signs in Silverlake
LA took a part of me
LA gave this gift to me

So, drive me down Sunset Boulevard
I'm feeling nice in your white car
Playing Hanoi Rocks and Social D
My sweetest angel set me free
My sweetest savior rescued me

Won't you whisper in my ear?
You look so good against my mirror
And you're my baby full of joy
You're my erotic brown eyed toy
You're my exotic red haired toy

Slipping letters under the door
Leave candy wrappers round my floor
And take me out of here round the canyons
Where the pavement meets the sand
Where the boardwalk creatures stand

So, drive down Beverly Drive
Where my room's lit up all night
I've been so lonely in this bed
It's good to sleep with you instead
It's good to talk all night instead

Morning pours the ocean deep
Into the hollow of my sleep
But the ocean can't be mine
Your perfection can't be mine

So, drive me down the 405
Where my airplane leaves tonight
I'm tipping up and touching down
Leave LA sparkling on the ground

LA glitters on the ground
LA sparkles on the ground
LA glitters on the ground
LA sparkles on the ground

L.A Countdown #2 "I like your style"

Another version of L.A as the coolest playground, and for sure, one of my favorite movie.
How come they could write a story like this one? i guess we'll never figure it out.

Recording Countdown: L.A in a month now

L.A is in a month now.
Inspiring city. Some of my favortie writers, poets, musicians & film makers used the city as a playground, and had this intense relationship with the town.

Here's one of them doing a little tour of Hollywood

I want to give back all the songs that i have stolen

On reprend la route quand tu veux.

Tu voulais revoir ça.

C'est là, devant toi.

PALMTREES BLUES

H-BURNS' new album will be produced by ROB SCHNAPF ( Elliott Smith, Guided by voices, Beck etc etc) in April, in Los Angeles, California.

He produced a couple of my all time favourite records, so it goes without saying i'm really pleased we get to work together on these new songs.

Work in progress

Working on a special record With Bertrand Belin & Jonathan Morali. Details soon, hopefully some music Will be ready for Record Store day // en session studio avec les camarades Belin et Morali, pour un projet si tout va bien prêt pour le disquaire day.
