I feel like wallowing in the depression of Sunday night. I hate Sunday nights. I'm terribly melancholy at the moment, and I can't seem to pull myself out of it. I tried to cheer myself by looking at tea cups and saucers on EBay, but I didn't find anything I want.
You know, I desperately want to love film noir movies. Really, I do. Maybe I've just got off on the wrong foot with the genre? Does anyone know a thing about them? Can someone recommend me some titles? I'm not big on Hitchcock, but I don't know if he can be considered film noir. Something not like Hitchcock would be good.
Instead of trying to make myself feel better about going to work tomorrow, I'm listening to Evie Sands. I adore her so much. Half the time, I think I was born in the wrong decade when it comes to music.
"I Can't Let Go" was originally Evie's, but The Hollies covered it and made it a big hit in the U.K. I don't think even their version went over as well in the U.S., but poor Evie's flopped in both locations, which is a crime. Her recording is gorgeous.
What the crap happened in the 1970's? The soul music genre morphed into some sort of smooth soundtrack to a roller skating movie. It turns my stomach, and I always go back to the raw stuff from the '50s and '60s.
