St. John, The Gambler.

Midnight. Sabina and Srin had returned to their hostel and I had just plugged in my iPod. Srin gave me a cigarette before she left. I wanted to smoke it after I had completed my work assignments for the day. Shuffle mode is quite freaky. Out of nowhere, and for the first time ever, it started playing Townes Van Zandt's 

St. John  the Gambler, from the In Bruges OST. 

 Please listen to it. 
You'll know why I had to pause, find a place to sit and finish my last cigarette while it played.
It's THAT good. Seriously.

I like the Beatles, but...

.. but then I discovered some obscure bands from the same era. One of these bands was Small Faces. won't make it a long posting about their bio or where they originated. They're Brit. That's enough. Listen to this song and tell me they're not cool. I dare you!

it's called Itchycoo Park. watch it here.

(Any other similar bands, people? I'm sure there are many, but I love recommendations.)
