About Me

Somewhere along this series of events we call life, I realized that music was, probably, the strongest element of my life. Somewhere in the series of mishaps I call an existence I learned that music was the greatest, finest, deepest love I have had or will ever have. Music has made me smile more than any man, woman or child.

Music is the key to my soul.

Music is the key to my love.

Music is the key to my life.

This blog is not meant as an initial or primary source for music news and information. If you've heard anything I write or post about before... great... nice... good for you. Don't expect me to give you a cookie.

What you may perceive as old news is new to me. This blog serves as my way of dissecting the influence the sound or the experience shaped on my life. It is my method of understanding how the music is shaping or has shaped me into the human being I currently am.
This blog isn't meant to teach you about the world of music. This blog is meant to teach you about the world of KayJay. This blog serves as the musical journal and journey of my life. This blog serves as the musical journey of my soul. This blog serves as the musical lessons of my life. This blog is to serve as document of the way music, in all it's magnificent and, at times, not so magnificent, glory touches and shapes my existence.

Welcome to my life. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I plan to.

Two Loves Combine To One Infinite Love

Did you know that this band:

Did this?

It's like someone took sleep and the ability to eat chocolate and combined them together into the greatest joy that life could ever ever ever EVER offer.

Goodness knows I have always had a fondness for Level 42, one of the funkiest blue-eye-souled Brit bands to command the eighties airwaves. You add the second funkiest television theme song to their credit (First, of course, being the theme song to Barney Miller) and it's all over. Stop the world I wanna get off 'cuz that's just way too much for my fully overworked and overloaded brain to take.

La Caution Is Le Missing

posted on April 28, 2009

I tend to hate it when things are missing. My keys. Marquis letters. Appropriate side dishes. Adorable little children.

So imagine my shock when I discovered the most intriguing song on the Ocean's Twelve soundtrack (aside from Yello Hammer's "Lazy" and Ornella Vanoni's "L'Appuntamento") was missing. I've let that go for years, allowing the disc to spin in it's entirety then imagining in my head the tricked out beat to the most infamous scene in the film.

Well, last week I decided I would have no more of that. I, finally - cuz I'm kinda lazy like that, went in search of the track that backed "Toulour's" mind-blowing laser dance. Turns out the song is entitled "Thé à la Menthe " by a French band named La Caution and the track is available for download on their MySpace page.

Now nothing is missing except my car keys and I feel slightly better. Stuck at home, but better.

Labels: La Caution, Laser Dance, Ocean's Twelve Soundtrack

In honor of the fabulous Bea Arthur. We miss you already, girl. You taught quite a few of us dames just how to be a ladies w/out compromising her womanhood.
