the-theme-is

A group music blog of weekly themes. Each week, the moderator will pick a new theme and the members will post songs that fit, especially rare gems others may have not heard before.

We will call attention to forgotten gems and songs that have stood the test of time!

(We wish to stand out from the other blogs out there with this collection of rarities.)

“Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.” — Zhuangzi

The world of our dreams is more malleable and mysterious than that of our waking life, but also by turns more pleasant and more frightening. It’s also a whole other world to write songs about.

Found this while searching for the Julie London track.
1. Didn’t know ANS could sing (she can’t)
2. Have never seen anything recorded by her (until now)
3. She could speak French?
4. Can’t resist campy, nutting cover songs (must find more ANS)
