Listening Post

Sax player John Lurie's acid-jazz consortium, The Lounge Lizards, made some of my favorite music during the late 80s and early 90s. It was clever; it was beautiful; it was totally adventurous and often outright weird. The Lounge Lizards incorporated elements of blues, rock, African rhythms and, of course, jazz.

The result was usually noirish, gaslight mood music -- the kind of thing you'd listening to while crawling through city streets and alleys well after midnight.

This song fits that description perfectly.

Here's The Hanging.
