The Kills “The Last Goodbye” (via Nowness.com)
So I just finished reading Just Kids (which I highly recommend) and Patti Smith recounts many pictures taken in a Coney Island photo booth with Robert Mapplethorpe and so obviously this came immediately to mind as I watched this video of Alison and Jamie. THEN, I scroll down and Jamie is talking about how when he first met Alison, she reminded him of Patti Smith. BAM.
Can’t wait to see these guys at The Riviera next week. Who’s going?

The Kills “Baby Says”
Well I like anything The Kills do so obviously I like this.
Look closely: Jamie is played by Alison Mosshart and Alison is played Jamie Hince.

Alison Mosshart “What A Wonderful World” (Louis Armstrong cover) via Paste Magazine
Ms. Mosshart covers Louis Armstrong’s classic for the TV show Sons of Anarchy. I cannot wait for Amazon to deliver my body-switching device so that I can trade lives with her. Woohoo!

The Kills “Goodnight Bad Morning”
I, like most fans of The Kills, love Alison and Jamie most when their music is powerful, raw and rocking, but I forget how incredible they can be when they relax it a little. This song from the 2008 album Midnight Boom is a personal favorite. Enjoy.
