Comment:

June 22nd - July 22ndFourth Sign of the Zodiac - Water, Cardinal

The crab spends it's whole existence between earth and water, never quite happy in either medium, always seeking that evasive sense of home, as Lee Hazlewood intones in the opening. They are often found baying over some emotional slight, or wicked game, after which they withdraw, licking their wounds, into their shell, where solitude awaits. Buffeted by their personal stormy weathers, yet tough minded and weathered themselves, a heightened awareness of the currents of emotion draws them inexorably to the nocturnal, mysterious aspects of life; the moon's call beckoning them wherever it leads. Each has a caustic wit, and a hidden hurt, which makes them concurrently shy and self-exhibiting; the model Ms Gainsbourg going to the lengths of hiding under a sheet to record her debut album.Cancer's secret journey is to birth themselves cotinually from their own inner ocean, from the waves within. Always projecting an unreachable dream-land ahead, they create it's image in the process of seeking; an idyllic, though private, utopia. This can conversely turn to escapist fantasies of kingdoms beneath the sea and suchlike. Their final task is to acheive the expansive understanding of the entire world as their home, viewed from the door of their (deeply cherished) actual home, of course. For most of their time here however, Cancer's heavy and necessary shell prevents them floating off as blessed spirits on the wings of such an epiphany...Other famous Cancerians include: Frida Kahlo, Vin Diesel, Ringo Starr, The Dalai Lama, Princess Diana, Henry VIII, George Sand, Brigitte Fontaine, Marcel Proust, Ernest Hemingway, Henry David Thoreau, Pamela Anderson, Jean Cocteau, Marc Chagall and Franz Kafka.

Just when you thought you've seen every possible rubric to group seemingly unrelated songs/artists into a tenuous theme mix, someone comes up with something wildly clever and innovative. Damn you, Luke! Damn you to hell!

Super concept and notes, minorly disturbing but clever HTML trick. 2-4 and 8-10 smoke.
