Lena Headey
Top 10 Tunes
Ladies and Gentlemen! A respectful hush if you please. Please! Welcome back to the Dayglo and another Bacchanalian Bacchanal, another night of song and...oh sod it, you know why you're here. However may we take this opportunity to apologize momentarily for the heat in here -- not only has Andrzej the Polish Plumber stuffed the air-con, but our special guest has single-handedly raised the mean temperature on the Dayglo floor by a good 20 degrees. It's the way she wears that dress.
Yes punters and puntees, all the way from Hollywood California, and before that, London England, it's the talented and utterly gorgeous Lena Headey! All you Game of Thrones fans...yes it's your actual Lena, right here in the Dayglo -- but we'll have none of that pogo dancing here thanks. Or are you Man City fans? We're confused... Anyway, you know her best, other than that, from The Brothers Grimm, 300, The Terminator on the telly, and heaps of other stuff...but we know her best when working with the Prop three times -- *The Jungle**Book, Merlin and the upcoming Mariah Mundi -- The Midas Box. And you'll be seeing a lot more of her in the upcoming Dredd*. She's always brilliant, always funny, and we are very fond of her here at TPHQ.
And here she is with her Top 10. Actually, looking at the list, we see she has gotten out of control, and chosen more than the allotted 10...Oh Lord, where is the discipline these days? I'm afraid it's 10 or nothing, young lady!
Bring her up to the stage, let her pass you mongrels, here she is -- a vision of loveliness, our old friend and all round good egg, the simply ravishing ... give it up for ... LENA HEADEY!!
Oh dear, here she is, sliding up to the MC (me) batting the eyelids, asking for more ... Oh well, just 'cause it's Lena, and she IS a honey ...we reluctantly permit the following addendum:Ain't No Mountain - Tammy Tyrell and Marvin GayeSong for my son. Ne'r a truer lyric sung.Spooky Little Boy - Dusty SpringfieldGreat tune. Kooky in every a sense. Evokes feelings of adventure.. A sense of freedom. Gallivanting around a city at sunset.Thunder Road - Bruce SpringsteenGot to have a boss track. This is my absolute fave. Faded floral dresses.. Warm beer .. Dusty open roads.. (think freedom may be a theme here)The Whores Hustle And The Hustlers Whore - PJ HarveyNeed I say more.Blue Ridge Mountains - Fleet FoxesAgain. Freedom. Driving. Smiling. Contentment.Come Closer - Miles KaneNew discovery. My pal introduced me on a drive recently. Love this. And he's a northerner. Of course.Hounds of Love - FutureheadsKate Bush is the true queen here. BUT there is something undeniably addictive about this version. The heart thumping oh oh oh's guarantee some jumping around.
This is a bad precedent, can't help but feel ... but, look, just this once, and it IS Lena ...Thanks, Darl!
