The King of what? lol

Growing up and seeing all the greased up guys and the bee-hive wearing ladies hyping him up was a bit puzzling to me, and even more so when my parents would go to someones place and they'd have the velvet Elvis's on the walls and thats all they played the entire visit. Wtf do these people see in this guy? Ray's sensibility hits home.

Don't forget Bill Black too. Sun Sessions Elvis is the only Elvis I like. Otherwise, I'm not a fan - except for "Suspicious Minds".

Dwight's cover appeals to my tastes more than the original:

I do have a mental block from being force fed Elvis at a young age though, so there's that.

^ Now playing - thanks! Never heard Dwight's version before....

Edit: Really like this cover! I respect Dwight as a Buck Owens/Bakersfield acolyte (I was brainwashed by my mom with Buck Owens music growing up). I need to dig deeper into Dwight's discography.

I started with this one on a whim back in the 90's and then went deeper afterwards. I haven't heard everything he's done but I have heard quite a bit. Three Pears from 2012 is another standout for me.

^ Will take a listen to this for a start, and also Three Pears. Thanks!

Cemetery of Splendour

I really liked Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives so I gave this a try when a blu ray copy came into the shop. Excellent film! I really thought that this film over Uncle Boonmee accomplished that sort of "half awaken from a dream" feel that Weerasethakul is known for. There were points in this film that I felt like I was literally imagining things that were happening. That's effective filmmaking. The story is always very loose with him and there were moments that were just out of leftfield but I thought this was fantastic.

I've seen Uncle Boonmee, I didn't understand much of it but I remember the feeling it conveyed was very meditative.
