Miles Davis - Venus de Milo would indeedie make a wonderful swan song to ones life.

Al Hirt - Green Hornet for the death scene?! Sounds like your life is going 60's B movie camp!

Or I'm going to die in a Kill Bill scene. The randomness made for weird matches, I would have preferred to select the songs.

ha, any good falling in love song should contain the lyrics

"if it comes down to the drugs or you
baby, we're through."

Sorry about the technicolor.. Fancy fails me again.

Thanks for introducing me to Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Aguas de Março... [sigh...]

Its the thought that counts.

I've seen Brazilian critics say it's Brazil's greatest song. I wouldn't argue. But that pair made a LOT of great stuff. Just about everything on their first album is top notch.
