Whatever goes up must go down and whatever goes down must go up. Right? Huh? Yeah, for the sake of stairs and ladders which usually go in both directions, unless they’re the escalator steps in the Hungarian film Kontroll –no one knows where those escalators really go.

Anyway, fire burns up and down. If you’re a good fire-keeper then some down time embers go up again with some well blown O2. Are things getting out of hand here? Noooooo way. Or maybe by the end of the post things might be a tad untidy?
Blame this all on the chocolate-coconut-pecan taco. If you don’t know what that is hit the search box for another kind of breakfast special.
Oh I should never have posted that cartoon… Okay, on with the shows.

Theme from Twin Peaks ~ Fire Walk with Me ~music by Angelo Badalamenti
Twin Peaks–a story about an investigation into murder, sex and mayhem. Oh, and let’s not forget the cherry pie.
Intermission / an unresistable aside
Speaking of Cherry Pie ~ Warrant
adamlep ‘s tribute to Agent Cooper and Audrey.
Ahhhhh heavy sigh.
Hey, pies are baked in ovens which have heat, which technically speaking equals FIRE.
Besides, Cooper and Audrey have plenty of FIRE all by themselves.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame Hellfire theme. Oh time for some sin that leads to Fire.

Whose ready for some comic relief? I am! I am! Go Boss, Go! Oh aren’t they just adorable?
Bruce Springsteen ~ Fire
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.
Toronto July 26th 1984

Hmm, why? Reason one: Black and white film. Reason two: Leather pants. Reason three: Let’s vote, is Jim high as a kite or not? Reason four: For the sheer hell of it. Reason five: I’ve got a thing for the keyboard man. Yeah, right. Reason six: People in the audience get to scream~squeal into the mic. Reason seven: Girl follows Jim under the stage. Yes, under the stage.
The Doors ~ Light My Fire, live 1968

Electric Six is here because, well damn it, I’ve had to listen to this song by Electric Six a lot by default. By default, I mean that it’s a favorite of someone in my abode and hence is played OFTEN. What’s the point of demanding and support freedom of thought and expression if you don’t follow through in your own home domain? Not much in my opinion. After years of exposure to the song and the video it was no surprise to moi that Danger! High Voltage came immediately to my brain-pan when I read that Bear’s theme choice was Fire. Honestly, “Fire in the disco!” was instantly on the scene. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it has been listened to and viewed with many cups of tea at hand for perhaps its number one fan with a mouse at their disposal. I have no idea what Grandmother Fire would make of this video beyond the fact that, yeah it is base human nature to “keep starting fires.”
Note: “Play” at your risk, potentially offensive language and image contents for some sensibilities. Or maybe not?

Next, so much for The Good Old Days– Not so much, methinks.
Note: Very Strong offensive language content. What do you expect from a song about going to hell? Polite conversation? Not here. Not now. Not today, anyway.
Nick Cave ~ Fire Down Below, from Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys, ANTI- 2006.
Liner notes by Anti-: http://www.anti.com/catalog/view/67/P…
A popular pumping chantey, this was actually the last chantey sung aboard a commercial British square-rigger, by Stan Hugill in 1929, as the barque Garthpool was pumped out for the last time. There are a number of versions, and in some the “fire down below” is more explicitly a reference to venereal disease.

Hmm, no smoke and ashes here. Does that mean something is still burning? I guess so.
