Isabelle Adjani and time travel – The Vampire's Wife

A dear friend just sent me this picture of Isabelle Adjani. Now it is no secret that Isabelle has always been and will always be the actress that shines the brightest for me, and it is impossible to exaggerate the influence she has had over us all, here at The Vampire’s Wife. I have never seen this photo before, but here she is wearing what is essentially a Vampire’s Wife dress, back in the early eighties, I guess, and it gives me a strange feeling of temporal dissonance, where the past comes rushing forward and the present is not as stable as I would like to think it is, and the future is, well, puffed organza sleeves! Once again, we adore Isabelle Adjani here at The Vampire’s Wife. Love, Susie x

THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT

What a brilliant piece of pop magic! There is a Light that Never Goes Out by The Smiths. A gorgeous lunatic lyric with a swooningly joyful melody. I love this song. I love this band. We adore The Smiths here at The Vampire’s Wife.

SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND BY ANGEL OLSEN

I just stumbled on to this extraordinary tribute to the great Karen Dalton by the ferociously talented Angel Olsen. A brave thing to attempt, this is a truly spine chilling version. I am truly awed!

SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND BY KAREN DALTON

I woke up this morning with this amazing song going around in my head. Karen Dalton is one of the truly great singers of all time, and this stark and sorrowful rendition of Something On Your Mind is as beautiful as anything I have ever heard.
