Currently listening to...

...a sweet 80s flashback with "Draw of the Cards" by Kim Carnes. I am not a Kim Carnes fan, but I must confess that I do love this song (and I have to love "Bette Davis Eyes" as well). "Draw of the Cards" is dramatic, snakey, and smoothly sinister, which fits a song about fate and the unknown. But it is the tarot-card-filled nightmare/ insane asylum video, directed by Russell Mulcahy (who also directed the sumptuous New Romantic extravaganzas "The Voice" and "The Thin Wall" for Ultravox), that sticks in my memory.
