Gentlemen, D: Donovan

Song: "Colours"
From the album Fairy Tale

Donovan:   Web site

DJ comments: I first heard this song during an interesting split-screen scene in the Roger Avary adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's The Rules of Attraction. Great song, great movie. Probably freaked out 99% of James Van Der Beek's fans at the time, which is awesome.

Easton Ellis is probably best known for his book American Psycho, which is highly overrated as a book. His books have made for some good movies, except for the first case I'll cite...

Less Than Zero: GREAT book, bordering on god-awful movie.
The Rules of Attraction: Good book, great movie.
American Psycho: Average book, great movie by Mary Herron, starring Christian Bale, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Reese Witherspoon, Chloe Sevigny, Willem Dafoe, Samantha Mathis, and Jared Leto.
Lunar Park: Good book.

Anyway, this started out about Donovan... — cwc
