Alberta Hunter - Boogie Woogie Swing

“Boogie Woogie Swing“ by Alberta Hunter, over a scene from “Diary of a Lost Girl,“ a completely depressing Georg Wilhelm Pabst film starring Louise Brooks. After a series of hard knocks, Thymian is making it big - as a prostitute. Hey, it could happen to anyone. Especially someone who is raped, becomes pregnant and is essentially sold down the river for not marrying the dude who assaulted her. Speaking of that asshole, Meinert happens to show up at a club where Thymian is workin’ it. With him are her dad and stepmother (formerly the family’s housekeeper). Awkwardness, in the form of meaningful glances, ensues. More on movie & mix:
