Charmed, I'm sure...Playlist for November 18, 2006

"I am the son, and the heir..." sang The Smiths long ago and far away, but if you're a fan of the WB's "Charmed," the version you're familiar with was done by Love Spit Love.

Love Spit Love was formed in 1992 by brothers Richard and Tim Butler of Psychedelic Furs fame after the Furs disbanded. Their version of "How Soon Is Now" was featured in the movie "The Craft" and became the theme song for the recently cancelled "Charmed."

The beautiful Victorian you see is the house where the Halliwell's lived and is just a stone's throw from downtown Los Angeles, not San Francisco where the series is supposed to take place. It is flanked by many beautiful Victorians on both sides of Carroll Avenue in the Angelino Heights neighborhood. It was such a treat to find this house and the many other charmed houses around it.
