I'm soooo doing this. Just later, as I have to work. Damn, but it's going to be hard to concentrate now.

Hamish Kilgour talks to Marcus on Radio Live from a bridge in New York city, and serves up the prime minister, trains and the brutality of the Occupy clamp down in New York.
Rock n roll as it happens.
Photo from HDU and Verlaines gig last Saturday. Looking forward to the others on the near horizon.

Hard News: A week being a long time in politics, in reply to Russell Brown,
3. Has the media handling of this issue been (paraphrase) trivial
and shallow or professional and thorough?God I wish we had a Jon Stewart, or even a MacPhail and Gadsby, to rip this situation a new one in satire. It's pretty much writing itself.

what a glorious soundtrack
This is far more my cup of tea than all the other possible distractions going on at the moment. (SWIDT?)
Great song, and amazing cinematography in this brief piece.
And did someone say dark? It's Blood Simple. -

Satie, or faux-Satie
I think the latter. It’s brilliant nevertheless, and thanks for reminding me.
Here’s Satie for comparison.ETA: Composer was Vladimir Cosma.

Three for...
The intro to this is still one of my favourite, and most haunting, pieces of piano music.
And Calling You is simply magic.
ETA: Ahem. Judging by the screen shot, slightly NSFW, if you're prudish.

being Greenaway
I left this alone earlier, because once you hit Greenaway, days pass, and before you know it you’re being slow roasted over a fire and consumed by your peers. Or drowned.
One thing this does bring to mind is all the excellent soundtracks of the late 80s, early 90s films. Of course there are many good soundtracks being made today I’m sure, it’s just, TBH, none that have stuck in my memory as much as say Paris Texas, Betty Blue, Siesta or Baghdad Cafe, to name a few.
Nick Cave's songs in Wings of Desire arguably deserve a repeat (I almost wrote retweet – what’s the world coming to?)
As does Crime and the City Solution’s Six Bells Chime. -

bastard :)
Yes, your reply is fully warranted. Carry on. ;-)

I was there too. Saw it again in Berlin in an open air cinema a few years later and it changed my life again.
As for Until the end of the world, I tried to like it, but the world ended first.

Opening to Paris Texas. Ry Cooder rules.
Indeed he does. I've been hunting for the legendary Soundtrack to Southern Comfort since the world began, but not since the invention of YouTube.

Oink.
