While recently re-watching the first five seasons of Lost in preparation, I'd greatly underestimated the amount of popular music used in the series -- though the total amount of songs spanning the five season still falls just shy of 50. But I guess when you've got a composer the caliber of Michael Giacchino ( Up ) at your disposal, there's not as much call for it. People still listen to music, though,...
LOST: The Final Season is finally here and to pay tribute to my all-time favorite show I’ve made what I consider to be the definitive mix of music featured on LOST. You can download the entire mix in a zip here, and read how each song is used in the show (plus which [...]
Pretty speedy turnaround time between Paris and Stockholm. I have spent much of today angering Mother Nature by putting on three loads of washing and rushing into town to pick up Swedish Kroner (which incidentally though not at all surprising is very pretty indeed, who knew?) Paris was wonderful. Joanna, who I know through my best friend Lily was the perfect travel companion and the flat we stayed...
Wish I could say I did this café sketch in Paris, but it was actually last night in Glendale, to the lilting strains of Charles Trenet and Barbara. Thanks to Kendra Melton for tipping me off to this fun drawing club.
Prompted by the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War , W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood visited China in 1937. Isherwood reported from what they hoped would become the centre of the conflict: 'Today Auden and I agreed that we would rather be in Hankow at this moment than anywhere else on earth.' So these soi-disant 'lunatic English explorers' observed a distant replay of the Spanish Civil War, which...
Rose: no growth for retail in 2010 (Independent) “Sir Stuart Rose has said that the UK retail market will not grow this year, as uncertainty over how the next government will tackle the public deficit hangs over consumer spending.” Burani Seeks New Adviser to Help Rescue Fashion Group (Bloomberg) “Burani, which makes clothes under license for Vivienne Westwood, [...]
Planning for Ocky Milk -- codenamed, at that point, The Friendly Album -- began in March 2005 . I'd just got back to Berlin Friedrichshain (and Hisae, and the rabbit) after two months as a sound artist in residence at the Future University in Hokkaido. Japanese ideas infused the record's concept: "I want to make something as static, as friendly, as consensual, as self-effacing, as Japan itself....
Like Woody Allen, I don't mind dying but I don't much want to be there when it happens. Still, at least I won't be there at my funeral. Well, obviously my mortal coil will be present, or some placeholder at least, but I won't. So why do I care what music is played during the final rites? Actually, I'm not sure I do care that much, except I find myself thinking about it from time to time. Three times...

At this year's Edinburgh International Festival, Ulysses comes home twice. The Royal Ballet of Flanders dance Christian Spuck's version of the story at the Playhouse. Across the city at the King's Theatre, William Kentridge stages Monteverdi's opera with puppets. Both productions do a lot of inventive doodling, piling extras onto the central theme.
Edinburgh International Festival Reviews: The back wall is a blackboard where white lines are a tally of time passing. The woman silently chalking up another day? Penelope, the faithful wife who waits for Ulysses to return.
This advertisement appears in Singapore recently. It sound like a ballad song , by a lady with deep voice. The advertisement shows some thin stream of water collide with each other and merge as a flame. Share and Enjoy:
