Playing for Change

Posted in from the viewing room, music, video on June 7, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I’m a great Bob Harris fan. I love his Radio 2 show on a Saturday night. Last night he played three tracks from an album entitled Songs Around the World, from a project known as Playing for Change.
Here’s one of the three he played (I could have posted ANY of them!) This music is JOYOUS. [...]

Helicopter movie

When I took a short walk yesterday I came across a helicopter practising taking water up from a lake and dropping it again as it’ll have to do when it fights forest fires.
I gathered the photos together in iphoto, made them into a slideshow, added some music by Max Richter and exported it as a [...]

Oh I like this!
A lot!

Very Scottish, very Glasgow. Great wall of sound music. And such great lyrics (know any other songs about social workers?) -
I`ll be at your side to console

Look at this

This is a little drawing to illustrate the fact that there have been only 200 generations (each of about 25 years) since the beginning of recorded history right up to the present time. Isn’t that amazing? This grabbed me for two reasons. First, it really captures just how little time has passed since [...]
