If only life had background music

A good friend of mine recently introduced me to another little musical insight. It's called 'La Blogotheque' and it's a french website that's an archive of videos that are all small private performances by a range of artists in a whole collection of venues around the world. Brilliantly filmed and really atmospheric- as well as a brilliant way to discover new people. Click here to check it out- BLOGOTHEQUE

Apart from that not much has been filling up my rainy Sunday. Apart from contemplating whether to stay up to watch The Oscars and wondering who will come up top this year. There have just been so many good ones! The most recent I've seen have been Black Swan, The King's Speech and 127 hours- all brilliant! How James Franco keeps us entertained for 2 hours or so in a cave is beyond me, but he's amazing. 

Enough from me- all I'm wishing for now is a little bit of sunshine to clear up this rain. Here's a song to accompany my summer daydreaming- it kinda reminds me of walking in the sunshine too! Happy listening! 

The Tallest Man On Earth

Please watch this video. The lyrics are simply beautiful. Sweden has brought us their very own Bob Dylan. 'Tallest Man On Earth' - a musical nirvana.

Discover the music

So we all have our ways of discovering music. There's the usual.. your friend telling you you've just gotta check out so-and-so... or radio drilling a certain song into you. But I've been on a quest to find new ways. A little gem a got shown the other day is an apple 'app' called Aweditorium. A canvas of artist pictures you can can scan, listen to songs with, find out about artists and possibly everything you would want to know about them. It's simply brilliant.

http://www.aweditorium.com/# - the website is pretty minimal but download it if you have any sense in the world- it's FREE. And brilliant for passing long journeys. once again apple has proved to be genius! I applaud you.
