More listening than watching:

 

MONK'estra - Plays John Beasley

Straight ahead biggish band jazz. Pretty fun.

 

 

 

 

A "local" Christmas Carol concert reccomended by Joanne's sister (in Guildford UK)

"If anyone would like to hear some of the best singing of Christmas carols and unbelievably they are local follow this You Tube link: https://youtu.be/-4ouLNSQufU

Peter White heads this fabulous coral group, he was The Royal Grammar School's head of music until recently and is also a Guildown neighbour. Every year at Christmas they perform at St Martha's, in my opinion in a 'normal' year, the best Christmas carol concert you could go to!!! 🎄⛄🎅 "

2046, which takes place almost entirely on future Xmases, a film and soundtrack already nearly lost/out of distribution. Play this time of the year as I have the CD. 

Edit: Looks like some streaming services, like Spotify and Deezer, have recreated the soundtrack, though not always the right versions of songs or all tracks.

Shigeru Umebayashi - 2046

I happen to have a rip of the CD. Lovely music. I should find and watch the film. Amazon has it available on streaming but not for me 

VPN?

I'm afraid public ones with known IPs get blocked too.

If you were lucky enough to know a guy back in the day, whose birthday happens to be today, then you might have the 2046 movie and the soundtrack..

But these are the discs I have been spinning:

Peter Gabriel is 

Hey, that may mean I have a copy of the film around here! 
 

SoundCloud to the soundtrack rescue!

Cure, Bloodflowers

I am really enjoying the long form songwriting on this. The third song started (“the world is neither just nor unjust” caught my attention) and it felt like I was much further into the album than I was.

I also noticed I was really enjoying the guitar tone.  The big, expansive one, sounds like I’m watching them in concert. So I’m going backwards in their catalog until I figure out when it started, because I’m pretty sure it’s not on Head on the Door.

This is lighting up a lot of "Best Of" lists lately, and for good reason.  Approachable, delicately produced, and some blazing lyrics out of a clean little voice. 

Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher

The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.

Just Like Heaven is one of my all-time favorite songs, no question.

No arguments from me!

So to answer my own question, I didn’t have to go back very far.  That Sound was on Wild Mood Swings, but wasn’t on wish.  But it was perfected on Bloodflowers.

Happy new year

The soundtrack clip - wow.  Can't get through it tonight, though.  Too beautiful.

This. Thanks .

The New Orleans Nightcrawlers - Funknicity

A cover of a song by my favorite band (The Chameleons UK).  Not the best song IMO to cover, but still the fact that it was done by someone else I like is pretty darn cool....
