Deb! I loved the Lego Sweeney Todd clip!�Brilliant!
Today on the train I listened to Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips. I really like this song "Do You Realise?". Not sure if you know it or not, but here it is. It's a bit of an epic clip for a bit of an epic song.
Thanks again for dropping by with more musical joy. :)

Ah Dave that's just gorgeous! Something totally new to me, but I got it immediately. And the answer to all those questions? Yes, of course I do.
Here's one that has been rocking my world this morning courtesy of a recent article in The Sunday Times I finally decided to check out on-line. It would seem Johnny Flynn is being proposed as poster boy to Laura Marling's (see above)poster girl in what is being described as a nu-folk scene. First time I saw this was 20 minutes ago but I'm hooked and tempted to view more videos on You Tube. Had intended to share something quite different initially but I'll save the earlier idea for another day.
Lego Sweeney Todd is groovy, isn't he! Perhaps not as good as the real thing, but cuter. I just adore those Sondheim songs. For me however, Depp's best acting was probably as The Libertine. Sometimes you want a demon barber, others you need a pervy poet.
Hope you're having / have had a good day, fella. Thank you for all the music and for brightening my page.
Hugs!

Thanks for both of those, Deb. I agree with you - the Keef one's better, but they've certainly both got their charms.
With regard to The Beatles, I discovered them around the same time I discovered Kate Bush - as a 17-year-old just learning that the best music doesn't get played on the radio. Not the commercial stations, anyway. The Beatles and Kate are my two great musical loves, the pillars of my music fandom. I've spent years obsessing over these, but there's been plenty of room for other musical acts as well.�PJ Harvey for example. Here's her brilliant video for Is That All There Is, off the Dance Hall At Louse Point album she did with John Parish.

Haha! Let's get it right this time. It was the ending of this song that grabbed me too. Even when Lou performed it. Here's another rather special version. Liking this lady more with each passing day!
All together now. Little fish, big fish swimming in the water . . . . .
Enjoy your week, Dave.
Hugs,

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY
Now for something completely different.
I was in the mood for some George Harrison, in particular this amazing song from his first post-Beatles' album All Things Must Pass. Unfortunately, Art Of Dying was never released as a single and has no official video, so I had to trawl through a few slideshows on YouTube before stumbling across this rather creative take where they've used it as the theme song for the James Bond movie Live and Let Die (replacing Paul's Live and Let Die theme song). I think it worked rather well. An oldie, but a goodie. :)
Enjoy!

Hi Deb,
I had my iPod on shuffle while I was walking from the train station to work today, and heard this song. It's Song 6 by Ane Brun and Ron Sexsmith. I've been a fan of Ron Sexsmith's work for years (if you listen to Feist, you probably know a couple of his songs Secret Heart and Brandy Alexander). Anyway, this is a really cool whisky-soaked love song. I think you'll like it. It used to be on my MySpace profile, but I change the songs around every now and then.
Loving the idea of video exchanges.�Richard Thompson's always good, and although I'd heard of him, I'd never looked up Seth Lakeman. Really enjoyed that one too.
Ta!

Ooh, new to me, both song and artists, but I really like that. Thoroughly enjoying being introduced to things I haven't heard before. Great idea! Thanks for all the sharing.
Here's a quiet, reflective one from Lakeman. Suits today's mood nicely.
Hugs!

Anyway, thank-yous and you're-welcomes to you Deb (smilie was to go here but still insists on popping up not at the cursor but at the beginning *sigh*)!
I've been up typing explanations for the videos for a long while (long-winded too, just a bit lol, and now brain-dead), but just remembered to adjust this comments box, not to mention figuring out how to reply and all that stuff.
Almost there!
Take care,
~Rob

Aww, lots to familiarise yourself with but you'll get there, Rob. There's nothing too complicated here as long as you have time to spend with it. This particular space is far more fun than it ever was on ezboard.
You need one of these.
Hugs,
Deb. xx
