is sunshine and magical music.

Complete films are playing in my head when I hear this song.

Zero7 - Distractions

Let’s start this week quietly.
With a song about me. And you.
I can’t quite figure out if this is a hopeful song or just a realistic one.
But it is one of the most beautiful songs I know, and I have played it nearly all weekend while sitting in cafes trying to figure out how [...]

Dan In Real Life

I hate long posts on blogs, I seldom read them, they put me off. But I know that I too often write them myself. There is a lot to say, but I will keep it as short as possible. I promise. There is some bad news and there is some, erhm, news.

Dreaming with a broken heart

I feel mean. In my script I have to break up two people and while the woman doesn’t truly love the man she is with, he has been kind and true and he really loves her. What did he do to deserve this? Nothing really. Life just can be cruel sometimes.
But [...]

Inside my head

Great. Typical.
Before you start - I know that you write SCRIPT with a T in the end. I think this really stresses the point of this post: memory overload.
I promise, that soon, when I have cleaned up a bit in my head, I will write some proper posts again. Maybe. Probably.
In the mean [...]

Love is all around my keyboard

I posted another song from the Love Actually soundtrack in this post. I love this version and was shocked to read that Lynden David Hall, who also performed the song in the film, died in 2006 of cancer at the age of 31.

Today’s card (I am not cheating, they [...]

Love in London

This is London
Here is one of the lovely songs from the soundtrack of the great Dan in real life. The whole soundtrack has been created especially for this film by Norwegian singer-songwriter Sondre Leche. And I think he has done a marvelous job, the songs integrate perfectly with the film.
Too late …
Trailer is [...]

Love+Rock:Everything you said amazed me

Because it’s a beautiful song:
Audio no longer available (Snow Patrol - Warmer Climate)
Because it’s weekend.
Because this is the visual interpretation of voicilicious.
Because he’s back and that’s exactly what he is.
Enjoy your weekend.
you are the cry that turns to laughter,
you’re the hope that ends disaster.

Destiny

Audio no longer available.
I am taking a little break.
(Update: I’ll be back latest on Monday)

Funny little frog

They are Scottish.
They are from Glasgow.
They have been around for quite a while.
I am always late in discovering delicious music like this.
When I heard this song for the first time today I had to run to my drawing pad.
In between dancing I draw the frog.
I have also listened to The Murders in [...]

So you feel absolutely knackered with a headache and a soar throat but you don’t want to call in sick in your last week at your current job. You drag yourself to work, and after an hour the fire alarm goes. While enjoying the view from the 18th is great, walking down the stairs from [...]

Dislocation Dance - Rosemary
Staring at the blank screen before me, there are a couple of cheap tricks to get around that and post something anyway:
1. post a postcard - yeah but there have been quite a few of them here lately
2. post a pathethic poem - let’s not shall we
3. post a funky song - [...]

Love and Rock your iPod

Love, New York

New York, 55th Street

Business as usual

This post

has funky music!
has a short note about a Dutch footballer recently spotted in Croydon.
has a TGITC film review
is 100% Bill free. (enjoy it while it lasts is what I’d say). (I really tried)

AIR - sexy boys …

If you thought that flying far to watch Bill Nighy was a first time silly action, think again. I flew to an iceberg (in Greenland) to see a concert of a band I (still) like, and have flown to London more than once to see them there too. And beside those [...]
