What are you listening to now?
I'd never really found anything by him that hit the spot - I was more for the dramatic stuff like Rachmaninov, Gorecki, Chopin etc etc. Try the Adagio to the Serenade in B-flat for 13 winds. It's unlike anything else Mozart has ever do…

Holiday stuff
I recommend walking samaria gorge if you have time. :) Just Googled that - looks amazing! Exactly the sort of place I'd make sure to try if there.

Goldfrapp live in Bristol on Jun 23
Are you not going? Not tonight - I can't get tomorrow off work and it's a 600mile round trip from Newcastle to Bristol. I'll be doing both nights at MIF though - wouldn't miss that for anything.

I love Mozart. I'd never really found anything by him that hit the spot - I was more for the dramatic stuff like Rachmaninov, Gorecki, Chopin etc etc. Mad really that the first Mozart thing that stops me in my tracks was his last thing AND so…

Cosy. Oven is currently roasting some slices of aubergine in marjoram infused oil ready to be topped with red pesto and a sprinkling of crumbled feta. Mozart's Requiem in D Minor is being piped into the kitchen and all is well with the world.…

What`s the last film you watched ?
Life of Pi What a beautiful tiger. It's wonderful, isn't it - I knew it was graphics before I saw the film in the cinema yet still believed it was real. That's when you know they got it very, very right!

Please recommend me some electronic bands.

The "Clay" Appreciation Thread

The "Clay" Appreciation Thread
Clay seems to have an electronic presence on it, from what I gather from the teaser anyway, synths in the background and a bit of an electronic growl to the track in general. Sounds divine. No disco beats though. You really haven't got to gri…

This is awful really but I got the album as I wanted the tracks but haven't, until you started this thread, ever given the actual film itself a second thought! :-\"

What's your Favourite Live Track ?
I'm always split over seeing Deer Stop live. On one hand, it's just gorgeous and really pushes the emotion out the most raw each time. It's something that touches you with scalpel precision. On the other hand countless arrogant, rud…

Utopia too, although if you were asking me my favourite moment i've witnessed it would probably be that Lovely Head video of mine that Carpy posted, i mean the way she screamed at me, chilling and thrilling! I wondered if you'd notice! =…

At least that stops all the ones going to Manchester gnashing their teeth and wailing about the semantics and legalities of the word "premiere" ;) Actually, even though I'm going to MIF I was thinking that was actually a good thing …
