| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 5 What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? | December 31, 2008 | Joan Osborne’s version of this classic is a belter. I first saw it when I watched the outstanding documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown and was pleasantly stunned and surprised (given that I had not been a fan of previous songs of hers that I had encountered). It’s one of the few documentaries that […] |
| Watch, Listen and Singalong: The Christmas Edition 4 | December 25, 2008 | Well of course this is not technically a Christmas song, and I was looking for a version of Lennon’s So this is Christmas etc, but couldn’t find a good one. While some might look back and see the message of Imagine as naive and idealistic, I don’t think it hurts to be reminded of the […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: The Christmas Edition 3 | December 24, 2008 | Here’s a classic…the highest selling Christmas song of all time apparently. Enjoy Bing’s whistling and the cute harmony. I wonder why so many of these Christmas songs are so melancholy and nostalgic? I think I prefer these though. |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: The Christmas Edition 2 | December 23, 2008 | Aah…some 80s nostalgia, Christmas music with a message. How young and innocent they all were and now how many have been in trouble with the law? There are others who have taken up the lute and still others who have maintained the political rage. Others have simply faded into pop obscurity. I’ll leave it for […] |

| Watch,Listen and Singalong: The Christmas Edition 1 | December 22, 2008 | What a treat. I have decided to post one of my favourite Christmas songs (excluding actual carols) everyday til Thursday. This is one of my all time favourites, particularly because it goes against the “ho ho ho,isn’t everything jolly” trend of so many Christmas songs. From the classic Vincente Minnelli musical Meet Me in St […] |

| My lovely horse | December 16, 2008 | Appreciate the genius that is Father Ted (a little preview of this week of TV). Unfortunately it’s only a link as the clip didn’t allow embedding (except in another version on youtube which was of very poor quality). http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=jzYzVMcgWhg (And apologies to my facebook friends for cross posting…but you can’t have too much of a […] |
