I finally watched The Kingdom of Dream and Madness last night, and I recommend it to everyone. It's a documentary about Studio Ghibli, and specifically Hayao Mayazaki as he works to finish their most recent film The Wind Rises. Very inspiring as someone who does a lot of writing.
‘Least I won’t have to carry it no more. You see how bloody heavy it is?’
‘Every sword’s a weight to carry. Men don’t see that when they pick ’em up. But they get heavier with time.”
Unsure if anyone has heard of RED, but going to see them in concert tonight as an early Birthday present from the bestest friend ever. For some reason - its not letting me add the video into the post...so, there is the link.
And, because I am such a classical music fan, I'm offering 10 credits to the first person who can identify all 5 J.S. Bach pieces sampled in the above video.
You ever get your hopes up so high for an album by one of your favorite artists that you start to expect you'll be disappointed? It's so satisfying when the release you were nervous about ends up being somehow better than you could have expected. =D

Interesting, but I still like it best just the way she sings it though.
