My End of Year List of Amazing things and such
Current mood: taking stock
Category: taking stock Music

2008 has been a wonderful year.
Strange. Lovely. Awful. Incredible. Lazy. Busy. Etc.
A year unlike any other, as all years should be.
For me, even though I wasn't necessarily 'working' I was watching.
And here's my list of things form pop culture which rocked my world in some way.

who stole all the good ideas?
Current mood: meh!
Category: meh! Music

I normally don't bitch about stuff - but I have a gripe to make about the lack of original ideas in the music business. And I have a stellar example for you.

I love a song called 'set fire to the third bar' - a duet between snow patrol's Gary Lightbody and the astoundingly talented Martha Wainwright. It's unique, stunning and utterly compelling with a music video that features the imagery of a couple separated by two way mirrors in a police cell. When I first heard it I remember thinking how I wished I'd written a song just like it.
Seems like someone else had that idea too.
