Interstitial baubles


Overnight made think of its ostensible subject The Boondock Saints and its lovely title music: best part of the film, in my opinion.

Seeing Madonna perform "Imagine" on the Tsunami benefit made me wonder exactly how many utopian odes have ever been scribed in history. Lennon wasn't the first, but he certainly is the patron saint of the genre. The song that popped into my mind as a nice example of a minor effort is Roger Water's "The Tide is Turning (After Live Aid)", and there he was only moments later, singing "Wish You Were Here" with Slowhand.

And posting Anja's song, which geeked a few of you, made me think of her dad's little duet with the tabla master Zakir Hussain.

Garbarek worked beautifully with Anouar Brahem on Madar too. Both of them worked with one of my favourite saxophone players John Surman on Thimar. I had the pleasure to hear Surman's "Proverb and songs" live, where for 3 hours he’s playing allegorically and towards the end almost in agony, on soprano and baritone sax and bass clarinet, with John Taylor on piano.
