It's way past ten

Hello dears! First of all, I'd like to apologize for the delay of this post, it was supposed to come last week, but I had some internet connection issues and decided to only post when it was resolved. So here it is, I'm posting it exactly as I wrote for last week.


Well, it is clearly taking me longer to decide how to make this post than it would to write the whole thing (and the title is an extract of a song I'll mention, just to illustrate the fact ^ ^). And that is because I have a special feature for it!
A few months ago, my friend Fran introduced me to Sam Beeton's music, and to his very interesting way of delivering it. And who is Sam Beeton, and what is this interesting way, you may ask...well, Sam is this lovely British singer and song writer
(Unfolded Magazine, check the link for the complete interview - from Sam's facebook page)

And his music delivery system is Record Club, of which I've been a most delighted member since June 2011.
Through Record Club, instead of waiting for a year to get a common 12 track disc, you will receive one cd with new tracks every month with a customized cover. I've only started when it was already on volume 6, but when you subscribe somewhere along the way like I did, you will receive another cd with all the previously realesed tracks.
Sam always adds a drawing, stamp, or some other kind of artsy thing on the back of the covers, along with your name and a signature. And more than that, he is a sweetheart and always welcomes the new Record Clubers through his twitter and facebook
For every release, there's also a video about it, like this


He creates delightful folk music, which he writes himself. I really liked it when I heard it for the first time (Rain Down On You) and completely fell in love with it when I got to hear Sweet Luigi (my first favourite, which now goes along toe to toe with My Doll and Never Know Love). It’s a soft, cheerful sound that always gives me a light, breezy feeling like the one you get in a perfect summer day (like this ^ ^). It always makes me smile.
I'm in the hopes of seeing him live soon, with Fran ;) (well, it's probably not that soon, but we're planning ^ ^)
And according to Sam’s twitter, Record Club series 2 is already in the oven! So you should stop trying to make sense of this description I just gave, and enjoy the chance of getting this new batch right on its beginning and experiencing yourself ;) I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much.

Parle moi de ces vols

Music of the day, Ben L'oncle Soul. I'd read about it somewhere, and completely forgot to look it up. And found it while looking for Mika's Elle Me Dit (Ben L'oncle Soul also has a song with that name).



And you know who ele has a song with a similar name? Cali, with Elle M'a Dit. All three quite different, and I love each one.

Le Onde

I just finished watching Le Concert. I actually started yesterday, yes, but I was tired and not paying the attention it deserved.

I guess I could start rambling about it, but you know, just watch it. Let me know what you think then. And just in case you're wondering, it's about a Maestro who, 30 years after being casted out of the Bolshoi Orchestra in the middle of a concert, tries to take a chance of putting his orchestra back together and finally finish it. Andreï Filipov (Aleksei Guskov) was inspired by Evgeny Svetlanov, who was the Bolshoi leading conducter from 1955 to 1962. With Mélanie Laurent (who also played in Inglorious Bastards) as Anne-Marie Jacquet, the talented young violinist asked to play the violin solo and from whom a big secret is being kept.

And if you're interested, here's a very interesting review and about the film-maker post, and here's the trailer.
