Another Form of Relief

So I’ve been pretty slack in posting here of late. This is because I’m simply not finding the time of late, between work giving me more hours (this is actually a good thing) and a ton of other things that I’ve currently got going on. For the indefinite future, posting will probably down to something like three or four posts a week or something. I’ll write when I get time and have something to share. Tonight though, we’ve got a pretty lazy post. There’s no stunning new music here, no tiny band you should be aware of. You probably know most of these bands and the songs. There’s no great agenda here. It’s just a bunch of great songs that for one reason or another have been getting a lot of play over the past week or so. I’d usually include a little write up explaining the use of each one, but I’m so tired right now that I’m struggling to stay awake to type this. I might add something further to it all tomorrow night or something.

Oh, and go see Children of Men. It’s out now in the UK and comes out in the US on Christmas Day. I’ll even call it now as getting a Best Picture nomination once award season rolls around, even despite the Academy’s aversion to anything even mildly sci-fi. Simply the best film of this year so far by a mile. It’s intelligent, disturbing and beautiful all at the same time, and it deserves your attention.
