The Notwist - "Messier Objects"

Great album. Electronics.

Rone - "Creatures"

Good instrumental electronic sounds. Good for closing off.

• "Quitter la ville": with lyrics, sung by François Marry), cool build-up

Stoker (2013)

Great film. Nicole Kidman a killer role as usual. Must look into the soundtrack. Must play piano. Must learn how to tell a story.

Simon Killer

pretentious? not even sure. Just bad. The very closed up sound recordings of him sniffing, sniffing, sniffing...oh gee, was that to symbolize he is bad? Sorry I didn't catch that because the story was too slow, the cast was uninteresting.....

The Crooked Spoke - "The One You Left Behind"

Moody. Not the surf I expected at all. Swampy-ish.

Dave Brubeck, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Louis Armstrong - "They Say I Look Like God"

Very slow gospel. Definitely not good for any random moment.

Etienne Jaumet - "La Visite"

http://www.dummymag.com/new-music/etienne-jaumet-la-visite-album-stream

• Metallik Cages - the familiar buildup of synths, with Shpongle-like vocals

Shane MacGowan story - If I Should Fall From Grace

Cool documentary about Shane MacGowan and the Pogues. A life drenched in music and liquor.

John Coffey - "The Great News"

Pretty hard rock album. I seem to like the gentlier songs, like

• Jean Trompette - great ... trumpet
• It's Beginning To Change - quite the System of a Down vocals and orchestration

John Carpenter - "Lost Themes"

themes indeed... this feels like a trip down 80s synth computer games. Or films. Strings galore. Not exactly breathtakingly good. Interesting.

He was a cult director as well? (and a soundtrack composer?)

65daysofstatic - "Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here" (One Time For All Time)

Post rock raw buildup, instrumental. Found through a swampy 8tracks playlist that mostly sported the usual. This sounded different though.

Roll the Dice - "Cause and Effect"

Long lasting synth soundscapes. Good for coding?

"Assembly" : a lot more slow and majestic rhythmical build-up into a crescendo of a soundscape.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - "Sins of my youth"

Soft, melancholy song. Have no idea where I heard it first.

Snowpiercer (2013)

In a world frozen over because mankind thought it could fix global warning, one train plows on and on. The tail, the foot, is dirty, dark, the head, light, happy.... Riots ensue.

Yes, its premise reminded me of that other film and yes it is just as amazing and perhaps better (I do have to see the other one again.) Amazing film, amazing story. This is why magic realism is so fucking brilliant.

the Decemberists - "What A Terrible World, What A Beautiful World"

Poppy. Ok.

• Philomena: "all I lived for in this world / was to see a naked girl / but I got quickly bored..."
• Carolina Low - more subdued
• Easy Come, Easy Go - a bit Western style

Creature With the Atom Brain - "Transylvania"

Bit post-rock ish. Reminded me of Mogwai, though a lot more poppy than them and less soundscapey.

80s epicness with movie quotes

Midnight in Paris

Typical Woody Allen film where the scene and the feeling of the moments is more important than the actual characters. It is quite enjoyable, basically a big name dropping of famous writers and people in Paris, and the time travel does lend it a nice magic feeling. Nothing special and it seems a bit repetitive at some point though.

Black Mirror

Amazing mini series of a world with slightly more advanced technology, perfectly showing the creepiness of already existing technology.

Must watch. For everybody.

The Creatures - (misc)

True enough, most songs sound pretty much like Siouxie and the Banshees, if just because of her voice. And many of them are just as amazing.

• "Pluto Drive"
• "Don't go to sleep without me" (almost - but not at all - a Bond song)
