And so I'm off out to hear Vivaldi's Four Seasons played out by the Festive Orchestra of London tonight down at St Martin-in-the-Fields, at a night, not so surprisingly, entitled : Vivaldi Four Seasons by Candlelight. Sounds terrific, excepting for the fact that I'll be going on my bloody own! Again. Flaky mates. Too many show tickets wasted by me, and I've been wanting to do this for ages, so lets see how we get on.

A treat for the ears this is! Anyone remember how effective this was in soundtracking the harshness of all that is the Requiem For A Dream movie? I found it showing over the weekend at around 2am in the morning, and must have only managed about a half hour before deciding to pack it in for fear of what was still to come. Strange, this is perhaps the only film I know that gets me feeling the way I do.

Following my previous Dakar & Grinser post with yet another cover version tonight. This time around we have a Bob Dylan cover to lay down, and an equally fantastic version it is too by Norwegian singer-songwriter Even Johansen a.k.a Magnet. I must admit that until a minute ago I thought that Magnet were a band from the north of England somewhere... Cheers Wikipedia for that one.

Quite a treat on offer tonight. Well that's my opinion at least. Much thanks and appreciation to the Balanescu Quartet for producing this strings only cover of "The Model," by TSID superheroes Kraftwerk! Consisting of 3 violins and a cello I think... Anyway I dont care much for the words I do type to accompany my posts, though this is one of those times when I do wish that I had some form of learned journalistic touch in accurately describing this masterpiece to the full. Sorry!
