Oh, at last. Two whole weeks after the concert of Dublin City Workingman’s Band in Sofia (January 26th, National Palace of Culture, Hall 2) I started to write about my own impressions from the event, mini review or sort of.

This concert was one of the numerous events, dedicated to our acceptance in the European Union. (All that jazz, I little bit annoying, huh?).

Before the concert small glasses with Baileys и Bushmills were responsible for ensuring the proper mood for Irish music. First Lilly Drumeva with her band Lilly of the West made some songs, very tender and totally unobtrusive stage performance.

The atmosphere was great, but could not prepare us at all for the following typhoon – the wonderful Workingman’s Band.

Terrific weather. And a bit terrifying, too.

I am standing here, on the other side of the rain, watching it with love, feeling transported and listening to a wonderful music.

You can also listen to it from here, if you like. She is precious finding to me, called Vienna Teng from Thailand.

While browsing around and jumping from link to link I am getting more and more wonder-struck how many incredible places there are, that I will and I will not visit ever in this life.

How much music that I will hear and I will not, people that I will meet and I won’t, books, movies, pictures…

The weather is strange, that’s probably why I am falling into this weightless mood. Today I feel like dreaming-contemplating-notworking, but! – acumulating creative energy.

(the picture is made from me, it is called heartfish and it is something like Dive Deep Down Inside)

In the lazy Sunday morning I just remembered this song of Texas:

(this woman has a good taste. Jean Reno is still Jean Reno.)

I was distracted, but the point here is the video, obviously inspired from the Wim Wenders’ movie “Wings of desire”.

I’ve been watched this movie several times and I like it very much.
But Michel has a different view about this movie, so I was curious how other people find it.

Please, watch it if you are not and tell me what you think.

Yesterday I realized that my promise for new song every day was a little bit out of hand.

First I thought it was a good idea and it could make me right more often. On the other hand, there’s a risk this place to become mainly a music blog.

That’s why I changed my mind and decided to post a song not every day, but from time to time. Good way to keep you in hot water, huh?

Today I just noticed a new star on the brit pop-stage – Lilly Allen. I was about to skip her quickly, when something made me stop and listen more carefully.
In fact is very pleasant to the ears, if you don’t mind the sadistic tease in the video. They say this girl will go home with many Brit awards.

Lily Allen – Smile. Listen this and tell me what you think. (me still humming the refrain)

P.S. And because a friend of mine asked for two songs today, here is one more from L. Allen. And one more. This girl is an interesting find, I mean it.

Only because i love this song and I think it’s good:

I bet you thought that I have forgotten the song for today?

Well, I am not. here it is, saying the most important:

Since yesterday I didn’t post a song, today i’ll compensate.

This song is from the movie Moulin Rouge and it’s performed by Ewan McGregor (and Alessandro Safina).
Personally, I like this performance, even if I am not aware of what Sir Elton John has in mind about it.

I stopped to trust his opinion since recently I read him saying somewhere in a interview, that James Blunt’s song You’re beautiful is the new equivalent of Your Song.

Here is my song for today: click

Clockwork Orange…
There’s nothing occasional with Blur, especially in the style of this video…

In this category I’ll put everyday from time to time one song (with video), which is corresponding with how I feel. (more…)
