In no particular order:
- The 90s are back! Next year will bring new episodes for both Twin Peaks and X-Files.
- My wife gifted me tickets to the opening day show of the new Star Wars movie (trailer here if you care).
- I revisited the Dune soundtrack while browsing Youtube (yes, this still happens, though very infrequently these days), and noticed that while most of the music was done by what was popular at the time (Toto — I’d never heard of it), one track, titled “Prophecy” was contributed by Brian Eno! Check it out at the top of this post.
-
Finished listening to World Without End (No, not the Ken Follett one). Also, stockpiled six books and cancelled my Audible subscription temporarily (otherwise I’m just wasting credits).
- A nice commercial (from a few months ago), the making of the commercial, the original song it’s based on, and a nice cover I found (if you’re in a rush, skip the rest just listen to the recorded-at-home cover (by Larkin Poe), it’s wonderful).
(It’s so hard to remember stuff from just a month ago — no wonder the years gone by seem so hazy in terms of “what did I read?”, “what did I watch?”, etc!)
