My new favorite song is "The Loneliness Song" by Best Friends Forever. It is one of the songs on Say And Stay Said's third release.
Only time will tell if it eclipses The Expoding Hearts' "Throwaway Style" as my "most-listened-to" song.
On Monday, February 12, in the Union Cinema at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I provided music to two silent films. The films were made in France in the 1920's. Apparently, that era of filmmaking is often overlooked. It's a shame because the two films - "Paris Is Sleeping" and "Menilmontant" - were incredible.
For the accompaniment, I relied heavily on French composers. After all, the screening was part of the 10th Annual Festival of Films In French. I loaded up, in particular, on the music of Erik Satie. In going through his large variety of works, I gained a much greater appreciation and understanding of his works. In particular, I was charmed by his waltz, Je Te Veux.
In response to that performance, I went home and raced around Paris for awhile in an English race car.
