New Bill Frisell (@BillFrisell) Album out, here's a promo video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzZpqlfkwvU From his website "Bill Frisell draws upon the classic film and television music we have heard on screen and how it shapes and informs our emotional relationships to what we see." http://billfrisell.com/news/when-you-wish-upon-star Bill Frisell - You Only Live Twice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mIyCJZARVg I've found most of the recent Frisell albums to be relatively tame and unadventurous (for him) whilst beautifully crafted and produced. I'd like something with a bit more edge again from him. https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=mwL4x2-KvJ0&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DdzZpqlfkwvU%26feature%3Dshare

Hey Jason Pepper!

Hey Jason Pepper! Hoping you'll notice this... or I'l have to go via FB :P I'm interested to know how you are getting on with your Pixel LS. Can chat here or via email (I'm sadams.uk@gmail.com) - or maybe a hangout at some mutually convenient time. Are you running Crouton? VM's within Crouton I'm thinking of splurging on one but would be great to pick your brains. I love ChromeOS but I also love and need some Linux.

Bowie's ★ Sax player Donny McCaslin (@dmccee) speaks. #Bowie #Blackstar

Bowie's ★ Sax player Donny McCaslin (@dmccee) speaks. #Bowie #Blackstar He'd understandably gone quiet on Twitter but I just had another look and found a brief quote:  "When the album was released on Jan. 8, critical praise was immediate. But elation turned to devastation just three days later, when news of Bowie’s passing broke in the early hours of Jan. 11. McCaslin heard when a BBC journalist called him at 4 a.m. “The last week and a half has been like no other; it’s been a bipolar experience,” he admits." http://nypost.com/2016/01/22/donny-mccaslin-remembers-the-last-time-he-saw-david-bowie-alive/ Also a nice statement on his website: "It was in many ways a dream come true although I'm not sure I could have dreamed of such a thing. And now I'm equal parts sad and grateful for everything that has happened. David Bowie was an inspiration to work with and Blackstar is a testament to the time Mark Guiliana, Tim Lefevbre, Jason Lindner, Ben Monder, and I ...

Right class: hands-up if you voted for & support primary school pupils taught in 'super-size' classes http://gu.com/p/4fzac #Insane #Idiocy Nobody? Then why has our government engineered this then? More than half a million children are being taught in “super-size” classes of over 30 pupils as overstretched primary schools... http://gu.com/p/4fzac?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B

The davidbowie.com website homepage is an infinitely scrolling thing of beauty. @DavidBowieReal #Bowie http://www.davidbowie.com/ It's rare these days we go to a website's homepage as we tend to land on a specific page directed from a social media post. But DB's homepage is worth a visit as it's a lovely infinitely scrolling set of images and really well done.

RIP Mr #Rickman  "By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, you shall be avenged!" #GalaxyQuest   #Spoliers   Cancer, 69 :(  I love this film and particularly Rickman's performance. I saw him once in the Foyer at the Barbican and I really, REALLY wanted to do this line to him (but I couldn't remember it) and in those dark, pre-smartphone days I couldn't just ask my (dumb)phone. #HowDidWeLiveThen   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7bo_A6XnUU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Quest#Cast https://www.youtube.com/attribution_link?a=PUXURXqlSYw&u=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dr7bo_A6XnUU%26feature%3Dshare
