on the streets of san fransisco

My cinematic pilgrimages have been on the decline since October, mostly because I'm currently doing a 5 week rotation outside of Glasgow, in this quaint rural (optimistic replacements for small and isolated) town called Ayr. But seriously the scenery is breathtaking indeed, especially since the kitchen of the house overlooks this massive plain... and when the glory of the morning sun begins to peep into the house.... coupled with the serene solitude of dawn...well moments like those are just too precious for words.
Anyway, I'm grossly digressing from the matter in focus!!!!!!!!!
Yes, like I was saying, the cinema..... anyways, there's this advert by Sony for their new LCD TV screen....you know the one with all the balls. Its a really really beautiful advert. Danish director, Nicolai Fuglsig fired 250,000 multi coloured bouncy balls down a street in San Fransisco. Against the acoustic masterpiece 'Heartbeats' by Jose Gonzalez, this is one of those adverts that really can get to you.....in someway or the other.... then again maybe its just me!!!

the talented mr robert downey jr

I just got Robert Downey's debut album. Amazing album... a rusty smoky voice and beautiful lyrics...doesn't get any better. This is one of my favourite songs off the album

[broken]

Love in these modern times
There'll be someone new every night
With some other love yarn
To wrap my arms around
No one else can understand

In love with a broken heart
Think I leave today, I cover it all this way
You fell in love with a broken heart
Every eartly breath, a lifeless testimony
In love with a broken heart
Don't you know

God grant me the strength to accept the
things I can change and change them

In love with a broken heart
Face in every cloud, makes me laugh out loud
You fell in love with a broken heart
Shouts to keep it down, wagon draws a crowd
In love with a broken heart
Don't you know

written and performed by
ROBERT DOWNEY JR.
