Anyway. Things I have liked in recent times:
Danny Boyle's Olympics Opening Ceremony;
Usain Bolt's schtick;
Writing a Xmas song;
Getting a wee bit better on the piano;
Philip Glass live in Glasgow (he performed this);
Philip Glass's Dracula with Kronos Quartet live in Glasgow;
Antoine Duhamel;
Pixar-Disney's Brave (not just because Julie Fowlis sings in it - but it helped);
Julie Fowlis on the BBC Review Show;
Instagram;
@Glinner on Twitter;
TFC gigs in Norway (there's talk of recording a new album - I'm keeping my eyes crossed);
Scottish Opera's Tosca;
Getting some of my music in the Baby Cow show "Starlings";
A sneak preview of a work-in-progress song from the forthcoming Heidi Talbot album produced by John McCusker - get ready, there is a song on there that reminds me of hearing Laura Cantrell for the very first time;
Woody Allen documentary;
Screening of the Wrecking Crew and Q&A with Denny Tedesco;
News that Bob Dylan is releasing a new album;
Beach Boys Do It Again (ahem, the original version);
Oh I heard a joke: It's not safe to walk the streets of Venice. Ta dah! Och, please yerself;
Is this Tom Waits' best song? I forget all about it and then every once in a while it sneaks up and pounces on me;
And finally, we can't be pals if you don't like this (those wee snare drum re-entries - jeez Louise!):
Later, 'gator.
