Compare 1

Over the years I've come to notice some songs that have very similar melodies, in these "compare" entries, I will mention them.

Enya - Deora ar mo Choi
Lange - Follow me (Original mix)

If you listen to them, let me know what you think as far as any similarities.

Kat Arney

One of best podcasts out there is "Naked Scientist" podcast a program where they intend to expose science. Kat Arney is one of the group.

Well it turns out she's something of a musician, too. Check out her stuff here, on her myspace page. "Untitled for harp" is good stuff.

Benh Zeitlin

If you've seen the obama video "We have a lot of work to do".
You will note that complementing his amazing speed, is a great song by Dan Romer & Benh Zeitlin called "Memorial" "Elysian Fields" and "U.S.S. Jimmy Lee".



Upon finding this song, I realized that the movie, Glory at Sea, is almost entirely unavaible. It has a reference on iMDB (25 minute runtime) and a web page and a trailer, but no way to get it. You can't order it on amazon, you can't download it on itunes and the movie's website doesn't give any hints as to a general progression in that direction.

Here's my prediction: Benh Zeitlin, currently on the periphery of the public spot light, isn't going anywhere. He's definitely going to rise to fame, and I imagine that it will be through amazing soundtracks.

Some stupid thing you've seen before.

Either you're a complete idiot, or I'm right in saying that this study is a piece of shit:

It's that famous study, where some dude wrote using misspelled words, but keeping the first and the last letter the same.

Well I rearranged the letters of the first paragraph of an article from the times, does it work?

Keep in mind that this would take about 15 seconds to read with standard spelling.
