1. Sunday morning and I found this movie score popping into my head as an appropriate piece to ease me into the day. ‘A Beautiful Mind’ is considered one of those movies undeserving of its best picture award, the opening riffs to this segment of the score and the brass throughout though make it a lovely piece to listen to.

Embedding is conveniently disabled by someone who wants to make me even crankier this evening and has a still from ‘Twilight’ as their profile picture. Warped tastes aside they have posted the best version of the score – find it here.

2. Buying my awesome new TV at the weekend (42 inches people!), which due to the intervention of the gods of karma, inconvenience and making life difficult was a three day 3 tooth extraction procedure at Harvey Normans, this song from one of my favourite bands, that of Dave Matthews, was playing on a display model. Small mercies and all that.

Again, embedding is disabled. Why don’t these people know I want to compile a post of music related Youtube clips to offer an insight into my life? Anyway, the clip is here. Its a song to decompress to. As ever with Matthews, I have no idea what he’s singing about. It sounds good so I listen.

3. Finally, in a spiralling pattern of no co-operation this Tenacious D song, Tribute, cannot be embedded. I listened to it having read a little review of ‘The Masterworks, Vol. 2′ in Empire, which catalogues their world tour to promote their movie ‘The Pick of Destiny’. It sounds like a good watch. I dont know how to describe music but I want to say the song builds really well. Anyway, listen here.
