Happy Full Moon!

It has just risen here and is hanging full and heavy in the sky.....

(scenes from Outlander. Music by the amazing Bear McCreary).

Music Monday - Outlander

From when the Druids dance...

Figure Friday, and Happy Solstice!

Last life drawing day of the year -

And since the world didn't end today, here's a gorgeous video to celebrate the earth (and Bear McCreary music) - click here.

Music Monday - Theme from Caprica

I watched the final five episodes of the short-lived Caprica this weekend. They got progressively more compelling and I'm sad that the series is canceled. But Bear McCreary continues to be my current favorite TV-music composer, and I am posting Caprica's opening credits in his and the show's honor.


Youtube won't let me embed the equally awesome visuals that accompanied the opening theme, but you can watch it here - highly recommended 46 seconds of awesome.

Music Monday - TSCC

In keeping with the TV-music theme, today I will share with you one of my favorite impressively-put-to-music scenes from the start of the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (This scene bookends the finale of season one - artistic carnage put to Johny Cash's "The Man Comes Around".) The combination of music, vocals and mostly wordless action packs a more poignant punch to the stories they are telling:


Samson and Delilah, sung by Shirley Manson, the Scottish-born lead singer of Garbage, who also played a main character in season 2.

I will also rhapsodize about the wonder that is the composer for this series, Bear McCreary, (who also did the amazing soundtrack for Battlestar Galactica) but that is another post, another day...
