Snakes on a Plane
I feel glad that I seem to have been completely oblivious to the apparent fever over the recently released movie Snakes on a Plane. It took me quite a while before I believed that the whole thing wasn’t just a very big snake joke.
The hollywood execs really worked overtime on this one. I mean, there are snakes, and they’re on a plane. Brilliant.
At least people aren’t taking it seriously.
Thanks to Jason Kottke for the badge.
Jazz on 4 from 74
Tonight, BBC4 aired a recording of Oscar Peterson along with Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and Joe Pass, performing at Ronnie Scott’s back in 1974. I’ve been an Oscar Peterson fan a long time, but I must admit that I’m only really familiar with his stuff from the 60s with Ed Thigpen and Ray Brown. For me he represents one of the finest jazz pianists of all time and the live session from Ronnie Scott’s was truely astonishing. If you’re not familiar with his music, I highly recommend you take a look.
