we are only made of air and dust

cheers to lauds for letting me know ~ Tom Mcrae's live appearance on Janice Long's BBC Radio 2 programme. Tom is the guest for the November 24 programme, and 20 minutes in, they read my email as the introduction for Tom.

look Ma, I'm internet famous!

in other news, I'm fine - the North Korea terror tactics are nothing new here (unfortunately) and I didn't get anything from the US embassy, so it's a wait and see situation. As it always is.

Mmmmmmm. I've just had an in-and-out burger (that's what a hamburger's all about), finished capping episode 4, and now am starting the process of resizing/tweaking them. My love for episode 4 knows no boundaries - right now it's my favorite of series so far, and also the best episode yet. Therefore, I'm doing a super size screen cap review, that will be split into several parts over individual posts and spotlights on certain scenes, so that's that for this week.

I also went to Target today and bought myself a memory foam mattress topper - when I fall asleep, I sleep, but any little extra help I can get is always appreciated.

Another song rec - because Tom's music is brilliant and needs to be heard. King of Cards is the most obviously radio-friendly album he's released, but it's still Tom, master of snark and melancholy beauty.

for siryn99 and anyone else who wants a refresher course on Tom Mcrae's music, aka the reason why I'm going to be out of the country next Wednesday (and totally not in a stalkery-superobsessive way, mind you). I'm missing VM's season premiere, and Serenity's release. Damn straight seeing Tom play live with a band is worth that.

A selection of tunes, from all of Tom's studio albums, and some live renditions as well - if I've missed any particular favorites, they'll probably show up in part II. Feel free to spread the Tomination.
