FAVE video of the week: when snow patrol met claude lelouch

taken from my music blog

snow patrol - open your eyes
[oh my god this is just plain brilliant!!! shot in 1976, the images for this video actually come from a short film called "C'était un Rendezvous" by the french filmmaker Claude Lelouch. the director has never allowed the footage to be used for any purposes (making it a cult film in the process) until now. add to the fact that it fits perfectly to snow patrol's single. amazing really!]


claude lelouch - c'etait un rendez vous (1976)
[because i'm such a film nerd, here is the full experience! shot during a 5:30am drive through paris, this is just crazy how fast the driver went that day (this was shot in a single take with NO editing whatsoever). which makes the ending completely dramatic and all the more beautiful.]

sugababes vs girls aloud - walk this way
[as part of the UK comic relief charity red nose day, mega girl bands (all my favorites!) girls aloud and sugababes have collaborated for the 1st time on the classic aerosmith/run dmc track "walk this way". leading up to the march 17th live event will be a bunch of programs on television including a celebrity version of fame academy, the uk apprentice and also an episode of casualty written by my favorite screenwriter richard curtis. thanks to popjustice for the video heads up!]

it's been an amazing year and i just wanted to wish all of you a wonderful holiday season over the next week.
since i'm away myself, here are some holiday musical gems (thanks to wongies music world) that i thought i'd leave for you.


the pogues feat kirsty maccoll - fairytale of new york [link 1/2]
[definitely one of my favorite songs of ALL time. in the process, might have possibly made me less sappy in life as i was growing up!]


declan o'rourke feat nina kinert - christmas wine (acoustic version) [link 1/2]
[a new discovery from ireland which i keep on going back to these days. really beautiful and wistful in the best way.]

[um... need i say more?]

madonna - live to tell (confessions tour version)

it's a slow week in news (unless i decide to talk about britney's constant punani exposure, which i won't) instead, i've taken this 9 minute interlude from my music blog wongie's music world enjoy!:


madonna - live to tell (confessions tour)
[this is the performance that didn't make the NBC special last week. definitely one of my all time favorite madonna songs ever and the dancing intros are awesome!]
