BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 23/07/2026But I prefer the humanity and drama of Bernstein with the Concertgebouw. 010
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 20/07/2026All the Best was a massive gateway for me when I got the cassette in my Xmas stocking. I like that there are so many versions. Mine (Canadian) had Goodnight Tonight and We All Stand Together, but no Junior's Farm or Uncle Albert. And a different Once Upon a Long Ago than I've heard elsewhere. 100
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Nice! Along with the Octopussy theme, one of my favourite Rita Coolidge tunes. 000
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Name ten films you've seen at the cinema: Twelve Monkeys Ghostbusters 2010 Odyssey Two Skyfall Return of the Jedi Alien Resurrection Imagine: John Lennon Urban Legend Toy Story 3 The Incredibles 020
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Sounds like The Sundays meet S Club 7. Pensive, understated, but then a catchy chorus. 011
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 29/03/2026Yeah, but it's the self deprecating perpetual underdoggedly Canadian framing thing we tend to do up here. 110
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Did the @bluejaysbot.bsky.social broadcast just play #anginedepoitrine into the commercial break in the 10th??? 020
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Omg, yes. I've even had it when my status is in a meeting. Like, could you not even check my schedule to see if I'm otherwise engaged? 000
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 25/03/2026And you're not going to use it early unless you're damn sure. 010
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 15/03/2026My attempts to segue/shoehorn the topic into casual conversation have all seemed awkwardly unnatural in hindsight. Still don't have a winning formula to share.... 001
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 13/02/2026I get similar vibes from Berg's Op1 Piano Comcerto, and it also has many fun arrangements, including sextet: open.spotify.com/album/3DxFVp...open.spotify.comVerklarte Nacht 210
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 30/11/2025I didn't like that Brandon didn't have his hands up at the end of regulation. 030
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 01/09/2025What an awesome headline, Keegan. Did you write that one? If so, congratulations. 000
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Ooooh, let me know what you think, if you have a minute later. I'm on the lookout for my next to try. 110
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I love Psmith from #Wodehouse, but always suspected he wouldn't translate easily to the screen (difficult to make him likeable). But, it just occurred to me: perhaps he would have been appealing in the cartoonish recent Blandings TV adaptation. Any other thoughts? Who might play him well? 020
BrendanA @bmatt333.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Time Warrior is mine too! I stayed at Peckforton Castle for a couple nights as a base for a Wales trip (Portmeirion and Eye of Orion) this past spring. It was lovely! 000
