That is quite the allegation you’re making re: the scoring of No Reservations. It brings to mind the score of American Beauty which I thought always sound very Gaseous. Maybe that’s different because it’s a Newman… keep up the good work, and good luck at Roundhouse this weekend, I’m gonna try and make it.

Swoon-worthy
The December issue of Harpers Bazaar has some absolutely gorgeous pictures of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in it.
I found them all so swoon-worthy that I just had to share …..

I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the other Benjamin Britten arrangement of “The Holly and the Ivy.”

Nico,

I’m a 24-year-old composer who, for the last year and half, has been writing music for television shows and commercials. Drop me a line if you’d like me to shed some light on the business, from imitation to law suites! Happy 2010.

I love cruises – last week (12/20-27) was on a cruise out of NO with sixteen members of my family – we could almost have waved in Cozumel. Were you on the Spirit?

And what of your 2009 work with Antony, and his upcoming album?

“Boy Lilikoi” is my favorite song in years.

JÃ³nsi’s song is wonderful. I think you did a really good job with the arrangement. My dad doesn’t agree, but I think it actually sounds distinctly non-Sigur RÃ³s (although his distinctive voice, of course will make anything sound a bit Sigur RÃ³s). I think the flute is especially lovely.

I think the arrangement of “The Infant King” is by Edgar Pettman rather than Willcocks:

That DFW essay is magnifique. Also, his _Consider the Lobster_, which, upon finishing, made me cry. This just last week. In it an essay that talks about a trip to the Maine Lobster thing with his parents and gf.

Also, weigh in here: Helios’ Britten (with the Corydon Singers e Matthew Best): “A Boy was Born,” “Festival Te Deum,” Rejoice in the Lamb,” e “A Wedding Anthem.” Was it The Best Thing To Get for 11.99?

I think the waiter comment is some other guy yanking your chain, yes.

And going on a cruise with your bf’s family is a truly heroic act, given the lack of escape options not involving life rafts. I hope he appreciates your valor!

Happy 2010 to you – your blog’s always worth reading, just in case people don’t tell you that enough.

“…one of three things: Thomas Newman, Philip Glass, or Massage Parlor Ethnic Putumayo Potpourri, and then your job as the composer is to imitate that to the best of your ability, with two weeks to do it and a bunch of angry people screaming at you talmbout is it done yet.”

Nico, you nailed it.
