"No, she's from Barnsley"

Wah. No more Life on Mars.

I was starting to feel like we hadn't had enough of the Test Card F girl this season. Glad to see her in the finale. ( spoilers )

Soundtracks

More than anywhere else, I encounter songs that I really enjoy in soundtracks. The movie Better than Chocolate was my first encounter with Ani Difranco (who I now consider to be the world's greatest singer/songwriter ever). The soundtracks for Solaris and The Hours are two of my favourite CDs.

Over the weekend, I bought my first song from iTunes -- a piece by Métisse called "Nomah's Land", which was used in Dead Like Me (Métisse has another piece called "Boom boom ba" which was also used, a few times, in Dead Like Me).

In the finale to Life on Mars, there's a hauntingly beautiful cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", I think by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Just one voice and a ukulele.
