Another great question!
Nirvana's Nevermi...Wow! Another great question!<br />Nirvana's Nevermind - I totally loved that album.It came out just before I went to Film school. I remember seeing Nirvana's shambolic interview on a TV show and then they performed "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. It still has this great kinetic energy. Poor old Kurt Cobain, the lost talent of his generation.When I first went to Seattle I made a pilgrimage to where they first performed and then to Aberdeen where he grew up. It was so desolate yet bleak in a beautiful way, I could see where their anger and passion came from. I want to go and listen to them now!<br />Elbow's - The Seldom Seen Kid. I loved Elbow before the hit the big time. And always wondered why they weren't yet mega. My brother's explanation was that they looked like four beery blokes from Manchester and one cool one. Which was true but they've gone on to be huge, which is great. The album came out around the time I had my daughter. I had a really difficult pregnancy so was in a state of euphoria when she was born that was reflected in the album. I remember walking round blissful with her in the pram, singing "Everything has Changed" from Mirrorball and "One day like this". Sublime.<br />Another album that had a big effect on me is "Dead Cities" by Future Sounds of London. This is very moody, ambient electronic music and I used it as the soundtrack for a documentaries series I made called "Behind the Crime" for Channel 4. It was about how criminals committed their crimes and was a trip to the dark side. The music was perfect - edgy, ambiguous, compelling. It also cost a fortune to use. But we all fell in love with it so I was allowed blow the budget (okay after a long eh, discussion!). It has a really strong London vibe and still sounds contemporary.<br />Cool question! thanks<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03043132327351088215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414275122692230397.post-56470798562075194962015-11-10T09:45:58.032-05:002015-11-10T09:45:58.032-05:00Great bio!

It appeals to both boys and girls. Even boys who are reluctant readers seem to be responding to it. And even better if they learn some history too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03043132327351088215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414275122692230397.post-48607216673819869672015-11-10T05:00:25.118-05:002015-11-10T05:00:25.118-05:00Thanks for hosting!Thanks for hosting!Goddess Fish Promotionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952608939319684406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414275122692230397.post-46043322791446780652015-11-10T04:16:17.255-05:002015-11-10T04:16:17.255-05:00A bloody period in history.
