Saoirse Ronan is so, so, sooooo good. Best actress of her generation. The song aint bad also.
50th anniversary!?! Sometimes I read something and I feel old. This is one of those times.
That was a delightful watch, and, unlike a distressingly large fraction of music videos, worth the time.
Is there some recent trend of bands that have been around a while releasing contemporary music videos? We have this one, Christopher Cross and "Ride Like the Wind", and Lynyrd Skynyrd and "Free Bird"!
Loved it. And as a bonus, it segued into the brand new, released yesterday on 19 June, Wes Anderson short film for Montblanc. This is the second, I think. Am glad I watched — enjoyed it heartily, more than the first Montblanc ad.
It being Brian Wilson's birthday, an "official" video for "God Only Knows" was posted today on another blog I follow. It was clearly a recent video.

I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
