While nothing beats the Hoff in anything (except Chuck Norris), I like this better (the movie rocks too, it's free on YouTube)
What music are you listening to right now?

Not when it's 30 mins 'till last call and you're drunk it isn't!
I'm suddenly on a Thomas Newman kick after watching Meet Joe Black:
I never saw the movie until this last weekend; somehow it came up in conversation with the wife and she was aghast. I'd heard pieces of the soundtrack before via one of my favorite Pandora channels. Great flick IMO, not sure why it didn't seem to do so well back when it was first released, maybe it was too long for some?
Anyway, great soundtrack if you're into those big flowing orchestral pieces.

Ok I realise it's been quite a while since I last supplied B3D with some epicness, so I know I have to post something extra special to make up for it and to restore people's levels of epicness to a good level.
So here it is the Prog Rock Behemoth that crushes everything in it's path the one, the only (are you sitting down)
LOVE BEACH - by THE BEEGEES
i'M JOKING......
PS: Under no circumstances buy Love beech (not even for the cover)
While Emerson Lake & Palmer have produced many epic records Love beech is not one of them
it is (and I apologise to B3D readers who haven't studied music theory for getting technical) in fact "Shite"
Right I'll start again.

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON - PINK FLOYD
So what's it about I hear you ask.
Well I will tell you
Each side of the vinyl album is a continuous piece of music. The five tracks on each side reflect various stages of human life, beginning and ending with a heartbeat, exploring the nature of the human experience and, according to Waters, "empathy".
"Speak to Me" and "Breathe" together highlight the mundane and futile elements of life that accompany the ever-present threat of madness, and the importance of living one's own life – "Don't be afraid to care".
By shifting the scene to an airport, the synthesiser-driven instrumental "On the Run" evokes the stress and anxiety of modern travel, in particular Wright's fear of flying.
"Time" examines the manner in which its passage can control one's life and offers a stark warning to those who remain focused on mundane pursuits; it is followed by a retreat into solitude and withdrawal in "Breathe (Reprise)".
The first side of the album ends with Wright and vocalist Clare Torry's soulful metaphor for death, "The Great Gig in the Sky".
"Money", the first track on side two, opens with the sound of cash registers and rhythmically jingling coins. The song mocks greed and consumerism with sarcastic lyrics and cash-related sound effects.
"Us and Them" addresses the isolation of the depressed with the symbolism of conflict and the use of simple dichotomies to describe personal relationships.
"Any Colour You Like" tackles the illusion of choice one has in society.
"Brain Damage" looks at mental illness resulting from the elevation of fame and success above the needs of the self; in particular, the line "and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes" reflects the mental breakdown of former bandmate Syd Barrett.
The album ends with "Eclipse", which espouses the concepts of otherness and unity, while encouraging the listener to recognise the common traits shared by humanity.

Coldplay 2012 concert bluray. It sounds really really really good in surround sound.
Anyone have other blurays recommended? Or maybe on appletv or something?

Been playing Alan Wake 2, and that led me back to a band I'd forgotten. Now I'm in love again 
This had a massive cultural influence in the U.K where it was the 32nd best-selling studio album of all time

What's it about? - It's war of the Worlds what the hell do you think it's about
(plus I'm not going to type in an entire novel)
