O Soave Fanciulla – Act 1 (1896) – Giacomo Puccini
This is the second musical piece to feature here from Italian composer Giacomo Puccini. I first heard this in the movie Moonstruck which I reviewed here. O soave fanciulla (O gentle maiden) is a romantic duet from the first act of Giacomo Puccini’s 1896 opera La…
La Basurita (1976) – Flor Silvestre
La Basurita (Little Garbage) was recommended to me here in Colombia and I was always fond of it. It is a type of ‘Ranchera‘ music which is traditional Mexican music that often features a Mariachi band. It originated in northern…

The music by Australia singer – songwriter David Bridie features here more than any other Australian artist. I consider him one of the most underrated artists I have been fortunate to listen to and see live. He is founding member…
Feliz Año Nuevo! (Happy New Year)
For some, it’s a day to celebrate a new beginning and form resolutions; for others it’s an excuse to be festive and enjoy with family and then there are others who just see it is as another day; another number…
Keep Me in Your Heart (2003) – Warren Zevon
I think Keep Me in Your Heart was the first Zevon song I came across and immediately took a liking. Later I would hear Mutineer, Lawyers, Guns and Money, & Werewolves of London. If you searched this song on a…
Zodiac – David Fincher (Friday’s Finest)
When I first saw today’s featured movie directed by David Fincher, I wasn’t that impressed with it, but on subsequent viewings I admired it a heck of a lot more. It doesn’t reach the jaw-dropping stature of Fincher’s own Se7en,…
