And here, at last, is Z (just under the wire.) Zbigniew Preisner – Van Den Budenmayer – Concerto In E Minor (SBI 152) Version 1798 (from the soundtrack of La Double Vie de Veronique.) Simply put, this piece is glorious.

Happy New Year/Hogmanay all!

Almost done! Here’s my choice for Y – Weird Al Yankovic – White and Nerdy. The vid is the first take of the White and Nerdy music video. I couldn’t resist.

Dance Donny Dance!

High School flashback alert! (Well, for when I was in High School anyway.) My choice for X: XTC – King For a Day.

So…question: What would you choose for X? (Where the band needs to start with X.)

Well, here’s my choice for W: White Stripes – Seven Nation Army. What can I say? I just like the song.

Ok. Right here where we can all see them:

My Goals for 2012

• Lose 20 lbs
• Move
• Pay off the other car
• Replace the last non-flat panel screen.
• Use up the cards in my desk by actually sending out mail to people.
• Buy a new couch
• Use up the massages, then cancel Massage Envy Account
• Consolidate domains in one place
• Accomplish something on The Sekrit Project

Okay, with two weeks to go in the year, here is my choice for the letter V. Vienna Teng’s Blue Caravan is a melancholy exploration of a self-created reality. It’s also beautiful. Give it a listen and see what you think.

And this should be the last of the Holiday Haikus. Emma asked for “bear(s)” so I hope that this works for her. Happy holidays to all and sundry!

Bears Have The Right Idea
Some large predators
hibernate during winter
to avoid the mall

Here’s the next holiday haiku. This one is for my friend JM who asked for “Snow.” I hope that this works for her. (I took the photo below when I was on my way through Yosemite to get out the other side.)

Snow
Delicate crystals
used for skiing and snowmen
Oh. And snowballs. Duck!

Remember how I said I wanted to finish this music thing by the end of the year? Well, here is my Letter U. Urbanized feat. Silvano – Helpless (from the film Jeffrey) was nigh impossible to find the correct version of. Everyone seems to think various remixes are the correct version. Sorry, none of those remixes do it for me. The version I want is the one from my Jeffrey soundtrack. Here it is. If you liked the film Jeffrey, you might enjoy the slideshow on the video. Otherwise, just enjoy the music.

The request for this Haiku was “Chocolate! Or cats.” So…I combined them. Hope that it works. Of course, it also comes with a bonus video for a bit more added value/explanation.
