Everyone loves Spotify

Some people still say, "what has Jimbo ever done for Marple?" Well he introduced some of its residents to the world of Spotify, which streams almost all the music ever recorded straight to your PC. Another nifty feature it offers is the ability to share playlists, and if you have Spotify installed you can click the link below to listen to a quick selection of old and new songs I put together this lunchtime.

Some pictures from the big night. You can see all of the pictures in full res on Flickr by clicking here.







The Flock (2007)

"I think about a girl who's dead because I didn't look in a closet."

If you're in the mood for a bleak, gritty thriller that's like a poor man's Se7en, then this is certainly one film you could consider. Richard Gere and Claire Danes run around trying to find a kidnapped girl and uncover lots of nastiness along the way. IMDB

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

"That man's whole body is property of the US army."

Did the world need another Incredible Hulk film? Edward Norton certainly thought so. And it's a little bit better than the last one. IMDB

White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes are here to welcome in the New Year - this is a song from their debut album released last year.
