Miracles happen

Both Game of Thrones and The Borgias provided their best episode to last on Sunday, and The Killing has never been that good since the pilot!

No, I don't think it's my view or mood that have changed, the three shows were really much better this week, especially The Borgias.

For the first time the writing of The Borgias was really refined and sophisticated (thanks to the Greeks, the Latin and the use of metaphors and parallels in the structure of the episode!); Game of Thrones made its characters real and moving and took care of the transitions between scenes, and The Killing has found back its groove, providing an engrossing episode that had me on the edge of the seat, paying hommage to Six Feet Under at the beginning of the episode and building up the tension.

And I'm so excited about the season finale of Justified tomorrow! Timothy Olyphant was so good in the previous episode.

The Bear plays

A few weeks ago  bought the BSG Piano Book that has been released lately, with arrangements for piano of the BSG scores by  Bear McCreary himself.

Some pieces I know I will never be able to play, others I might some day.

Today Bear posted a new blog announcing: Every two weeks, I will upload a new video of me performing a piece from the “BSG” Piano Music Book, at my own living room piano. with a clip of his playing "Prelude to war" uploaded a youtube channel he made for BSG perfomances because as he wrote: This channel isn’t just for me.  You are all invited to take part in this “online living room concert.”

I'm afraid that this is a piece I will never be able to play.

Bear added on his blog : I anticipate some beautiful performances, as I’ve already seen in some fan videos.  But I’m also looking for creative folks who will reinterpret this material in a unique or entertaining way.

Can you play a “BSG” song on an instrument other than piano?  Can anyone out there tackle a duet of “Kara Remembers?”  Or a rock band performance of “Pegasus?”  There’s plenty of room for inventive performances here.

Isn't the Internet a wonderful thing?

PS: Now, how cool woud it be if Eric Stoltz took part of the online living room concert and uploaded a performance of his own?
