Appreciation... Shed 7
Bit of Brit Pop nostalgia here this afternoon while I enjoy some music as I to some stuff around my apartment. I really loved Shed 7's song, "Chasing Rainbows", in 1998. A very good year for me as I was working both at Media Play and got my first go at Comix Connection!
Oddly enough, this video is how I discovered David Lean's film, A Brief Encounter, after I went looking for the book the guy in the train car's reading. Turned out there really wasn't a book, as the film was personally adapted by Noel Coward from his own screenplay, Still Life. From my experience watching A Brief Encounter, I went on to watch a lot of other British films from the time period, such as Carol Reed's films, The Third Man and Fallen Idol, which then introduced me to writer Graham Greene. Thus my appreciation for Lean, Coward, Reed, and Greene was born out of my affection for a 4 minute pop song.
