Melody Gardot pays Tribute to Tim Burton

Multi-platinum, award winning singer/songwriter Melody Gardot performed at the Opening Ceremony of the 63rd Cannes Film Festival on May 12th at the Palais des Festivals. Her spectacular performance included a medley of songs from the blockbuster films Alice In Wonderland, A Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice in honour of their director Tim Burton. The Academy Award nominee is this year's President of the Jury at the Festival.

Melody said of the experience, "Being invited to perform at the festival, especially for Tim Burton, is a huge thrill for me as I have been a major fan of Burton's films for years! I grew up watching his films and find his mind to be incredibly creative. His use of light, color and the ability to dream while awake mirrors the way I feel about music."



Video to come.

Perhaps a turning point, perhaps not

I've had the urge to blog again recently. I'm not sure how I want it to go. Sure I want people to read it and thus spark a conversation in regards to music... but I'm just not sure how I want to go about it. Do I want to use my usual sarcastic and dark sense of humor? Or do I want to keep it light and just list the basics like I have been. Such choices... such choices...

I sit here in my kitchen, watching my dachshund chase birds his short little legs carrying him much faster than one can believe. The cloud of black and grey winged interlopers explode into the sky in a flurry of movement. Only to settle down quickly once he passes by. They know he's all bark and no bite. The new Adele plays in the background. A great backing soundtrack for a relaxing afternoon. Full of heartache, a touch of anger and a lot pulling yourself up by the bootstraps and getting things done. I hated her first. Anyone who's asked me knew that right off the back. It was a bad album. Every song sounded exactly the same to me. This one though... genius and amazing production too. Slick but still "raw" that's hard to do.

So while I ponder things about this blog... I leave you to check her out.
