Cowboy Junkies ~ Sweet Jane

Fascinating album as Duke Ellington reworks a couple of classical pieces into jazz. It’s called Three Suites because of the three pieces he took on. The first being Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, the second being Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt suite and the last being one of his own composition. An excellent listen.

“Rebel Yell” is a song originally sung by Billy Idol that is covered by The Chipmunks in The Chipmunks Go to the Movies episode Gremlionis.

Maybe it’s because it’s 3am and I might be half asleep (I don’t think so), but this song is incredibly calming. Thanks, Cyr. 

It’s Silent Night’s 200th birthday and there is a beautiful documentary about the history of the song. It’s in german and it aired already on german tv. They put this stream online and it will be available until the 25th December. Even if you don’t speak german maybe give it a try, there’s lots of music and christmas scenery in it 🎅
