Jeez, I never thought I’d be touting a Disney film on this blog, but hey, I’m an open-minded person.

SO, the lovely Cinematic Orchestra have worked with the London Metropolitan Orchestra (double your orchestral pleasure) to score the soundtrack of a Disney film about the life Flamingos in Tanzania. What else can I say? I watched the trailer, those birds are super cute and the music is wonderfully lush. I look forward to seeing it on the big screen.

My only complaint is that I got very excited to hear that they will perform the score live in London (initial reaction – yay!) but tickets are 32 quid… seems a bit steep. If you can afford it, then buy your tickets here. If you can’t, then you can always listen to the songs on Last.fm

Time has flown so fast, but alas, new mix ready. Enjoy & as usual I love to hear back if you liked it….

Soon the circus will be coming to town and come February ’10, I assure you – you won’t want to miss a thing! Find out more about the upcoming Red Bull Music Academy at this handy little taster session next week.

WHAT:
So you still feel somewhat skeptical about that thing they call the Red Bull Music Academy and don’t know what it’s all about? Here’s your chance to feel the Academy vibe to the maximum without actually attending it: a motherlode of Academy alumni and former Academy lecturers will convince even the heaviest Academy haters out there. Starting with Academy crew member Emma Warren interviewing Barcelona participant Goldielocks, plus an introduction by Tony Nwachukwu followed by Ross Allen talking to Joe Bataan and Emma Warren chatting with James pants, it doesn’t stop here. After production workshops hosted by Tony alongside Sinden and Goldielocks, we close this action-packed day with an intense afterparty featuring Sinden, Horse Meat Disco, James Pants, Ross Allen, Silkie and Goldielocks.
