The unbearable lightness of gunfire
The anime Gunslinger Girl may have a disturbing premise — school age girls turned into assassin cyborgs — but the music used for the opening credits, by the Scottish band the Delgados, is outstanding. I especially love the ethereal part after 3:30.

The famed and fabled EMI recording studios at Abbey Road, in St. John’s Wood, London, may be 80 years old, but the facility is up-to-date and it’s still a happening place. cnet has a gallery of photos.

Wicked games
I’m not a hockey fan, but the Boston Bruins are playing a wicked good game in Vancouver. They’re in the lead, 3-0, and I’m switching between watching that and Turner Classic Movies, where Chris Isaak is tonight’s guest programmer.
I haven’t seen Isaak live in a few years, but I’m a fan of his and these are exactly the movies I would have expected him to pick. They’re in keeping with the tone of his best known song, Wicked Game.
