Hey, thanks for listening. We were hoping to record a couple of months ago, but I think time just got away from us. I'll drop a line to Ewan and let him know you're asking! :)

I know them mostly for Get 'im Outta Town, which I love.

I like the Laughing Dogs too. The other bands feel new to me, so I'll check them out!

I'm also into the Rubinoos right now. So many great bands left to discover! That's part of the joy of this power pop journey! :)

She won an Oscar for Number Our Days. That's the film I think I might know most, but she directed a Cagney and Lacey TVM!

You're welcome. Not sure what to recommend... I think she mostly works on documentaries?

I love both. I did the commentary for Testament and had to watch a ton of nuclear war movies and my word... it was tough. Testament is a really fascinating and moving film.

Not quite sure it fits, but have you seen Special Bulletin? It's a TV movie about a domestic terrorist act that may lead to a nuclear explosion. It's very good. There's a Canadian film that uses this same approach (presented like news), but I'm forgetting the name of it. Testament is excellent too.

My second favorite. I have more recently become a Kelly girl, but do love Sabrina!
