Talking Tuesday: On Repeat

This is not my usual sort of Talking Tuesday post, so please forgive me for a light-weight post.  I'm deep into transcription on my book (I've been writing most of the text long-hand and then transcribing into a word processing program over the past few months) and I almost have too much to say about things.  

I've been reading some apologetics books in the past two weeks (Francis Spufford's Unapologetic and David Skeel's True Paradox, plus some C.S. Lewis) and have more on my stack.  I've had a lot to think about.  I watched a thought-provoking French film by Michael Haneke last week and have been thinking about it on and off since.  Maybe I'll write about that one another time.

As a random aside, I recently remembered The Proclaimers.  (I thought they were cool because they were the only non-American band I'd ever heard sing in their own accents.  I always imagined the conversation went something like: "Bollocks to that, lads.  We're Scottish, so we're singing like it.") I was updating my ipod and remembered how much I loved their Sunshine on the Leith album in high school.  My best friend at the time had made me a cassette copy and I listened to that album almost constantly that year.  It was fun to revisit those songs and put some into a new playlist.  I've also been listening to Ed Sheeren a lot lately; his songs are so full of truth and rawness.  Oh, and a bit of Florence+The Machine.  Her music hits me in the gut (in a good way).

I know I keep banging on about Only Lovers Left Alive, but I think the mark of a truly great film is that you can't get it out of your head.  This film has been like that for me.  My favorite scene in the movie is underscored with this great soul song by Denise LaSalle, that I've had on repeat, so I will leave you with that.

Now back to transcription!
