Jonny's Recent Decent TV
So, it’s 3:30 am and my mind is buzzing; it appears I have insomnia again.
I’m being dramatic, I don’t have insomnia, just awful sleep patterns. I find blogging helps, or so I tell myself. It actually furthers the problem and means I probably won’t get to sleep till at least 5am. I currently have little to wake up for though so its no biggie. I am unemployed and usually...

Is Facebook eroding the meaning of friendship?
Here begins a rather long rant about Facebook and the impact of social networking sites on the meaning of friendship.
The other day I was going through deleting people from my friend list who I haven’t spoken to in years and have no intention of speaking too. We all have Facebook friends from our school days or friends of friends that we once met at a party or worse, old friends of friends...

African Vibes: a few of my favourite African...
On a hot (almost summer’s) day, this music fits oh so well. Thought I’d share a few of my favourite African musicians with you. They’re very different from the popular western music we’re used to (which quite frankly I get very bored of, same formulas used over and over).
First up is Amadou and Mariam, then a band from the Saharan desert called Tinariwen (meaning...

Furious
“His love is deep, His love is wide, And it covers us. His love is fierce, His love is strong, It is furious. His love is sweet, His love is wild, And its waking hearts to life.
…He is waking hearts to life.”

WatchMy favourite Christian worship song right now. After taking an amazing version from a meeting off youtube they finally put this acoustic set up on Vimeo. For more great songs from this church and worship leader, search Bethel Live on youtube for tracks from the latest Here Is Love album.

My favourite soundtracks
I thought I’d put together a list of my favourite film soundtracks. Some are particularly great songs while most are part of brilliant soundtracks which fit perfectly with their films. I’ve chosen 7, with no particular favourite. All of them, except Little Miss Sunshine, are on Spotify too. Click on track titles or images for YouTube links.

WatchLovely short French animation called ‘Schizein’. A man is struck by a meteorite and finds he is 91cm from where he should be. Its beautifully made and winner of the short film award at Cannes.

Best films of 2009 →
Planning to work my way through this list by the BFI of the top films of 2009. Was pretty disappointed with the Guardian’s 100 best films of the noughties but this looks like the real deal.

ThruYou: Kutiman mixes YouTube →
I posted this a while ago now but seeing as ive just started on here thought i would repost and also its so good, deserves another look. They’re not all funk/jazz. My favourite is probably The Mother of all Funk Chords just for sheer madness.
