During lock-down I did a library project with @HugodeChaire It turns out there is nothing more comforting than the 80s film score back-catalogue. @WeAreKPM @ExtremeMusic This is our tribute to it! open.spotify.com/album/57FZi…

Thank you so much @jonhenley for this incredibly nice piece for the @guardian marking five years of @EuropeansPod. When you put it this way, we really have covered a lot of ground. Might we even say... a continent's worth?

Believe the hype: @sundancefest premiere "Living" is a deeply affecting drama -- and, yes, a worthy remake of Kurosawa's "Ikiru," one of my faves -- propelled by a career-highlight lead performance by #BillNighy. The final rendition of "The Rowan Tree" had me misty eyed.
