This is very interesting. Coming from someone who hasn't listened to Russell before, I don't know whether I prefer the originals or covers. They're so different. :) I received your mixtape a few weeks ago by the way, I'm sorry I completely forgot to let you know. It was really, really nice, and arrived at such a convenient time, too. Merci bien!

I just had to comment because you are the only other person to list Alice in the Cities (my favorite movie) as an interest on LJ. Very nice!

the best road movie i ve ever seen

btw, recently i have discovered amazing female singer-songwriter - sibylle baier - its beynd me to tell anything about her songs but they are simply beautiful.
there's one moment in alice in the cities almost everyone doesnt pay attention to and which doesnt remain in memory but its the moment when alice and philip being totally hungry are relaxin on the bank of some lake in the park. then one strange idea comes to alice's mind - to ask if the woman lying right next to them considers philip to be her father. after that they chat briefly, share a banana with her and even stay for a night at her apartment.
well... all this long narration is just about sibylle baier since she was exactly that woman lying on the grass right next to them )))

lately wim wenders even used some of her songs in one of his movies - do not remember its title at the moment

That's fantastic, and of course I remember that scene! Alice wants to sneak out because in her childish way, she is jealous. I will have to look for her work.
