They are the blind couple from Mali; I first saw them on the telly coverage of Glastonbury...not into 'world music' as such, but their music is joyous and infectious...check them out on utube [can't cut and paste, I'm afraid!]. Mark Kermode reckoned it was better to see the Devils Backbone before Pan's Labyrinth, but I'm glad I saw them the other way round..the finished product before the embryo I felt. Guillermos' films seem to have taken a downslide since, though. I caught Cronos on telly late one night, though, and it scared me witless. Similar to The Devils Backbone [not sure who directed] is Spirit of the Beehive, which I bought years ago and never got round to watching [think it's about the Spanish Civil War?]. I haven't seen any more Amlodovar [sp?] films; did he make Volver? I have that on [blast from the past] video. Took myself to the cinema to see TSILI by myself, knowing that the S.O. is a bit squeamish and loved it! I understand the new Springsteen is very good, but haven't heard it yet. Apologies; I'm putting off my 'day off' housework....
is it blue for anyone else?
