5-Minute Dance Party [Chinese— Capital Children's Choir]

Reblogged from Bluebird Blvd.:

Have you ever listened to a song that really shook you up? In a good way?

I've been haunted by this version of Lilly Allen's "Chinese," her tribute to her mother, Allison Owen, by the Capital Children's Choir for nearly a year now.

My name is Weegee. I’m the world’s greatest photographer.... Weegee [i].

Weegee drives at night. His 4x5 Speed Graphic sits in a special spot, ready to go, ready to arrive, ready to be a weapon, a tool, a foist.

Weegee drives at night. He's not aimless about it. Better not to say where he's headed, just that he's chewing a cigar and making left after left down the increasingly darker streets of New York City.

THE HUSBAND is finally watching the first show of the second BBC series of Sherlock.

The Husband: It was a great story, but I didn't like the ending.

Bluebird: Why not?
