How's your weekend going? I spent nearly all of yesterday sorting through make-up and toiletries since we did some repair work to our bathroom vanity this week (and since I'm a Make up Artist there was a lot to go through). Unfortunately, the basin is still leaking but we're hoping that by being more vigilant with emptying out water, then the vanity can function for a bit longer until we have the finances to renovate the bathroom. (I did look into replacing the vanity but it's quite a large size - 1600mm wide which is non-standard and therefore $$$). Appreciate any advice if anyone knows of a way to waterproof the underside of an acrylic basin, it seems to be leaking where the drain meets the pipe?
In other news, and relating back to the title of this post, I came across this clip yesterday and I have replayed it so many times. I do love this song and this cover version is almost better than the original!! (I had a sneak peak at the original yesterday, funnily it reminded me of a quilt pattern and also doing work experience on a pilot for Young Lions where I had to bodypaint the extras!) Check this out if you have a few mins, I'm sure you will love it as much as I do.
I planned to do this post a few days ago when a friend from my choir group emailed me the link but I've been offline for a couple of days cleaning and getting ready for a house guest who arrived yesterday (163 items in my Reader!).
Anyway, earlier in the year our choir learnt The Ship Song by Nick Cave/Tony Backhouse. It took a few months to get it right and we performed it at The Ferncourt Fair back in May. When we nail it it brings goosebumps and I have even had people who hear us perform it say that it also gives them goosebumps. I think it's one of the best songs we perform and certainly one of my favourites. Makes all the work worthwhile!
So here is what I wanted you to see, a fabulous version of a beautiful song created by the Sydney Opera House. It is best viewed at The Ship Song Project but if you can't be bothered going there you can click on the clip below. See how many famous faces you can spot!
Remember that 70s hit by Toto, Africa? I remember it really well because my sister and her husband played it a lot when I was little. Anyway, a different dear brother-in-law (my husband's brother) put me onto this Youtube clip of a choir doing this song.
Check it out and let me know what you think. I really love the Michael Wislow/Jerry Seinfield guy! (I think I secretly wish I could do mouth percussion).
