Eleventh

Eleventh Doctor is played by Matt Smith. I don't know much about him yet, because I just started watching 5. season. I know it will be hard for me to get used to him, but anyway I think he may be intresting and nice guy.

 

Song for Ten

Tenth Doctor was played by David Tennant in 2-4 season. He was funny and kind, but sometimes he needed someone to stop him from going to far in  his actions.

Ninth Doctor

Ninth Doctor was the first one I "met" and he is my favourite. A lot of fans forget about him, because season with him was the shortest, but it was worth to see. Ninth is symphatetic, sassy and maybe more mature than next Doctor. I really regret that there wasn't more episodes with him.

Doctor Who Week

Doctor Who is British tv show. It is produced since 1963 by BBC.

The Rite of Spring

"The Rite of Spring" was composed by Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky, Russian composer, pianist and conductor.

The ballet "The Rite of Spring" was written in 1913. The premiere had place in Paris and it caused riot in the audience. People found it outrageous and barbaric, cause of its pogan theme.

It is considered the beginning of 20th century music.

In"Hannibal" we can hear a fragment of it in season 1, episode 4 when Hannibal tries to play on Will's piano.

Vide Cor Meum

"Vide cor meum" means "See my heart". It is title of pice of music composed by Patrick Cassidy.

It is performed by Danielle De Niese & Bruno Lazzaretti.

Chorus: And thinking of her

Sweet sleep overcame me

I am your master

See your heart

And of this burning heart

Your heart

(Chorus: She trembling)

Obediently eats.

Weeping, I saw him then depart from me.

Joy is converted

To bitterest tears

I am in peace

My heart

I am in peace

See my heart

Goldberg Variations

Favourite piece of music of Hannibal in book is "Goldberg Variations" composed in XVIII century (first published in 1741) by J.S.Bach. It is a work for harpsichord, but it is also played on piano. It consists of an aria and a set of 30 variations.

Hannibal Week

Another of my many favourite TV shows - Hannibal. The main characters are Hannibal Lecter - psychiatrist who is also a serial killer, and Will Graham - clever man who works for FBI and helps them to find murderers. They both are in strange and difficult relationship with each other. Hannibal tries to make a killer and best friend from Will but Will tries to defeat Hannibal and find some evidences of him. In their dark, dangerous game no one is safe and they closest people can get hurt or even killed.

 The show is based on book wrote by Thomas Harris, but I will write more about this tomorrow.

End of 30 Seconds to Mars Week

Today the last song of 30 Seconds to Mars. I hope you liked this week.

Enjoy the last song and have a nice day.

Marina

"Marina", book wrote by Spanish author Carlos Ruiz Zafón.

The story of a boy, named Óscar Drai, who  during one sunny day in Barcelona meets mysterious girl, Marina. They become friends and try to solve Barcelona's secret. They spy a woman in black who every single month visits unnamed grave. This way leads them to sad, mysterious and creepy story. And the end of this story is yet about to come...

The book is wrote very good, it's captivating. I'm not a big fan of love stories, I actually don't like them, but C.R.Zafón can "smuggle" love story in so good way that it really doesn't bother me. The story is mysterious, fascinating and sometimes sad. I enjoyed it a lot and I think, I would back to this book in the future.

"We all hide a secret in deepest corners of our soul. And this is my secret."

Up In The Air

I've been really busy last days, so sorry for little delay. I'll make up for it today.

The first song for a start is "Up In The Air".

From Yesterday

Today song from second album "A Beauitful Lie".

The song is called "From Yesterday" and the official video is fantastic. I really love they videos, they are really interesting and they always have a good story line.

In this music video they used 400 Chanise soldiers and 20 horses. It can be seen as a tribute to the film "The Last Emperor". Several of the scenes and characters are directly inspired by the film.

This is War

It's time for another song.

The second song which promoted third album "This is war".

The name of the song is the same as the album and it's amazing.

I really love fanvids with this song. I'm even doing one myself right now, so this song get stuck in my head. But that's ok, I like it ;)

Here's one of multifandom fanvids as example.

Something from the Nightside

"Something from the Nightside", a great book wrote by Simon R. Green,  is first book from Nightside series.

The book is about private investigator, John Tylor who, asked by very rich woman, has to find her missing daughter in differnet world hidden in London. 

The Nightside. Dark and dangerous place, full of traps, monsters, bad people and other things.

The book is full of humor, quick action, badasses, and villains. I read it very quickly, cause it was really interesting from the first sentence to the last one. The book has some cool pictures and the ending is surprising.
