A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

A sentimental indulgence
Time Bandits is probably my lifetime favorite movie. I mean this literally. Layered as hell, the film dazzles at all the crucial stages - childhood, pretentious undergrad days, mature/damaged adulthood, decline and dotage (I'll assume). With all that imprinting, how can I not have a soft spot for George's theme song, which isn't all that great, but, like the 25-some-old blanket I refuse to throw away, commands my complete loyalty. I can't think of anything else that could soundtrack the plundering of history's treasures with a gang of renegade midgets.
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
