I watched Corpse Bride last night, and they had a wonderful section of big band music in the background, in the style of Sing sing sing!, which is (I think) a Benny Goodman number. It's that chaotic sort of piece one might associate with a descent into Hell, and one that my old big band used to do. The film itself was great fun, full of famous voices and weird and wonderful animations. I was delighted to see it was done in stop-motion - I'll find out more today perhaps.
Tonight I may or may not be going to join a choir in Balham. It seems a bit daft, for two reasons. Firstly I'm off to Australia soon, and secondly I'm not in the best voice (I'm still coughing and spluttering from the continuous series of coughs I've had since September). Still, I'm much clearer than I was yesterday, so perhaps it will all go well. And if I like it, they've got choirs in Australia.
