She&#8217;s had limited exposure here in Canada, though true anglophiles will know her as the singer of the theme song for the understated comedy Jam and Jerusalem, which comes highly recommended to fans of French and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I talk a lot about music hardware on this site, but the music that I write wouldn&#8217;t sound like much without software. Logic is my main audio production app, and I&#8217;ve been using it in various incarnations since about 1989, when it was called Notator SL, and was available exclusively on the Atari ST platform.

		<description><![CDATA[I have often said, of my day gig in advertising, &#8220;If this job is ever difficult, it&#8217;s because somebody screwed up.&#8221; You might think that&#8217;s pretty upbeat coming from me until you realize that only one screw-up has to be signed off on to make an entire campaign, or even a brand, difficult. And sometimes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Heist (2001) is a daunting subject for analysis, as is its writer and director David Mamet. It is an example of what I call &#8220;semantic screenwriting,&#8221; in that it demonstrates that you can put pretty much any nonsensical line into Gene Hackman&#8217;s mouth and tell him to spit it back out as if it is [...]]]></description>
