I noticed that the title for the next episode of Kyle XY is... The First Cut Is The Deepest.

[thewind]

it yielded no old music or updated music of the same... bummer...

Yusuf's ''don't be shy'' is featured in another film this year, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (the previous being Michael Moore's Sicko). Here's an excerpt from an interview with the cast.

"Bateman: To be truthful, I was a real doubter on that scene from the very, very start. I thought this was a great scene on paper, but I'm one of those annoying guys that ... if something needs to be written down, then I need to spend as much time as it would take to really write it down and then hold it up. I said to Zach, "This scene is going to play at about five minutes if we all write all these things down." Then we worked it all out where in one of them I didn't write it down and just sort of mouthed my answer. That saved a little bit of time. Of course, the cross-cutting, editorially you can truncate a lot of that stuff. And then, let's face it, Cat Stevens is the third character in that scene, and we didn't have that on the shooting day. While we were shooting it I literally said, "We are wasting a half a day on a scene that is never going to be in the movie." I think I kept calling it the "DVD extra morning."

Here's a new You Tube Video of "Don't Be Shy" by Cat Stevens. It shows posters for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and Sicko. (None for Martian Child.)

I watched the movie... Martian Child... It had part of the song... "If you want to sing out, sing out"

I thought it was "Dont Be Shy"... the scene where the little boy is getting out of the car and going into the school...

[thewind]

Those are both my favorite songs... sometimes I qoute one and mean the other...

[mjwestha]

Here in Canada, 20th Century Masters is running a commercial promoting their Cat Stevens' best of CD. I saw it on the women's network (obviously surfing through haha) and it's being sold at walmart.

[Chris]

They played "The Wind" tonight on 'Brothers and Sisters' during the last scene of the show.

[flemmishfangent]

I 'm happy that more and more i hear Cat-Yusuf on the Belgian radio ,before i never heard him and i found ones a blog about that essue because of a radiopresentator has turn a song of another cup.hope the tide is turning now.Regii

[downunder72]

Yes Regii, I too feel the tide is turning now. Better late than never.

[thewind]

I watched the last half of Mr. Magorium s Wonder Emporium and heard... "Don't be shy"

[Chris]

I just finished watching 'Life on Mars". This weeks segments name was "Tuesdays Dead' , and yep you guessed it, they played Cat Stevens "Tuesdays Dead' toward the end of the show tonight. ;D

[s271]

I was watching 'Remember the Titans' the other day and was so pleased to hear 'Peace Train' towards the end of the movie. You probably all know this already but I didn't and it was a lovely surprise:) and it fits the movie perfectly. There was also this list in Borders called 'Top 50 albums of all time as voted by you' and Tea for the Tillerman was number 30... I was really excited and it was extra exciting because it showed that Australians still remember Cat Stevens Yay!!!

[downunder72]

Today my daughter and I were watching a series called 'Pushing Daisies' on T.V, and just as it was nearly ending, a lady from the series started singing ' Morning Has Broken'. Even though nobody sings it like he does, and make you float into heaven, it was a nice surprise.
CS music in T.V series is becoming quite a common thing lately from reading other posts. Another occasion when I heard a CS song was, on the series 'Nip and Tuck'. I think it was 'Wild World'. It just goes to show how people today can still relate to his music. This should make YI very pleased with himself. He has definitely made his mark in time.

[s271]

I heard 'Wild World' in Kmart(Australia) recently but it wasn't Cat singing... it was still nice though...

[jonathanjzero]

Pushing Daisies hasn't come to Australian shores, but I'm happy to say I've been able to follow the series - it's such a warm-hearted nice show!!! I haven't heard Morning Has Broken yet - I'll be listening out for it now - it's very fitting for the feel of the show tho!

[sunspark*]

Here are links to the songs, downunder - man that is one WILD scene from Nip/Tuck!! great! That show is crazy!!

and from the comments on 'Pushing Daisies', looks like they've canceled the show?

Morning Has Broken

Wild World

[downunder72]

Thanks for the links Sunspark*. Now Jon doesn't have to wait to see it. How did you find them? Is it that easy?

Margi, you did a good job putting up the link. That truly was a little gem.

Yes - no matter who sings it, it's Cat's song, and it's still nice to hear.

Yesterday my daughter phoned me from Geneva and said, " mum you wont believe it!!!!, we a having coffee in this cafeteria, and they are playing Cat Stevens!!!! ". I forgot to ask her what song. I'll ask her when she gets back. It shows what good taste in music the Swiss have. ;D It doesn't surprise me, I think a new wave is just begining. I think we will be hearing alot of CS/ YI in the new year that is coming.
If Sue was still on the board, I'm sure she would be able to give us a prediction on CS/YI for the new year........Miss you Sue!!!.

[HardheadedSofthrtd]

Was having dinner at an Italian place with Anys the other night and "Peace Train" popped into the mix. Nice.

Last night on TV, 'Telemarketing', was advertising a CD box set called 'Flower Power'. It was a collection of all those wonderful songs of the late sixties and early seventies. Of course CS was on the list. They had 2 very short film clips from the 'Moon and Star' concert, the one were he is wearing that navy blue shirt with the double breasted white buttons. The songs were, 'Wild World' and 'Morning has Broken'. Oh!, those were the days.

[JaneB]

Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the Moon & Star concert will have an official release - soon!

Yes, Vicki, those certainly were the days, weren't they?
