A little "The Tiger Who Came to Tea" musical tribute to the incomparable @DavidGArnold - here's to many more years of music-making (and a day filled with delicious cakes). Happy birthday sir!

The end-of-cycle jingle on the LG washing machine was begging for a march arrangement. Thanks to @LGUS for the melody and @StaffPad for the amazing music app.

@DavidGArnold - I was re-living some favorite Olympic music and rediscovered the closing of the 2012 Paralympic Games: https://t.co/q4QFiwXcZI - this was an amazing set of scoring from you…did this ceremony ever get an album release like the others from the 2012 games?

New headphones and the complete manuscript for @DavidGArnold ‘s Independence Day? Merry Christmas to me! 🎶 Hold all my calls… 😁

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold @RoyalAlbertHall 😮Sounds like a “David Arnold Christmas” EP with this and your Silent Night arrangement is in order!

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold This is so good! Please tell me it’s your own sampled voice making the weird cat “meow” sounds in “Down the Chimney” 😁 Or is that a really creatively manipulated electric guitar?

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@Sean_McDowell Praying for you Sean - and so thankful for your ministry! Just be sure to keep a Spider-Man hidden somewhere in the new background, okay?

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@RevKevDeYoung I can see value (and negatives) in both approaches, and pastors must weigh their own context. Certainly these types of conversations were what Romans 14 was meant to guide?

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold Nice! “Crash Cymbal Improvisationalist” is definitely something I’d love on my business card. 😁

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold Glow sticks were a huge fad in first century Bethlehem. No plastic or chemicals, so they just trapped 100 fireflies in a washed goat intestine. The real question is when are we going to hear your beautiful arrangement of this tune in recorded form?

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold - of all your musical accomplishments, certainly this must be among your proudest. 😂

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@KnowingFaithPod @kyleworley Hot take: the internet is a new tower of Babel where humans are gather on a large scale in a godless context to ruinous consequences. Plot twist: the internet's "hottest" feature is seamless auto-translation of any language. What do we learn from the OG Babel to guide us today?

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold I sincerely hope the Atlantic Ocean has protected you from the horrific business nicknames we have in the U.S. like *shudder* "Mickey D's"

@NicoleSGrigg Can you please ask @AZDHS why Percent Positivity is being used as a school reopening metric when there's never been a coherent testing strategy in AZ to produce consistent data? Vital in-person learning is being held hostage by this arbitrary metric.

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold Clearly the costume department hadn't made it to you yet. Hope you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Yuma - America's favorite toilet stop between Phoenix and San Diego!

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold This is amazing! The jazzy charm is absolutely perfect. I can't get over the instrumentation - every choice is spot on. The song is fantastic as well - Robbie Williams is the perfect fit. It's the perfect musical Christmas gift - thank you!

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@filmmusicrep @DavidGArnold @robbiewilliams @HarperCollins @LupusFilms This is great news! Now my Christmas wish would be that David's @RoyalAlbertHall Christmas arrangement of Silent Night would be included as a hidden bonus track. #AllIWantForChristmas

[Brendan Anderson @brendananderson]

@DavidGArnold @RoyalAlbertHall Incredible sound (especially the major-key rendition of the Godzilla celeste motif at the end 😁) Did you ever get a recording of it (enthusiastic baby at the end included)?
