New Scientist 2015

Amazon Review by For Tomorrow
Another great compilation from Rhino, this two-disc set contains some of the best acoustic music from some of the biggest artists out there, plenty of my favourites are represented with a track, but there were also a handful that were still new to me. That's the joy of compilations for me, you are able to discover a lot of talent through buying them.
It's a nice mix of old and new, with alternative versions used when needed, for example the acoustic versions of Bruno Mars' 'Grenade', James Blunt's '1973', 'Smile' by Lily Allen, the iTunes session of Lykke Li's 'I Follow Rivers', and a great live & acoustic performance from Scotland's finest young crooner Paolo Nutini on 'Last Request'.
This is a very appealing playlist of acoustic music. The only downside was that when I went to burn the CDs onto my laptop, the song titles and artist names couldn't be found, so I had to write them in myself. Well, copy and paste from this Amazon page, but still tedious and time consuming all the same.

Since he was a teenager, Dara O Briain has been fascinated with Professor Stephen Hawking, the world's most celebrated scientist. In this special film, Dara spends time with his boyhood hero as he attends the world premiere of The Theory of Everything, the movie made about his life, and then at Professor Hawking's home and place of work in Cambridge. In 1963, Stephen was diagnosed with ALS, a form of motor neurone disease, and given two years to live. Over 50 years later, he is still working on new scientific theories and has become an unlikely pop culture icon.
