Audio Cousins: 'The Social Network' & 'In Treatment'

The last Netflix disc I returned was the Gabriel Byrne-as-therapist HBO series, "In Treatment." So the theme was fresh in my ears last night when I heard the Oscar-wining theme for "The Social Network." I know this sounds ridiculously paradoxical, but except for the notes, the two are exactly the same.

Based on superficial Googling, I have not found any over lap for "In Treatment’s" composer, Israeli musician, Avi Belleli, and "The Social Network’s" composers, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Belleli’s music for In Treatment was actually written for Hagai Levi's Israeli series, Bitipul, on which "In Treatment" is based.

Listen to the first 40 seconds of each …



I know, I need to get a life.

Red Carpet Green Dress at the Oscars

James Cameron may not have taken home the big award at the Oscars this year but the women of his life certainly shined as ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow, took Best Director and Best Picture for Hurt Locker. I know, Old News..

What you may not have known was his wife Suzy, model, actress, environmental champion, educational activist and mother of five children also shined in her "green" dress.   It was the winner of her "Red Carpet, Green Dress" competition. 

"Caring for the Planet is always in fashion" 

 The competition provided opportunity to aspiring designers to MUSE's, globally green philosophy by applying environmental awareness into everyday lives. Designs were submitted by amateur designers to create a black tie dress made of natural/ organic or sustainable materials while encouraging these future designers to estimate their carbon footprints when creating their clothing lines. 

Winner was Jillian Granz, a senior with majors in apparel and textile design at Michigan State University

MUSE Elementary and MUSE Global emphasize respecting each child, the self, others, and the environment.

Suzy Amis Cameron's hope is that the Red Carpet Green Dress will use the international language of fashion to begin a dialog of healing for humankind and the planet.
