The interlude/theme music you are touched by

Iran's history since 1940, explained by Marjane Satrapi - well, actually her father, back in 1978. When it took a turn for the worse.

2:03 kills me in laughter, every time. Little Marjane voice and her blunt opinion "Ah mais en fait, c'était un connard !"

... the translation is too nice. "Connard" is not idiot, but closer from "bastard" or "asshole."

"Okaaaay, so he actually was an asshole !"

And then the puppets break the fourth wall, outraged. "Roooh..."

Okay, so exactly 25 years ago there was on French TV a documentary about Georges Guynemer, the french WWI ace that had died exactly 80 years earlier.
That peculiar documentary "Guynemer ou l'esprit de la chasse".

" Guynemer ou l'esprit de la chasse""1997" - Google Search

www.google.com

The opening sequence was of Mirage 2000s taking off, in parallel with SPADs 80 years earlier. And there was a piano music I could never, ever forget. I had recorded the documentary on an old VHS and checked the credits to get the music - to no avail.

Fast forward to 2022. Tonight. https://www.breakflip-awe.com/pub/a...2-quelle-est-la-musique-de-la-publicite-10704

Heard that advert. Same music, asked the wife "wait, who is using that tune ?" turned out to be Mylan. And this led to the end of a 25 years search.

Hurrah ! And all hail Belgium, who created such beautiful tune.
 
This is the ultimate interlude music. I love it.

"Sailing By" was composed by Ronald Binge in 1963, and performed by the Alan Perry/William Gardner Orchestra, and is used by the BBC for its late night shipping forecast.

"Sailing By" is played every night on BBC Radio 4 at around 00:45hrs before the late Shipping Forecast. Its tune is repetitive, assisting in its role of serving as a signal for sailors tuning in to be able to easily identify the radio station. It also functions as a buffer — depending on when the final programme before closedown finishes, Sailing By (or part of it) is played as a 'filler' as the shipping forecast starts at 00:48hrs precisely. The initial reason for its introduction was because of the indeterminate finish time for the preceding Midnight News, leading to filling music being played until the Shipping Forecast was due to start. Sailing By was added to allow for a clear break between the end of the music and the start of the forecast

It also served as a tuning aid for crews of small fishing boats well out to sea.

Those days I'm in Paprika-mode. I discovered I have Netflix as part of my smartphone-Internet package, but while they all every singe Myazaki, they don't have Paprika, damn it.

And the OST. I knew about "the girl in Byakkoya" since 2006 but the other one, took me more than 15 years to realize it existed. Using a simple Internet tool called "Audio joiner" I linked the two into a 9 minute masterpiece of OST.

What’s that?

Its use as a tuning aid? Imagine yourself on a small fishing boat out on the North Sea being tossed around by the waves. You've got the radio on and are searching for 198KHz...and then you hear the very distinctive sound of 'Sailing By'. Once you know the tune you can even tell how much time you've got to grab pen and paper before you hear "There now follows the shipping forecast prepared at ten hundred hours by the Meteorological Office on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency."

I know what a tuning aid is. My question was: what is SRJ? What does it stand for?
