Head Food

I thought I'd scribble down some movies and books i've had the pleasure consuming of late. I'm currently reading Sophie Scholl & The White Rose, a book I picked up in Boston last August. It concerns itself with the Nazi (albeit tiny) resistence. Let you know how it goes. Recently finished The Unbearable Lightness of Being, but this deserves its very own blog. Enjoying Martin Amis' essay The Age of Horrorism.

About to get stuck into Saul Bellow's The Adventures of Augie March. Will keep you posted.

I'm still reading my protools manual, and believe I will be for some time to come. I don't recommend this one (not as a good read anyway).





As far as movies go, I've watched a few interesting ones recently.
Lemming
Dead Man's Shoes (for the umpteenth time)
Let it be (on Youtube)
Borat (How could you not?)
Man without a Past (again)
Oldboy (again)
Bittersweet Life
Hidden (Cache)
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
Hard Candy At your own risk! Hard to watch.


Other stuff:
Chomsky vs. Dershowitz Debate
The Galloway vs. Hitchens debate

Loving per usual Bill Maher on HBO (Youtube), Brian Ross investigates on ABC. Watch the pair of them get the "bad guys'!

Music wise, been listening to a bit of Lambchop, Kila, Paris Combo and daily helpings of jazz. Which reminds me of one of the only gigs I've been to recently. Dave Lyttle& Louis Stewart in The Bleu Note club in Dublin a couple of weeks back. It was great to see Dave accompany this Irish jazz legend. Dave's playing his own gig this Sunday in Bewley's cafe Theatre Dublin.

Also listening to a Van Halen's greatest hits. Still prefer Diamond Dave!

I'm away here to iron the curtains.
Chat soon.
