Music! Nothing more, nothing less! And pens and pencils! And snowy places that are sunny!
At the moment there is nothing finer to my ears than the sounds of Atlantic soul, some country rock 'n' roll and any girl group from the sixties you care to think of. Special mentions must go to Gram, Otis, Steve Cropper, Rufus Thomas, The Velvelettes and King Curtis. Oh and Marlena Shaw and Aretha and Booker T. Oh and Johnny Cash and Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham and James Burton. Not forgetting Sneaky Pete, John Fogerty, Elvis Presley and The Shirelles. Oh, also to neglect Bill Monroe woild be a crime on the scale of forgetting Hank Williams ..... etc etc. OOPS! Bo Diddley, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson and Levon Helm but with the absolute and utter exception of Robbie Robertson.Come to my club every Sunday night at The Dublin Castle in Camden Town 'til 2 am with loads of music and I haven't had a cigarette for 2 months or so!Oh and also the bands I manage http://www.myspace.com/thephoenixdrivemusic http://www.myspace.com/thebellagios http://www.myspace.com/samsallon
Evil Deads, Lords Of Rings and my new favourite Bad Santa for being the funniest film I have ever seen while still managing to be offensive on many, many levels.
Not my cup of tea really. Let someone else watch it and then bore me aboot it!
James Elroy, Jaroslav Hasek, Herge and Spike Milligan.
