I am Caro(line) Moses. I run a company called UnLimited Media with my business partner Chris.
Amongst other things, we publish stuff like The CMU Daily , a daily e-newsletter for the music industry which I co-edit, and ThreeWeeks , the complete guide to the Edinburgh Festival, which I also co-edit. We launched ThreeWeeks at the Brighton Festival this year too.
Work. Books. Music. Film. The News. Writing. Isolated locations. Fantasising about saving the world.
people, animals. A glorious fate, perhaps.
I'll listen to almost anything, only fitting, considering my company's remit. In fairness I don't get on terribly well with anything fitting into a genre with the word 'death' or 'thrash' in its name, and my relationship with country music is possibly not all it might be. I am not a fan of Coldplay.
I’ll watch anything too, if I have the time. But here are some of my favourites: Whistle Down The Wind, Tokyo Story, The Frighteners, The Hudsucker Proxy, Rashomon, Dekalog, A Short Film About Love, Seven Samurai, Hobson’s Choice, Cyrano De Bergerac, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Romy And Michelle’s High School Reunion, Spider Man 2, The Legend Of Fong Sai Yuk, Bugsy Malone, Back To The Future, Twelve Monkeys, Time Cop (sensing a Time Travel theme?), Not One Less, LA Confidential, Shall We Dance (original Japanese version, not the J-Lo/Gere remake), Delicatessen, Brief Encounter, The Family Way, Shaolin Soccer, Nikita, The Winslow Boy, Ice Cold In Alex, Casino
Not much at present. News 24 and that's about it
I'll also read anything, and that has, from time to time, included MillsandBoon novels and books by Jilly Cooper. But in general I’d say I particularly enjoy the work of people like Noam Chomsky, Haruki Murakami, Ian Banks, George Monbiot, JG Farrell, Federico Garcia Lorca, Wallace Stevens, TS Eliot, Gore Vidal, George Eliot, Stephen Poliakoff, Emily Bronte, JB Priestley, Edward Thomas, Diana Wynne Jones, Philip Pullman, Alan Garner, Esme Cartmell, Terrence Rattigan, Thomas Hardy, John Steinbeck, Elizabeth Gaskell, Kazuo Ishiguro, Charlie Brooker, Banana Yoshimoto, Charles ‘Dickens’ Dickens, and William ‘Shakespeare’ Shakespeare. That seems a very short list, and slightly UK-centric. I’ll add more if and when I think of them.
