Oh I meant to do so much here – with lists and links and music and books and stuff – but in the end a miserable cold just had me staring blankly and uninspired. We’ve all had a cold since christmas so our house has been a cacophony of coughs, sneezes and moans.
records (in no particular order)
- Espers – Espers
Hazel bought this for herself – I stole it and listened to it a lot - Strange Geometry – The Clientele
and still they can do no wrong - Picaresque – The Decemberists
Fantastic more-of-the-same album – their indie label swansong - The Earth is Blue – Damon and Naomi
The very best D&N album got released in 2005 - EP – Audrey
Oh this was such a beautiful surprise possibly the best new thing to happen to me last year
books
- Carter Beats The Devil – Glen David Gold
- Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay – Michael Chabon
I know they’re both quite old but they were the best books I read last year
Ugh that’ll do – I’m off to sneeze again – have a great 2006
