Signify

Teenage Fanclub are touring later this year. Gigs/ticket info here.

In Kirkcaldy of all places...home of the esteemed Adam Smith...


 ...I finally saw the leg end John Cooper Clarke live. He didn't disappoint. 

Poet-less stage

And the opening set by Mike Garry was brilliant. His poem "Signify" is *beautiful*. What a treat to hear Mike read it aloud.

I was glad to stumble across the philosophy of Michael Caine:

Farewell, Chip Taylor. Here's a favourite:


Nice example of diegetic and non-diegetic music, from a film I like a lot...


I sold some art:

Hola

Welcome!

No ifs, no buts - I loved this:

Made me want to re-read the book.

Just read Rushdie's "Knife". Recommended.

Now giving this a go (Hispanophile that I am):

TV: I sure liked Small Prophets. Meanwhile Dirty Business was important and depressing.

I have stumbled across the art of Mary Fedden. I like it.

A Play, A Pie & A Pint - The Legend Of Davie McKenzie was fab. 

Also enjoyed   glad I put myself through Scottish Opera's production of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde.

Current Cheese - Comté.

Apropos of nothing:

I sold some pictures.

Talking of which, here comes some art...
