What are you listening to right now?

Golden age always sounded like 'water colours' to me, whereas Flat Earth was bold primaries. I have something of a soft spot for that sort of production - used to love Trevor Horn's stuff.

I love the band's name "We Were Promised Jetpacks." The Song of the Day is my new favorite thing.

Columbine
By Dave Cullen

Over the course of this gripping narrative, Dave Cullen approaches his subjects with unrivaled care and insight. What emerges are shattering portraits of the killers, the victims, and the community that suffered one of the greatest - and most socially and historically important - shooting tragedies of the 20th century.

Ten years in the works, Columbine is a masterpiece of reportage, from the acclaimed journalist who followed the massacre from day one and reconstructed the psychological journey of two teenage boys who became killers.

A beautiful morning and "IT's wonderful".... (Paolo Conte)

i said do you speak my language
he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

long live the kinks
