She and Him - "Volume One"

Zooey Deschanel and someone else.

Not bad, yet nothing special. No spark. Bit 60-ish at times. It goes on and on without irritating you, yet without grasping you at the throat.

Or the balls.

J. Slauerhoff - "In Mijn Leven..."

In mijn leven, steeds uiteengerukt
Door de vlagen waar 'k aan blootsta,
Daar 'k niet kan hectehn aan liefde en geluk
Die mij zullen drijven tot ik doodga,
Ontstaan soms plotsling enkle plekken
Van een stilte zoo onaangedaan,
Dat ik geloof in slaap te zijn gekomen
Bij de diepten waar geen onderstroomen
Meer door 't eeuwig stilstaand water gaan.

The Osmonds - "Crazy Horses"

Crazy Horses (waaaaah! waaaaaaah!)
Crazy Horses (waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!)

Wonderful! Seen at "Wintertijd" with Def. P

Paul Auster - "The book of illusions"

A wonderful book, but I will not be able to say many useful things about it.

I have been reading it on and off, and almost only when I wanted to relax.

In any case, I am not very good at dissecting the story, characters, motives, structures, &etc.

It is about loss. Chance and loss. About finding a new goal, a new purpose again, about more chance, another love, and more loss.

About films that nobody has seen and books no-one can ever read.

A good book to reread in a couple of years.

Theo van Gogh in gesprek met Maarten van Rossum

"en nu je toch het woord 'druilerig' in de mond neemt, ik ben van mening dat het Nederlandse klimaat het mooiste klimaat ter wereld is. Wist je dat het maar 6% van de tijd regent?"

"Ondanks dat er nog geen wetenschappelijke verklaring voor is, zit er één paragraaf in een sigaret."

Grinderman - "Lazarus Dig Yourself"

More than once, iPod shuffle creates a horrible mix. Besides that, it seems incredibly non-random in its randomness (yes, I am aware of the fact that 1.2.3.4.5.6... can be randomly generated)

But today was a Good Shuffle Day.
And "Lazarus Dig Yourself" came by, and all was well.

But Larry grew increasing neurotic and obscene
I mean, he, he never asked to be raised up from the tomb
I mean, no one ever actually asked him to forsake his dreams
