Erin Morgenstern - "The Night Circus"

A style like "Mechanique", hints of Daniel Mason. Presetn time writing, where often in a paragraph time flows fast and people are described by their actions, or actions put upon them. The end of chapters or half chapters are often one or two-liners, not exactly twisting the story line, but emphasizing an unexpected element, negating something one might have assumed.

Now finished... I liked it a lot. There's some comments on story, but hardly anything that matters. Cool book. Go read.

Room 237

"I like you, Lloyd. I always liked you. You were always the best of them. Best goddamned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter."

Amazing documentary about people seeing the craziest of things in "The Shining." From the native American Indians to WW II, to subliminal sensual imagery.

"The elevator is spewing forth the blood of indians"

I'm not quoting correctly, but still. Amazing watch. Don't forget your tin foil hat.

Laura Marling - "What He Wrote" (I Speak Because I can)

Singersongwriter. Soft, close harmony.

Dark Dark Dark - "Who Needs Who" (Who Needs Who)

Found through pandora's Woodkid station, though I do not remember which song.

Intriguing music. Pop. Jazzy. Saxophone-ish.

Graeme Revell - "Aeon Flux OST"

Him of the rejected Troy score.... This OST is a good mix of fast beats and slow string instruments. An eerie edge to it, as an insane violist.
