April 2003 :: Stuff

Been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash Lately, you should check any of his work out. Seriously an amazing muso. He has hundred's of songs and their all infectious as the next.

playlist:

The Coral [can't remember the name of the album].
No Doubt :: Rocksteady
Johnny Cash :: Live @ San Quentin & Ragged Old Flag
Down II :: Bustle in your...
Ugly Kid Joe :: Tommorrow's World
Life of Agony :: Ugly
Gypsy Kings :: Hotel California [great cover version, very different to the original].
Corosion of Conformity :: Stare Too Long and Redemption City....Pepper Keenan is a great poet.

films:

Big Lebowski
Sexy Beast [suprisingly intense thriller about an ex-gangsta from London who retires in Spain, check it out...British too].

impressed with:

Check out this mp3 file, it's so damn funny. Jack Nicholson film lines cut up and interpreted onto a prank phone call: http://media.ebaumsworld.com/index.php?e=jacknich.mp3

Saw Tenacious D @ the Manchester Apollo. What an amazingly unique show that was, if these guys play your town, do yourself a favour and go watch em.....Really is different to your average rock show.

Went to London in March, got to see the national gallery...they have an awesome collection of impressionist / post impressionist works...I saw my most favourite Vincent Van Gogh; 'wheatfields with cypresses'. As usual everything I see of Vincent makes me misty eyed...

Modern Tate Gallery was pretty good too, they have some real bullshit in there but they have some stuff too like Monet's 'waterlillies'.

Trafalgar Sq was probably my most favourite place in London, forgotton how amazing it really is. Also it really isn't as expensive as everyone makes out [or is it that we're being screwed in the north?].

Got to meet some great folks. It was a total ball [my friends make it that way]....
  Van Gogh's 'Wheatfield with Cypress's'...This is the level I want to eventually get to.  
             
Disovered a great Oldham band called 'red on black'. If you live in Oldham you should check em out. They're like latin sounding band with a guitar rock influence cross-over. I'm hoping to track down their album or something...
  The girl I'm pointing at reminds me of a female Eddie Vedder. She has great stage presence....  
       

poetry & words:

I've not read much poetry, nor do I read novel's [i read into a lyrics a lot], however this pretty spectacular Ohio-born girl called Heather read these to me >
