Senses working overtime 474

1 Autumn sunset at Maple Grove


The view from my music room.


2 Reading: The Lyrics - Paul McCartney




Closest thing we are likely to get to an autobiography, it says on the cover, and I actually believe it.


3 Watching: Unfrosted (on Netflix)




Jerry Seinfeld is a comic genius. He can do no wrong in my eyes. This is a beauty! Lovingly put together - the art direction, script, acting, cinematography are all class. It zips by too. Who doesn't love Jerry??


4 Reading: The Ultimate Music Guide to Paul McCartney




I picked this up a while ago from a weird novelty store in Wellington which had masses of old back copies of music magazines. Great companion to The Lyrics.


5 Listening: Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel




Talk about classy - Peter Gabriel oozes classiness. Great cover and Here Comes The Flood (especially) has been on heavy rotate.


Overtime: 

Something will happen. 

(Paul remembers one of The Beatles saying this after their van ran off the road and they wondered how they were going to get back up onto the road)

Senses working overtime #289

 Truth and lies


2 Truth and lies (continued)


The best rundown of Donald and Rudy's bat shit crazy, bizarro, smoke and mirrors, snake oil, world I've read.

3 Guiliani and Trump, a.k.a. The Moon Men





Anne Tyler



Clock Dance is my latest Anne Tyler novel. It's hard to pinpoint why she's so brilliant. The writing appears to be effortless!

Overtime: Peter Gabriel



After reading a Mojo feature, I've rediscovered his 4th solo album this week (a.k.a. Security). It's even more brilliant than I remember it being.
