Welcome
Welcome, finally, to my website. Here's info on me, my books and other writings, what I'm up to, and the inevitable deeply self-absorbed blog. Visit, graze, leave a comment, then go out into the sunshine and read.
Claridge's and the chiastic EP
Yesterday was our ninth anniversary (and second wedding anniversary), so we celebrated with a lovely posh dinner in the reading room at Claridge's. Teensy portions, but delicious. It inspires me to offer an iPod EP themed chiastically around girls and boys, without even defining the word "chiastically".
Boy by House of Love (could've picked Erasure's 'Boy', but that doesn't have the chant, "Boy, uh-huh, boy, uh-huh")
Boys and Girls by Bryan Ferry (even though his son's a tosser)
Boys Don't Cry by the Cure (of course)
Girls Don't Cry by Pet Shop Boys (perhaps not even a riposte, but a particularly good b-side)
Girls and Boys by Blur (could've used PSB's live version, but the original's a goody, too)
Girl by Tori Amos (could've used the Beatles, but why not Tori when she was a decent Kate Bush tribute act and before she crawled up her own harpsichord-laden behind)
6 songs, 22 minutes of good music. Figured out what it means yet?
