ThreadJack.
Where’s the music thread when you need one? Radiohead slipped out their latest release overnight The King of Limbs. I’m sure there will be many ‘mehs’ going round, but I’m such a TY geek, he could fart on record and I’d buy it. Which is just as well. As always I suspect that after the 100th listen, and if possible while travelling on trains in Tokyo while listening to it on headphones, it will sink in.
So far it sounds like stuff that didn’t fit on Thom Yorke’s The Eraser, but I do like this video and the song that goes with it.

Muse: Shelf Life: The Dying Elephant in…, in reply to Jane Pearson,
I asked a shop attendant to check their catalogue to see if the book was available and was told there was one copy for sale in the store.
This happened to me in Whitcoulls St Lukes with Karen Healey’s Guardian of The Dead. It was apparently ‘there’, just that ‘there’ happened to be in a parallel universe that was not in NZ fiction, YA fiction, Fantasy, Gardening, Teen Fiction, Vampire Fiction (I swear there was a whole section) or the Magazine section. In the end I gave up and bought it elsewhere.

This thread has now officially driven me to the bottle. Beer o'clock.

Has anyone copyrighted a definition of the word feminist?
Where do we go from here?

Really? I always thought he was an Author, not a doctor. Turns out he is both.

His Italian diction is even worse than Lesley Gore's, which is saying something.
How would we know?
YouTube should introduce a 'Dicky Diction' button.

My two regulars, since I moved away from Unity Books for work, are Time Out and Baci in the Rialto building. I don’t think book shops are by any means dead, I just think that sustaining the levels of stock and large scale real-estate the mega-stores have/had is no longer commercially viable. Time Out is so good at getting books for you, not sure I can be bothered ordering to many myself off the Interwebz. Unless it’s a ‘hard to find’ one, which has been out of print for decades, and I don’t have time to rifle through the shelves of the actual Hard to Find’.
Ahem. ‘enourage’. Near the end. Sorry.

For Gio. Italian Version.
Okay? Not scary joy, appropriate joy, mind.
It's all good. Just felt a little lightness wouldn't go astray. My self-deprecating humour needs to find the balance between humour and actual deprecation.
