During December I have been listening to:
Nighthawks at the Diner by Tom Waits (a regular these days)
Dolores by Bohren & Der Club of Gore
A Summer Beneath the Trees by Library Tapes
Weather Report by Chris Watson
The Malady of Elegance by Goldmund
Day & Age by The Killers (not sure about this one)
Natural Mystic by Bob Marley
Calcutta Slide Guitar by Debashish Bhattachaya
The Sinking of the Titanic by Gavin Bryars
Decembers reading list…
Arcadia by Jim Crace (re-read)
Liver By Will Self
How the Dead Live by Will Self
Flaubert’s Parrot by Julian Barnes
along with
Against the Wall: The Leadmill Years Posters by Martin Bedford 1980-1992
It’s the time for a review of the year. It came. It went. Lots of stuff happened in between. I’m not going much further than that. Many others do it far better. Check out Johnson banks thought for the day and you’ll see what I mean. Look out for a mention of an ex-kl student Jake Pover. Rock’n’roll!
I’ve got some ideas for future entries, regular themes and discussion possibilities, all of which will start to appear during January and February 09. The new website should be up and running by then, complete with a batch of freebies (oooh!) and a shop where my lovely handmade sketchbooks (more of which in another thread later…) will be available for purchase, for yourself or someone you love.
Meanwhile, review your own year, and check out http://www.futureme.org/ – send yourself an email into the future. List out your hopes and ambitions for the year and send it to yourself on 26th December 2009. I’ll start a thread and we can compare how we hoped to fare for the year…
Sleep tight; don’t let the credit crunch bite!
Wow! As easy as that, eh? Great stuff. Ah, well. Hello there. The name’s Christopher. I’m a graphic designer, educator, ephemera loving, experimental music listening, book-making, vector freak. Lots of contrasts. I’m a gemini and although I don’t go in for that stuff, I seem to fit all the stereotypes. Hmm.
I hope to share some ideas, thoughts and creations through this blog. I’ve tried before unsuccessfully. I’ll try again here.
