May is coming to an end, I have no gigs to report back on. I have however managed to get some reading done, Alain De Botton's Essays in Love and the 2008 Booker winner The White Tiger. The book on love wasn't too bad given the topic..lol, mostly observational musings we will all recognise from our own lives or from the problem pages of many a magazine. Anyone who can quote a Sociologist in their book can't be bad. As for white tiger, a sound read that pales in comparision to previous Booker nominees and winners. I expected much more from a booker winner. I have a Tracy Chapman gig coming up in late June and a Sarah Waters reading next week for her latest offering Little Strangers'. Also looking forward to the NT version of Hanif Kureshi's Black Album in July. Have finally managed to get tickets to see Tori Amos (Sept). Tanita Tikaram has annouced that she will be performing live this autumn, can't wait. Oh and I turned 35!!!.
Reading: Mother Millet, keep starting it
Listening: Catie Curtis, Tanita Tikaram and some old Ani Difranco.
Films: Quantum of Solace, The Changeling, The day the earth stood still and the Secret life of bees.
