just a quiet kinda day today, working hard & enjoying the Spring temperatures in Calgary - followed by episodes 8,9 & 10 of Deadwood season 1
i did pick up a beautiful book today, Mangoes & Curry Leaves it's a lavishly illustrated travelogue & cook-book detailing a couple's trips round India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan & Bengal - beautiful pictures & fantastic recipes
now i'm not one to boast but i can cook, i love food - it's my job after all - and i love trying new things out, there's not much i can't make & i'm a sucker for recipe books, each to their own i guess
i also picked up a photo/coffee table book of an altogether different nature - CBGB and OMFUG : Thirty Years from the Home of Underground Rock- about 7 years ago i achieved a long held desire of mine to visit CBGB's in New York, it was every bit the scuzzy, seedy hole i thought it would be & I cannot for the life of me remember who we saw there, they can't have been that good - this book captures in cool B&W photos the essence & evoloution of this club from the days of the mighty Ramones, via Television, Talking Heads, er Bush (why them cocksuckers? - sorry too much Deadwood there!)) to the modern day likes of The Strokes
going back even further, i have posted up two gems from The Freakbeat Scene
an album released last summer and as you know I am always partial to a bit of sixties fuzzed out rock'n'roll. even my poor little daughter will upon the command to "wig out!", (& accompanied by a stomper from some long forgotten garage band), perform the coolest ever little baby dance.
she loves these tracks, i hope you do too.......
the blue stars - I can take it
shel naylor - one fine day
