What Are You Listening to [regular edition]

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

Daffodils will be coming up soon.

Daft Punk - Derezzed

You can probably see the green shoots now.

I've finished the Obama book. I just skimmed through it. He may have written a few pages at the end (epilogue) and the Preface/Introduction (at a push) but the other 440 pages are pure fiction written by person or persons unknown. No amateur could write that amount of speech. I doubt he could even remember 99% of those conversations even if he had them. He can remember them all word for word? Highly unlikely if not impossible. I suppose he could have taken a tape recorder around with him all his life. It's just all made up.

30 Seconds To Mars - Kings And Queens

I'm almost tempted to read it now

York tomorrow for meetings and lunch. Alan has just completed 25 years in confectionery.
I want in.

Sparks - The Lady Is Lingering

Christopher Hitchens might not be left with the reputation he would like.

White Lies - Bigger Than Us

I might draw myself as one of Roy Lichtenstein's women. I drew this yesterday and it turned out good. I could caption myself.

Leadbelly - In The Pines

I knew I'd heard it somewhere before ...
