Far from a storybook existence

I don't mean to echo the banalities of your own life.

My favorite diaries:

My favorite music:

Beth Gibbons

comments:  Liz Fraser, Natalie Merchant, Louise Rhodes, Hope Sandoval, Tracey Thorn. Effortless vocals.

Ryuichi Sakamoto

comments:  Michael Nyman, Mike Galasso, David Holmes, Carter Burwell. Because soundtracks accessorise life's moments.

Aluminium Group

comments:  Ben and Jason, Beaumont, Belle and Sebastian, Kings of Convenience (thanks Andrew!). Sunday driving.

Red House Painters

comments:  Mercury Rev, Joni Mitchell, Bjork, Beth Hirsh, Nina Perrson, Brett Anderson. Words. It's all in the words.

Billie Holiday

comments:  Ella, Miles, Jobim, Gilberto, Julie London. Immensely satisfying. Always.

My favorite movies:

Being John Malkovich

comments:  John Cusack. Puppet master.

In the Mood for Love

comments:  Poignant tale.

Amelie

comments:  Perfect. Hope for humanity, love and all that romantic fable.

A Clockwork Orange

comments:  Ingenuity.

Breaking the Waves

comments:  Drowning. In emotion, bleakness, loyalty.

My favorite authors:

Jeanette Winterson

comments:  Words twirled and swirled.

Anthony Burgess

comments:  Self-absorbed and ostentatious.

Will Self

comments:  The density is almost tedious, but perversely fascinating.
