Doo Wop (That Thing) Ms. Lauren Hill
Such a refreshing throw-back amidst the less encouraging message of a lot of today’s hip hop hate. She’s a force and sound philosopher. This track is where my needle idles.
The Fallguy (Amazon Prime)
This is an escape piece, pure and simple. I love Emily Blunt (and very much hope she leaves that lovely face of hers alone) and the same, same for Ryan Gosling. It’s a silly romp with one objective; enjoy it as such.
A Month in the Country, J L Carr.
This is such a beautifully written book. The premise is a WW1 survivor travelling to the sanctuary of a Yorkshire village, to uncover a painting discovered on a church wall. Set in 1920, “A Month in the Country” illustrates, through the interactions and personalities, how human nature really doesn’t change. SO well observed. So well articulated. This is one of the greats for me.
