current reading - the comfort zone - jeremy sheldon
about half way through now. verdict so far - its good, most of the stories are enjoyable, only one or two not entirely doing it for me. for the most part good ideas, good humour, well fleshed out.
recent viewing - blue gate crossing; the hulk; black angel
blue gate crossing - showing as part of london lesbian/gay festival on tour, this is the best film i've seen in a while. at the core is a girl who is asked to approach a boy at her school for her best friend. confusion leads the boy to think it is her that like him, but she likes her friend.
the hulk - meandering, dreadfully paced, awful conclusion. generally ang lee disappoints with his adaptation of this classic character. the potential is there. but it just doesn't come through.
black angel - the second of two DVDs i picked up cheap by takashi iishi, gonin was quite disappointing, black angel goes some way to making up for that. the action is much more interesting, and while a little wary of the girl come back for revenge for the deaths of her yakuza family the american/japanese hybrid that is ikko works, especially the aspects of her still being quite girly and naive despite the coming violence!
recent listening: synapscape, this morn' omina, pow[d]er pussy, sense, voks.
synapscape - this remix ep seems disappointing on first listen, none of the harshness that really makes synapscape. we will see how it goes with further listens, but not promising so far.
this morn' omina - lot of material to take in with the two discs plus 3", seems like more of the same with the reasonably recent re-release of previous album. but decent enough.
pow[d]er pussy - 3" collab between TMO and Ah Cama-Sotz. first listen, up beat and promising enough.
sense - new release on u-cover, laid back electronica from australian artist.
voks- 3" release on dekorder, danish quirky pop, i really really like this release, listening to it quite a bit!
