These blog posts have become less frequent of late, but never mind, that's just the way it is at the moment. Am fully engrossed in finishing Number Three, and beginning to chew through ideas for Number Four and more.
So, briefly, am listening to Lanie Lane at moment and saving up my pennies to buy her album: To The Horses. A tremendous, bluesy singer. Here she is performing The Black Keys' Gold on the Ceiling on Triple J for Like a Version.
Watched Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books the other night, hard on the heels of recently revisiting The Tempest. I've seen mediocre and tremendous performances of this play, with the best two featuring Derek Jacobi (The Barbican, London, early in the 1980s) and John Bell (Sydney Opera House, a few years back) both in the role of Prospero, but I now have to add Peter Greenaway's film and John Gielgud's performance to these. Not only that, but it shot straight into my list of All-Time Favourite Films. Magical. Quite stunning. Made in 1991, I don't know why I haven't got round to watching it until now. Peter Greenaway is really a painter in live images; a sculptor of sound, colour, lighting, music, dance...
