I know you non-commercial peeps will guffaw but I was
listening to Hybrid's 'Wide Angle' this morning on the way
to work. If you like breakbeats and cinematic strings check
it out

I loved the film Bjork was in whose name escapes me. The
music was great.

P J Harvey's 'Stories From the City...' is amazing

Oh yeah. I saw a Spanish film recently set during the Civil
War about a boy's home and a ghost. It was great but I can't
remember what its called. Any ideas?

Books?...I could go on all day...

But...off the top of my head...

Douglas Coupland - all his work, especially "Life After
God"...
Norman Mailer - A god amongst writers...
Martin Amis...
Dave Eggers ...
Chuck Paulaniuk - Fight Club (but the rest of his 4 novels
are to my mind a lot better...)...
David Foster Wallace....

Out of Control - By Kevin Kelly will blow the minds of all
you science heads...The new Biology of Machines...

My bookshelves are overflowing and amazes a lot of my mates
when they see my personal library - seems to surprise people
when they find out scum like me is well-read...

If you wanna check out a few of these texts and a lot of
other great writers, get thyself to www.textz.org ... lots
of free etexts, including many of the greatest works of the
last century... very underground site...due to copyright I
guess....

Also, the writings of the Situationist Internationale... if
you like ART/POLITICS ...

Guy Debord (RIP mon ami)... is the forgotten hero of our
times...

Lost Highway lost me. I prefer his straighter films like the
Elephant Man and Straight Story.

Compilation: Rive Eskimo series

Album: Pilote 'Doitnow...'

Film: Twentyfourseven & A Room for Romeo Brass

Book: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
