Tinted Distances

So we hit the beach
And on the beach we're hit
Along a line of crimson
Alone on a beach with Jesus...


Incoming- keep your head down:

The Hold Steady- ABC- 1st October
Sigur Ros- Carling Academy- 6th November
Leonard Cohen- Birmingham NEC- 22nd November

And as for Conor Oberst, sole member of Bright Eyes, doing a 'solo' album, it's lucky for him that the record is solid gold...

...the real best out of the evening...

So, say it again: the night may be starless and dateless, but it's far from pitiless. In the wake of Tommy Burns's death, the emotional pressure on the Celtic players at Tannadice must have been immense, but now they can accept it properly, and everyone else can breathe again- it was sad and scary, and almost unbearable, but ultimately joyful, a celebration.

In Yeats's phrase, 'We sing amid our uncertainty'.

The Sound of Falling Love

They're back, and they're still beautiful...
