who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Back from Mallorca with epic tanlines. It was rather relaxing, just a week of browsing little jewellery shops, reading (see below), taking long walks, listening to Florence and the Machine and watching my father eat his body weight in miniture octopi.
I'm about 3/4 through Catch-22 but without a shadow of doubt it's become my new all time favourite. Next on my reading list are The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco and Kafka of the Shore by Haruki Murakami.

What's the time Mr. Wolf?
Sunday night a friend and I went to see Patrick Wolf. My god, he is just such a beautiful and serene young man in person. So talented and so modest. I think we both fell a little in love. He jumped down into the crowd during Tristan and pushed right past us, staring us in the face. If only my battery hadn't died just beforehand. I still got some decent photos though (the new camera works a treat at gigs).
I'm packaging my whole life into boxes at the moment. In a week and 24 hours I'll be back in Belfast. I was clearing out the papers in my bedside table and came across this extremely similar Dazed & Confused editorial I had tore out (along with a bag of Tayto crisps I forgot all about!!). I'm usually very adverse towards neon but I can definately get on board with this kind of UV makeup I think.

The Dead Weather
I came across something pretty downright incredible in my eyes whilst toiling over my programme journal all day and listening to The Kills.
The Dead Weather
These guys are like my ultimate superband. It's comprised of vocalist Alison Mosshart (The Kills), guitarist Dean Fertita (Queens of the Stone Age), bassist Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs and The Greenhornes) and drummer/vocalist Jack White (The White Stripes and The Raconteurs). I've been telling everyone and anyone who may or may not care this evening. Their first album Horehound is due for release sometime this year.
And just for extra measure...
A little of Alison Mosshart & Jamie Hince's on tour photography.
