I watched The Crying Game for the second time yesterday. It was time to. I got from the film desire, which makes me think this morning, have I any?
I remembered nothing from watching it the first time, except the obvious and not even the plot. Not even Jaye Davidson. Desire is a very immature [...]

Stills and Stiller

Oh Alice, Alice, Alice, the world will never know!
How will they know
What they want to know,
When time is the snatch thief;
Memory,
a leaf.

I always believe that when I die I’ll get to hear the whistle. When I was young, there was a film on television that I can only piece together now. It was a Chinese romance story, of a university girl in love with a man, who was also very much in love with her. They [...]
WATW for Haiti
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
Do What You Can, my friends, for Haiti, for a people and place so broken and unlike the one from where you and I can sing this song to.
I’ve been waiting since I heard the news of a second version. Well, it made my heart so full of hope and the hair on my back [...]
The Cool Delirium

HY’s favourite, Bangbangbang on the wall – from dusk till dawn…
You know how we have a rock tee rack outside the store, popular with the boys passing by. Girls, the kind who know Blondie’s music, come far and few. Dylan, Bowie, Johnny Cash, The Smiths, The Who, Yeah Yeah Yeahs… they get into your pants. [...]
Craftsmen’s Drawers
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Most times when we travel we travel like the rag-bone man. By the end of each day our nails are like chimney pots and our nostrils and hair dusty and dank. Even when we ought to be cleaner we couldn’t be – because we are always distracted by old stores and scrapes and one scrape [...]

If your photo lands up here and you hate that, please let us know.
Our dog will be two on Valentine’s Day. Here’s a shot of his everyday disgust when we go through the front door ready for work. HY’s ideal life is quite well captured by the top photo, a home where you [...]
Poem For A Heart In The City
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
YOU do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles [...]
More Of This World Needs To Know
Friday, January 29, 2010
of Tanita Tikaram.
1995 or so, and not a bit reduced by time.
Every time I listen to her, I am transported to the girl who would do anything for life. Anything. I’m not sure how much I’ve changed, but I know the pain of listening to her music is real.
You know what is more painful [...]
Remind Me The Reason I Came

Love the guitar and instruments that solo a way to another world.
3.35 onwards, do you, hear?
