This morning have been playing the CD "Kaddish" by Towering Inferno (Island) whilst checking up on my Discogs orders and adding more books to the Play Trade site. Sold three more items on Discogs to pot on Monday.
Here is some info about Towering Inferno i grabbed from Last FM -
Richard Wolfson was born to an orthodox Jewish family. In his early years he learnt piano and guitar, and, at the age of 17, formed the first of a succession of bands with Saunders. Towering Inferno was conceived as a large scale multimedia stage project, involving film and electronics. Wolfson and Saunders met with and were impressed by the Hungarian poet Endre Szkárosi and his cryptic poetry was a stimulus for their major work, the stage show and album Kaddish, which was created over five years and is an extended reflection on the Jewish prayer of the same name , including references to the history and folk-lore of Central and Eastern Europe and to the Shoah. The music includes adaptations of Hungarian folk-songs, some of them sung by Márta Sebestyén and Szkárosi, Jewish chant and the sound of the shofar, and dramatic electronic sound-effects. Kaddish was originally released in 1993 and described by its creators as ‘a dream history of Europe in the wake of the Holocaust’.
I saw the first half of England's game yesterday whilst waiting for my coach back home.( I was doing the council survey in Slough again and completed another 2 quotas). I saw our goal and the slip up of of our goalkeeper and then had to catch the coach. I went via London rather than Heathrow as i wanted to divert to MVE in Notting Hill to do some exchanges. Picked up three books from the £18 of exchange vouchers with £9 of vouchers left to spend another time.
Wiigenstein's Poker - Dave Edmonds and John Eidinow (Faber)
Literary Theory,an Introduction - Terry Eagleton (Blackwell)
The Uses Of Cultural Studies - Angela McRobbie (Sage)
Also through the post via Amazon at a very cheap second hand price -
Modern Art and Modernism - edited by Francis Frascina and Charles Harrison (PCP)
Some more reading to do whilst on my journeys.
