Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Surprised it took me so long to find this album, Americana is the flavour of the month. Looking forward to hearing the other albums when I find them at good prices.
Calexico/Iron & Wine - In the Reigns. Almost country with slide guitars, but some nice tunes from Sam Beam and cohorts. Pity it's only 7 tracks.
Otherwise, a little bit of this and a little bit of that, some Johnny Cash, some Neil Young and a bit o' the Shins. Need to get a bit Indie again soon or who knows what I'll be listening to.
Aside from music my life is still travelling and GP-ing and frisbee...including new found organisational nightmares relating to things being overly popular (a first for the club). Enjoying it overall though.

Helen and I watched 'The Princess Bride' movie based on the William Golding Novel of the same name last week. I read the book on the plane on the way to India way back in July and was pleasantly surprised; it reads like a good old fashioned fairly tale. The film seems to make it slightly more childish than I imagined from the book and some of the epic scale of the journey was lost but enjoyable nevertheless (includes a cameo appearance from Columbo). Worth a watch if you're in a light-hearted and forgiving of the 80s mood.
Goodnight.
