Happy New Year! May it be everything you hope for, and more besides.

Once again, for the time travellers among us, here's last night's gig. It's not often I'm able to play a song by one of my very favourite bands and make a (mild) political statement, so I was very pleased to kick-start 2007 with Devo's "Beautiful World", which manages in two words to turn a syrupy pop-anthem into something much more subversive.



And here's a happy note to start the year on: The Crooked Letter is number nine on a list of the top ten books of 2006. Hurrah! Thanks, Pat.

Went back over the Devo best of recently. While my wife's fave would be "Whip it", mine would have to be "Freedom of Choice" :)

Both excellent choices! :-)

Inasmuch as I could ever pick just one, today it would be their cover of "Satisfaction". Much better than the original, imho.
