Sunday Evening Sounds?
Ravonettes, low level tinnitus - stuck with that - and birdies still chirping at 17.58 which means Spring is on the way. Hurrah!

Are you procrastinating right now? Ooh I bet you are you terrible procrastinating tinkers.

I'm watching the football on the telly, rather than going to the gym.

But I quite enjoy going as you can see your progress.

I met the Ravonettes once
One drunken night at the Colosseum in Coventry, after they had played, beer bravado had me encouraging my friends to head to the bands dressing room upstairs. We were challenged on they way by the club promoter, but then the Ravonettes manager stuck his head out and said "It's ok, they're with us", nice guy, nice band.
I can relate to your tinnitus too.

Gravity's Rainbow - don't bother
You'll be none the wiser anyway.

Vineland to Inherent Vice to love TP at his best.

White Noise is smashing - Libra is even more smashing. I think we both love Underworld so no point in my pointing you to that.

EDIT - Pynchon - Against The Day. It's three good books, incomprehensibly crushed into one. Don't try it until he dies when I will cry a bit, but then it might get re-edited properly.

I'm a sucker for beautiful prose. And girls in stockings.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Sun 26 Feb 2012, 20:17, Reply)

Underworld is something else
But DeLillo is his own man. If you've never read Libra do so.

Pynchon can be beautiful but can slip into self indulgence - I found "The Crying of Lot 49" impossible but "Mason and Dixon" is fantastic. As above, "Against The Day" is superb, but so disjointed it's difficult to follow.
