Silence In The Blackwood

 "The Complete John Silence Stories" by Algernon Blackwood is two hundred fifty pages of closely typed Victorian Supernatural tales, and it reminds me of "Carnacki: The Ghost Finder" by William Hope Hodgson. You can read more about him here. This will take me a lot longer than my last book but I am finding rather good.

Victorian Blackwood Silence

The Collected Works of Billy the Kid by the Canadian Michael Ondaatje. Part diary part poetry drawing on contemporary accounts, period photographs, dime novels, and his own prodigious fund of empathy and imagination, only a hundred pages but like nothing I have read before. That is complete now and is brilliant but at times horrific, the prose morphing into poetry and back. I will probably revisit it though it is not a happy book, but is very intense.

Next up is "The Complete John Silence Stories" by Algernon Blackwood, two hundred and fifty pages of Victorian Supernatural tales just to take me off in a different direction.

The Collected Works Of Billy The Kid

 "Creation Stories" by Alan McGee (that's the record label, not religion or history) is finished. It's still Oasis being the biggest band in the world (I think they are an adequate pub band) The Libertines were a band who's only button was self-destruct, but then McGee found Glasvegas.

My next book is The Collected Works of Billy the Kid by the Canadian Michael Ondaatje. Part diary part poetry drawing on contemporary accounts, period photographs, dime novels, and his own prodigious fund of empathy and imagination, only a hundred pages but like nothing I have read before. This will be finished on my next post I think. The nearest I can compare it to is "taRaNtula" by Bob Dylan though it is nothing like it.

Creation Poptones Super Furry Animals And Libertines

"Creation Stories" by Alan McGee (that's the record label, not religion or history) is coming to the end. It's still Oasis being the biggest band in the world (I think they are an adequate pub band)m Creation has gone and Poptones with The Libertines is where I am up to.

I was unaware that the Super Furry Animals were on Creation, and I do love them so I will feature one of their songs as they really might be the best band in the world. A damned sight better than Oasis.

Creation: Oasis

 "Creation Stories" by Alan McGee (that's the record label, not religion or history) and I have just got up to the chapter on Oasis who forced their way onto a Creation gig in Glasgow and impressing McGee enough to sign them and try and make them the biggest band in the world. They were the first of his bands to be arrested by the police after a ruckus with Chelsea fans on the ferry to Amsterdam.

They never got there.

Re: Creation

"Creation Stories" by Alan McGee (that's the record label, not religion or history) is an easy read for me, and I am learning a lot and think I need to properly revisit, House of Love, Teenage Fanclub and My Bloody Valentine. With the Oasis furore going on this is an appropriate read methinks. I think my next book needs to be fiction but we shall see.

Alan McGee Creation Stories

"Copendium" by Julian Cope is done. Next up is "Creation Stories" by Alan McGee (that's the record label, not religion or history) and I have already devoured over a hundred pages featuring bands like Jesus and Mary Chain, and Primal Scream but Oasis hasn't turned up yet, normal for them. There is so much drug taking and fighting that I suppose it is good to remember but not good to be part of.
