    Summer 2010: Fyodor Dostoevsky: The Brothers Karamazov

    still read only 300 pages of volume 1 ( referring to the progress publication), and just starting to appreciate the richness of characters - the three lechers - the father, Dimitri & the tortured Ivan (Alyosha being the white sheep, in a family of black sheep).

    What albums have interested you thus far in 2010

    I think out of the albums that I've listened to so far, Peter Gabriel's "scratch my back" & Brad Mehldau's "Highway Rider" are the best. Those who love cross-over Jazz, check out the Mehldau album - BRILLIANT !!!!

    What are you listening to Right now?

    These days I am listening to Peter Gabriel's new CD - "Scratch my Back" where he literally kills 12 known tracks by other artists (heroes - David Bowie, Boy in the bubble- Simon, Philadelphia - Neil Young , street spirit - radiohead) & re-creates them to moody, slow paced songs. I enjoy it...

    The Best albums for 2009, thus far

    The Groo Grux King Had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend, listening to Dave Matthews Band's "Big Whiskey and the Groo Grux King". Possibly the best DMB album ever, bettering "Before these crowded streets" and "Busted Stuff." And as a result Green Day slides down one slot to give way to the Groo...

    The Best albums for 2009, thus far

    I just listened to some of the samples off the Porcupine tree album, I think it sounds awesome. It sounds as it's a cross between the early Genesis, and Tool. If anyone sounds as good as Tool, count me into their fan club ( Lateralus is one of my all time favourite albums). I am going to get...

    The Best albums for 2009, thus far

    Listened to some of the samples off Helm's album. Reminds me of Buddy Guy. Not bad. Also sampled Matisyahu & Nutini. While the latter is pleasant & kind of care free, I couldn't gel into Matisyahu. I guess these will have to go along with the Morrisey, Neil Young and Manic Street Preachers...

    The Best albums for 2009, thus far

    lesser known artistes I will try to find & listen to the Nutini & Helm CDs. Especially Helm could interest me, given I like Dylan. Looks like Matisyahu is not down my alley (rap/reggae isn't). joderu, did you listen to the Greenday album (or any other albums that I've listed) ? What's your...

    Albert Camus: The Outsider

    Camus and his works of Fiction This is a short essay on three works of fiction by Albert Camus -The Outsider, The Fall and The plague. I thought I'd write this surmise because upon reading these three books, Camus became my favourite author. The Outsider, a novel about a young man, who leads...
