In brief
First off, many happy returns to Captain Paulos of the good ship Anglepoised and secondly, good luck to Ben who's guest-blogging over at Troubled-Diva over the next couple of weeks. This guest-blogging malarkey is very fashionable at the moment, and although it gives people like Ben a deserved opportunity to widen his exposure, and I'm not singling out the tribbly diva for criticism here, I can't help feeling that generally it smacks a bit of taking your website a little too seriously. This news just in: the world *will* keep turning if your blog doesn't update while you're on holiday, or otherwise busy, drunk or hungover. Which is a bit of a relief all round, really, not least for Superman (who, after all, *has* just lost his dad).
Paul Foot RIP. There was a good piece on the renowned investigative journalist by Mark Steel in today's Independent but it's already in their pay-archives so I shan't link to it.
The Fiery Furnaces' inexorable rise to world domination continues with a 9.6/10 Pitchfork review for new album Blueberry Boat.
Shola: Ama Coke Fiend. Let's not tell her no-one can remember who she was or what she sung - the poor dear's probably paranoid enough already.
For reasons a little too elusive for PV to grasp, Juliette Lewis is back in fashion. Chuck Palahniuk even ditches his dayjob to interview Geoffrey's gal about Bob De Niro's clean thumbs and how to 'become a rack'. Strange days, indeed.
Mercury Music Prize nominees in. No Moz or Jamie Cullum, but apart from that no alarms and no surprises in the selection. If there's any justice in this world, the choice will be between Basement Jaxx, Belle & Sebastian and The Streets. But of course there *is* no justice in the world, so stick your shekels on Joss Stone instead.
Jessica Alba is The Invisible Girl in the Fantastic Four movie adaptation. Nah, can't see it, myself.
Congratulations to Anja on her explosive piece of nanofiction being selected for inclusion on Warren Ellis' Die Puny Humans (scroll down page to last story and cute pic).
And finally...So Says I, LA hipster blogging complete with neat design, courtesy of Kerry, covering The Walkmen, Palahniuk and Showgirls, amongst others.
