Some New Things

I started reading a new book, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I love the dedication inside the front cover, to her husband; it rings with truth and fitting for a memoir...or a church for that matter:

"To John, for convincing me that everyone who is interesting has a past."








The other day on KCRW got a first real listen to Duffy, the latest breakout from the UK; sounds a lot like Amy Winehouse without the swagger. Because it's her debut, it's hard to determine if it's gimmicky or mostly production, or if she is in fact the real deal. But I liked what I heard.

Check out her SXSW/US debut last week: http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb080314duffy
