Stephen Morris recommended Paris 1919 by John Cale in Music (curated)

Album Favorite

"Towards the end of the list I was getting desperate, but Paris 1919 came to me straight away - it's one of my all time favourite albums. It's like the anti-Transformer; I see it as the antithesis of that record, and I definitely have more love for Paris 1919. I think it's the best album John Cale's ever made. It's odd, because it's a poppy record, but even his poppy records have sinister overtones. And I love 'Child's Christmas In Wales'. It's a very Christmassy album. Do I play it a lot at this time of year? I'm forbidden from playing records at home. I put Berlin on at home once, and it just killed the room. I tried to make it better by playing some Motown, but the atmosphere had gone."

Movie Rating
Third entry in the so-called Knives Out series of murder mysteries, this time relocating to a quiet country church and following Benoit Blanc - who doesn't appear until a good 30 minutes or so into the movie - and priest Reverend Jud Duplenticy, who most of the hard-core followers of the flock of fire and brimstone preacher Monsignor Jefferson Wick believe to be responsible for said Monsignor's death, in another locked room mystery.

The film really belongs to Josh O'Connor as the ex-boxer and now priest Duplenticy, ably supported by Daniel Craig's southerner (and atheist) Benoit Blanc. The denouement is maybe dragged out a bit too long, and it does take a while to get going, but at least this shows that faith and logic can coexist.

I laughed my way through this dark, genuinely funny novel.

Laila is a mother of two, and desperate to move to a better area of London. She wants her husband to get the promotion, her children to be accepted into the expensive private school, and for the dead body in the living room to be somewhere else - and who on earth is he?!

Laila is clever, manipulative, very cold and dangerous. However, everything she does has a domino effect, which results in her having to clear up one inconvenience after another.

This is a twisty, fast paced novel, and the narrator, Perdita Weeks, was perfect in bringing Laila to life. It made the prospect of having a sociopath as a friend an attractive proposition (for the laughs, of course!).
