Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Desire (The Seductors, #1) in Books

Jan 6, 2021

Finally giving this story up. DNF @ 27%

I'm not the biggest fan of erotica, so this was a little iffy for me going in. I thought it would be better because its plot sounded interesting: Men and women who work for an agency who seduce people to find out business secrets, plots for bad things, microchips etc, but Jade--the main character--starts to have feelings for her target.

I'm not sure if it was the writing style or just the way the author had decided to play the story out but I couldn't get into it. It was really heavy on the sex in that first 25% and like I said not a fan of too much sex.

I really need to stay away from books that are more sex than romance.

"This was the mid-’80s, around the time PiL made Album. On that record, I was referring to the heavy metal scene, which had crawled up its own backside. It was endless bands imitating each other, the same nonsense that punk turned into. But great achievements were made in music around then too. Everything from madder folk outfits and pop music itself was becoming very interesting then. I was always pleasantly surprised that oddball stuff would creep in the charts from nowhere. Someone like Gary Numan gave pop music a very distinctive and clear tone that was all his own. “At this stage, I would have been buying everything that was being made, but Alice Cooper’s Killer never left me. That easy way of growling he had was always impressive."

Rick Nielsen recommended Framed/Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Rock in Music (curated)

"The album with Faith Healer. No one else around the midwest, apart from us guys, was following this kind of music. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band were incredible. They were another band I knew about from reading people like Chris Welch. I could picture what they sounded like just from reading, because back then the writers were real writers. I never got to see The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, but I could visualise what they were like. Alex Harvey got up and played with us at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1980, a couple of years before he died. We did 'Shakin' All Over' and he ate a cassette - what the fuck? They were a mash of cool stuff: the music was haunting and heavy and fun, all at the same time."

"This is more of a collection, rather than an album, I guess, but it's a collection of songs I've listened to hundreds of times. I like jazz, but I don't like all jazz. I like very specific jazz and Chet Baker falls into that category. I prefer Chat Baker's versions of those old standards than any other version. It's very straightforward, there's no frills, it's very direct. The way that he sings is the way that he plays. His voice kind of sounds the way that he plays the trumpet. It's really clean and clear sounding. Not too heavy. It's very straightforward, but with feeling. All the words that I'm using to describe it might sound derogatory but I don't mean it that way at all. His voice is very unadulterated"
