Stephin Merritt recommended Once In A Very Blue Moon by Nanci Griffith in Music (curated)

Album Favorite

"Texan singer-novelist Nanci Griffith doesn't compromise with her audience. I once heard her reverse-heckle a fan shouting out requests, retorting in her Tweety-Bird voice, "I don't come to where you work and yell at you!" Like all her first several albums this one is lyrics-heavy, with folk-country accompaniment (Dobros, lap steel, Bela Fleck's banjo), and the stories take precedence over the genre, to the point where she actually criticises country. The black housewife narrating 'Mary & Omie' reports "And I thank my Omie for taking me out of the South." Take that, Stephen Foster! Like the very different Mother Fist, this 1986 album is dedicated to Truman Capote (among others), and every song is a story song, full of car-jumping daredevils, lovelorn young widows, and of course touring musicians bored in buses, staring out into the endless falling snow.

Movie Rating
What to say about Black Water: Abyss... There's a lot of heavy breathing. And loads of the characters shouting eachothers names. Plenty of tropes ripped straight out of the first movie - minimal crocodile, a character who is injured and becomes a burden, a pregnant character for that extra pinch of drama - but it's once again helmed by Andrew Traucki, so is it really plagiarism if he's stealing from himself?

Its not the worst killer animal film I've ever seen. There are a few tense moments, a good cast, and the choice to not show the crocodile too often is probably a good one, considering it looks dodgy as fuck when the films climax arrives, but it's a little too drawn out for my taste, and the tension isn't good enough to stop the overall film from dragging hard, and ends up being a mediocre watch at best.

Another book off my to-be-read pile and this was a fun, quick read ... what's not to like ... space, theme park, zombies?

I admit to being a fan of Iain's books and he is one of my go to authors if I want a bit of blood, gore and mindless violence and I am never disappointed.

Here we have a romp into space when contact with a theme park on the moon is lost. Enter a group of cosmonauts (not sure why astronauts wasn't used?) sent to investigate but, pretty quickly, things go awry and it soon turns into a fight for survival ... how many will get out intact!

This is one of those books that you read just for entertainment purposes and not for anything heavy or too deep so if you're looking for something with a hidden message or meaning, then this probably isn't for you.
