Bobby Gillespie recommended Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star in Music (curated)

"Sister Lovers is one of the most beautiful records. It's probably the record I've listened to more than any other. It's just a damaged and fractured, beautiful, plaintive, poetic record. And it still retains its sense of mystery. When we first went to Memphis we met Jim Dickinson [producer] and I asked him loads of questions on how he recorded Sister Lovers. We actually went to the studios where they recorded the album twice. We were absolutely obsessed by that record. Dickinson told stories about the recording process and allowing Alex Chilton to be himself. There's no one like them in the rock canon. There's a lot of pain in the record, a howl, anguish and pain. It's the sound of defeat. But there's also a duality of victory and defeat too, which is really rare in music but it makes it so appealing and attractive. Alex Chilton could go from The Box Tops to Big Star – the first two albums were pop rock, Byrds-y commercial songs. Then, he made Sister Lovers, which was like an art record. Pure art. There's nothing commercial about it. No one would release it. It was recorded in '74 to '75 and was released in 1978, after punk. This was because he was ahead of his time. It's only in the last 15 to 20 years that people have picked up on Sister Lovers. A record like no other."

Movie Favorite

"The single most touching teen movie happens to come from Scotland. About the pain of unrequited love, but it’s also very funny. Gregory’s connection with his little sister who looks after him is one of my favorite screen friendships and almost makes me cry in certain moments. A perfect movie."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Diamond Fire (Hidden Legacy, #3.5) in Books

Jan 7, 2021

I honestly thought this would just be an extended epilogue in which Nevada and Connor got married. I was very wrong. This story mainly focuses on Catalina doing equal parts wedding planning for her sister and solving a crime, with rather amusing consequences.

I honestly can't wait to read Catalina's story.

Nigella Lawson recommended Bread and Jam for Frances in Books (curated)

"This book was my late sister Thomasina’s favorite as a child, though it is close to my heart for other than sentimental reasons, too. Within its prettily illustrated story about a fussy eater, it is understanding and touching about the fears and joys of food, and of childhood. So enduringly touching."

"A full-on, climatic, steamy ending to the brothers. Now I can't wait for the sister! Absolutely recommended by me."
