Paulo, I'm excited for our first big street festival in Hoboken since the pandemic began, later today. Includes the Smithereens with guest vocalist Marshall Crenshaw. How are you??
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:08am
Paulo AD:

I absolutely adore Bowie. I have him tattood on my chest, managed to see him live three times too. Glasto 2000 was undoubtably the best
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:09am

Jack that sounds awesome, very jealous :) Apart from my stinking hangover I'm ok thanks man. Just waiting for the cyclone to hit the city

Gnomon But Make It Spooky:

oh did I hear a call for book recommendations? If you like crime novels, Brian D, you might check out Jar City by Arnaldur Indriðason. It's an icelandic murder mystery that could only happen in Iceland because of the weird genetics there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:15am
Brian D:

Thanks @Gnomon! Will do so. Missus and I loved "Trapped," an Icelandic crime TV program.

G'day Jack, sorry to leave ya hangin man. Wason the phone with Mum.
👍😎
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:17am
Gnomon But Make It Spooky:

I saw ads for that one, but never checked it out. I'm on a kick of studying some related things right now. In non-fiction, if you want a really good history of the Vikings that blows away stereotypes, I'm reading Children of Ash and Elm by Neil Price and love it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:18am
Paulo AD:

I'm reading brighton rock at the moment. Going to dive back into Lovecraft for spooky season too
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:19am

Graham Greene! My knowledge of the Vikings stops at Hagar the Horrible, @Gnomon, so I might check that out.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:21am
Brian D:

@Heidee, watching Italian cop show Non Uccidere now. Very good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:21am
Gnomon But Make It Spooky:

@Heidee I never watched Fortitude but I listened to the soundtrack on loop during some very intense times so I already have feelings about it.

I won a drawing contest with a viking ship many years ago

We're watching squid game at the moment, it's pretty good
Avatar 5:39am
Heidee:

Thanks @Brian and Paulo, will def look out for it.
@Gnomon, nothing beats a good soundtrack, esp for those kinds of films. 👍 I like using my audio-cinematic finds in my theatre productions, and people are always wondering where the hell I had gotten my stage sounds from.
