youtube alerts sometimes conspire against you


Chris Killen reads from "Paul Simon Gives Chevy Chase The Finger" at Rough Trade East.

I spent most of my weekends at Rough Trade East and yet I was not here. I did not know Chris Killen was going to be there. I have missed my chance to stalk him.

You still can submit something to the Guardian Short Story competition. I am going to. It's a story about nazis and Sotheby's auctions.

I went to a classical music thing about Robert Burns today. It was in a very small church in the City. All the musicians were irreverently young and odd-looking. It felt like I was witnessing some sort of Nodame Cantabile cosplay.

How would I ever become a serious literaty author if I keep referring to Haydn in terms of japanese manga for girls? Maybe then I do not want to become a serious author. Does Ian McEwan casually quote Hana Yori Dango at parties? I wouldn't want to be Ian McEwan in any case.

The BBC documentary about Rufus Wainwright was rad.
