quote of the day
"Cities at night, I feel, contain men who cry in their sleep and then say Nothing. It's nothing. Just sad dreams. Or something like that...Swing low in your weep ship, with your tear scans and sob probes, and you would mark them. Women--and they can be wives, lovers, gaunt muses, fat nurses, obsessions, devourers, exes, nemeses--will wake and turn to these men and ask, with female need-to-know, "What is it?" And the men will say, "Nothing. No it isn't anything really. Just sad dreams."

IMAGERY OF THE DAY...
From article on the selling of J.G.Ballard's home Sam Lieth had this to say...
It is brilliantly Ballardian. His editor once told me that Ballard saw his role, as a writer, to be the man standing on the hard shoulder of a particularly hairy curve on the motorway of modernity, holding up a bent cardboard sign on which were scrawled words to the effect of "TROUBLE AHEAD!" or "BRIDGE OUT!" If we can't buy the house, we could at least have a whipround for a statue of the man holding just such a placard. He could be hanging over the side of Laleham Road, just where it passes over the M3.
I really enjoy this image of him :)

Stop Press
Shocking scoop from Blogrelay. An undisclosed source close to the blog and recently made unemployed by their close involvement with the NoW scandal has discovered a shocking truth about our very own Will. It appears that Will may have used his musical talents during the sixties to sing catchy ballads written by Burt Bacharach, and may be using the royalties from Casio keyboard demo buttons to fund his rock and roll lifestyle. Here's the evidence and we'll keep you updated when Rebekah... I mean Ms. X gets us more...
