I couldn't have lived without you, part 2.

More randomness. These lists are an attempt to plot my point on the grid, wherever these disparate points might converge.

CDs:
Dusty Springfield: just about anything, but esp. Dusty in London
Get Down Tonight: The Best of T.K. Records.
ELO: "Don't Bring Me Down"
Labelle: Nightbirds
Foreigner: "Double Vision," "Feels Like the First Time," "Urgent"
Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin III
Spinners: Mighty Love, Pick of the Litter
Buddy Holly: all

Books:
Lisa Shea, Hula
Gregory Orr, Concerning the Book That is the Body of the Beloved
Jim Bouton, Ball Four
Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes (The man has essentially written one book, though he's written two after this one. 'Tis gets cranky, and I haven't read Teacher Man. But man, if you have a book to write, make it Angela's Ashes.)

Saw Hanna last night at our local drive-in; I'm not sure I can tell you what I saw, exactly. I thought we were getting some kind of survivalist fairy tale, but then the plane zoomed over and we got a shoot-em-up, of a sort. Still, it has an aesthetic.
