LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW:

Transparent Things is Sheffield-born alternative pop virtuoso Gia Ford’s debut album.

RECENTLY WATCHED:

Wake In Fright (1971)… The wayward misadventures of an outback school teacher. Seriously, how else do you describe this insane film? I recently saw this at The Astor Theatre in Melbourne.

CURRENTLY READING:

While I’m some twenty seven years late to the party, earlier this year I started my journey with Lee Child’s Jack Reacher. I’m reading the series in the order they were published. Currently up to the twelfth book in the Jack Reacher series called Nothing To Lose which was published back in 2008.
