A fairly short post today and a long weekend off for me as I'm off to this festival early on Friday morning to see Sonic Youth, Primal Scream, the Buzzcocks, The Pastels, Yo La Tengo, My BloodyValentine, The Membranes...and loads more. The great thing about this festival is that I get to sleep in a proper bed, and wee in a proper loo. Bliss.
So there'll be a review from my Dad tomorrow and then I'm back on Monday. Have a lovely weekend.
It's obviously Russel McLean Day today as my favourite Dundonian (admittedly, I don't know that many, but he'd still be my favourite) is all over the place. First of all, a review of THE GOOD SON at January Magazine. Next another great review - this time of THE LOST SISTER in the always excellent THE SKINNY. And finally, Russel himself on what books he's looking forward to in 2010, including Tony Black's LOSS, which I am very excited about myself.
Robert Downey Jr talks about Sherlock Holmes.
Philip Kerr interviewed in The Socialist Worker.
Alexander McCall Smith on Corduroy Mansions.
And, finally, lovely to read something about children getting excited about books.

Och, you're such a gadabout, D. Just jealous. I never get anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWas just over at Declan Burke's Irish Crime Novels of the Year. You gonna fly the flag for Scotland?
I am indeed Michael - but not as well as Dec does it! I've just put up a list of all the books published this year.
