One interesting snippet i wasn’t aware of.
Michael Lindsey Hogg is interviewed about Hey Jude /Rev vid and he goes on to mention ‘Let It Be ‘
“The rough cut had a lot more John and Yoko in it. Peter Brown called to say ‘some of the John and Yoko stuff should go’….No no I think it’s interesting.”
‘Let’s put it this way,’ says Peter……’I’ve had three phone calls this morning saying some of the john and Yoko stuff should go’
And finally he says he’s contacted Apple many times to try and get LIB released with all the extra footage that was taken out for time or personality reasons….”But it’s like dealing with the Kremlin..Just pointers and clues……..They regard it as the cherry on the cake of all the Beatles’ re-releases”

So what is outsider art, @Oudis?
Hello @Ahhh Girl, I’m summing up from Wikipedia:
“The term outsider art was coined in 1972 as an English synonym for the original French expression art brut (“raw art” or “rough art”), a label created to describe art created outside the boundaries of official culture, particularly art by psychiatric hospital patients or artists who live their lives as a recluse. It also includes certain self-taught or naïve artists who were never institutionalized. Typically, those labeled as outsider artists have little or no contact with the mainstream art world or art institutions. In many cases, their work is discovered only after their deaths. It has been characterized as those works created from solitude and from pure and authentic creative impulses – where the worries of competition, acclaim and social promotion do not interfere – which are, because of these very facts, more precious than the productions of professionals. We cannot avoid the feeling that in relation to these works, cultural art in its entirety appears to be the game of a futile society, a fallacious parade. Mainstream culture manages to assimilate every new development in art, and by doing so takes away whatever power it might have. The result is to asphyxiate genuine expression. Art brut is a solution to this problem – only art brut is immune to the influences of culture, immune to being absorbed and assimilated, because the artists themselves are not willing or able to be assimilated. “

I’m a little under half-way through at the minute, just as the novel is really kicking off. It’s alright so far but I’m not enjoying it as much as ‘Misery ‘.
I think I’ll take a short break from King next and either read, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire or American Psycho, I’m not sure yet. I’ll put it to a poll:

Not yet but I’ve seen scenes from it*. I generally watch a film adaption about one-two months after I’ve finished the book (speaking of which I still have to watch Cloud Atlas).
AP is meant to have really descriptive, gruesome, literally stomach-churning, torture/murder scenes that make a lot of people abandon the book, so it should be interesting to see if I can handle it.
*Like this one

Offline Yeah there are scenes which some may find too unpleasant to watch but it is a really good film if you can last it thru.
So does that mean you havent seen/read all the Harry Potter films/books?

Nay, I have read them all countless number of times, I’m simply rereading them as I haven’t read any of the later period books 5-7 in about 5 years at least and I feel they need a reread.

I was slowed down a bit because I finished a French book that I was reading at the same time. I’m finding AP alright, I don’t really get the mad-hype a lot of people have of it but I’m only a little under 1/2 through now. I also bought a load of French and German language books including:
Which will be my first ever Hugo, seeing as I’ve never read Les Mis.
^ I’ve never read anything by a Quebec-author before so this should be fun.
The German section was brutal (it just had load of boring, old history books which I have no interest in reading) so I got books translated from English instead.
^ I’ve been looking for a cheap copy of Slaughterhouse 5 for ages (I’ve been ruined by second-hand bookshops, I generally won’t spend anything over €8+ on a book anymore unless it’s brand-new). So this is great and I get to practice the old Deutsch.
^And my beloved ‘Of Mice and Men’, I’ve read this before but I didn’t have a copy of it so I decided to pick up the German-translation.
I also got another thriller novel in German but I can’t remember the title of it.
A lot of them are old editions from the 60’s and I love how you can instantly recognise a book printed in the 60’s they just have this really garish but still slightly cool-looking cheap design.
Also my copy of ‘Of Mice and Men’ had a postcard from India in it that the previous owner had (accidentally?) left in it- which is pretty cool.

I will not…
Anyways, I amn’t reading much these days because 1. I read all my library books; 2. I already finished my November assigned reading (Huckleberry Finn if you’re wondering, which I got last X-mas and read it then, and again now, and I’ve finished it); and 3. we haven’t gone back to the library.

Mein Schatz has a variety of meanings, my favourite being “my precious” as used by Gollum in the Lord of the Rings.
It also can be a term for any person you’re in a platonic/romantic relationship with like “ducky”, “dearest”, “sweetheart” yada yada.
And now you know.
