The "library" in the hotel here in Vilanova consists of one Stephen Coonts novel (I won´t insult you by posting a link), Zafon´s Shadow of the Wind, and 1984. Not entirely sure why this particular Orwell novel is offered instead of the more obvious ones. Perhaps it was left by a guest who´d assumed it was Orwell´s account of his trip to Catalunya 22 years ago.
Surreal TV viewing tonight enabled me to watch Michael Robinson comment on England´s chances tommorrow, Germany´s surreal win against Poland, and an interview on TVE1 with Subcomandante Marcos, live from Mexico City. Now, I don´t have much Spanish, but does that guy speak sense or what?
Oh yes, and one last comment on Primavera, that I´d forgotten until I consumed the better part of a bottle of 1992 Tempranillo: How can you watch the Flaming Lips and NOT rejoice?
Wish me a happy hangover.

In the latest MOJO (worth getting for The Handsome Family version of "Eleanor Rigby" alone) Wayne Coyne explains that the aliens represent Scientology and teh Santas represent Christianity. Clear now? It's a bit of a Primavera special with interviews with Lemmy, Jaz Coleman and Wayne C. on consecutive pages
The handsome Family doing "Eleanor Rigby"? Does she die in the end or something?
