"A CIVIL ACTION" by Jonathan Harr - I read this fascinating courtroom drama during a stretch of really long drives on tour and it made the time fly by. Meticulously researched and documented, this book is nonfiction but reads like a novel. It's the true story of a Boston lawyer that puts everything on the line to win a case. Beautifully painted characters and terrific attention to detail.
"A TALE OF TWO CITIES" by Mr. Hudson & The Library - checked out this album after reading that Kanye West was a big fan and I loved it instantly. Mr. Hudson sounds kind of like a hip hop David Bowie. He's got fresh songs and unique, quirky production that sounds both classic and modern. The album was never officially released in America, but you can buy it on iTunes.
YOGA - I've resisted trying yoga for a long time. I think I was intimidated by the peaceful one-ness that yoga enthusiasts always seem to exhibit. So it pains me to admit that the 15 minutes after yoga are easily the best I feel all day. I'm sooooo zen-ful.
LATE NIGHT TV WATCHING - I generally don't watch TV during the day, but I love crawling into bed after a long day and grabbing the remote. I spend 5 minutes finding the perfect thing to watch, knowing I'll be asleep by minute six. Old movies, strange infomercials, music video countdowns, rare biography specials about interesting people. Why do they save all the cool TV for when everyone's asleep?
"FUNNY FARM" - The holy grail of late night TV channel surfing is this terrible 80's comedy starring Chevy Chase. I caught it on TV once and I've been trying to find it ever since. I tried renting it on DVD but it just wasn't the same. It needs to be stumbled upon, discovered by accident. I'm not even sure I like the movie all that much. I don't remember laughing at it once, but it would be great to fall asleep to.
FRENCH FRIES - I can't ever imagine getting tired of eating french fries. And I'm not sure that's a good thing.
VICTORIA, BC - This remote Canadian town felt like walking around in a dream. It seemed at times both terribly empty and yet bustling with people everywhere I looked. The band and I caught a ferry from Vancouver and watched the Canadian landscape sail by as we pulled into the dock. I spent the day walking around in the rain, stopping at a tiny organic cafe for lunch, sitting in a serene coffee shop, discovering tiny alleys with strange little shops. When I finally got to the venue that night for our show, I was relaxed and inspired. Thank you Victoria.
