A touch al dente but hit the spot when rolled up into a pizza sandwich.

Fleetwood Mac – Tango in the Night
The Guardian has reviewed the upcoming ‘deluxe’ reissue of Tango in the Night. If you read the first post on this blog you’ll know that this is perhaps my favourite album. It’s almost all killer. I can’t get tired of it’s solid gold driving pop and have always been a little surprised that it gets glossed over by the band itself in the various TV docs (no doubt due to what appears to be the toxic environment in which it was created).
I’m a big fan of many elements but the percussion really stands out. Pulsing and driving on tracks like ‘Caroline’ and ‘Tango in the Night’.
‘Isn’t it Midnight’ another example. The subsequent ‘live’ VCR in which Stevie Nicks insisted on cutting in close up shots of her face is however priceless.
Beyond
Junior portion but looking natty.
To the max
Nice little crispy one.
Irvine Welsh – The Blade Artist
Easy to read, silly, bit dark toward the end. A nostalgic read having first been introduced to these characters 20 years or so ago. Not crazy about it but enjoyed it none the less, save for some of the ‘artistry’ towards the end.
The Penguin Podcast with Richard E Grant promoting this was ok.

Serious
Looking sharp, though could have been crispier.
This, however, was killer.
2017 Starts with a Pizza
100% a great start to the year. Here’s hoping for a mega year of music and pizzas.

L.A. Confidential – James Ellroy
Ripping. Two cops, one privileged, educated, the other brawn and limited brain. Really enjoyable but you have to get on board with Ellroy’s style, his voice. A review of another of Elroy’s books, Perfidia, picks out that Ellroy cranks everything up and leaves it there. This is cool but can be fatiguing. Check out this interview with him to get a flavour of this style.

Recommended and I’m now off to start Perfidia and re-watch the LA Confidential movie to see how they sliced up the book to make a comprehensible (and classifiable) movie.
