A new compilation has been released of Buddy Holly covers by the likes of Karen Elson, Jon Brion, Fiona Apple, Lou Reed, She and Him, Modest Mouse and the Black Keys. I'm a bit taken with the Black Keys version of Dearest. Although let it be said: theres no substitute for the original. And for some reason they've got Kid Rock on there. Ahem. And then theres this Francoise Hardy song, thanks to Tomboy Style.

And these are the two books I've just received from Amazon: A Three Dog Life by Abigail Thomas and the Collected works of Nathaniel West.

Sorry fellas, this ones for the girls:
Zooey Deschanel (she of the perfect fringe and mascara adds) has created a fun blog with her friends called hellogiggles. There may be a faint odour of hipster about it but we'll let them away with it!
Enjoy your weekends!
I'm sorry, call me a purist, but I still prefer the original! (could be an age thing)
