Read Modern Books, Listen To Modern Music, Do Modern Things

I wrote this mantra to myself on my phone the other day so every time I look at it [which is probably too much] I'd be reminded to keep on my toes as I often have a tendency to read old books, listen to old music and do old things!

I'm reading Derek Jarman's, 'Modern Nature' at the moment. It's the diary Jarman wrote whilst living in Dungeness. Simon Fisher Turner, whose evocative music can be heard in Jarman's films is often mentioned and is an inspiration for me. Turner's musical diversity and variety really appeals to me.

I've been listening to the rapper, Mist and electronic music composer, Else Marie Pade [modern, I think] and also the classical guitarist Segovia and piano and harpsichord player, Wanda Landowska [definitely old]. The thing is, I'm inspired by old and new music in a wide variety of styles. I love it!

I'm just about to put my old shoes on and go and get a samosa in my new neighbourhood.....
