Music: It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful - Slow Club

Sheffield songsmiths Slow Club have a new album out this week and this is a song from it. I assume it's a single or something. The NME gave the album 8/10:

Sheffield duo Rebecca Taylor and Charles Watson, aka Slow Club, take the opposite route for their debut album, dishing up a mish-mash of folk, country, skiffle and oh-so-cute indie-pop sounds which are far too delicate to need that nasty masculine bass guitar anyway. It’s an approach which won’t be to everyone’s taste – in fact, there’s a certain type of person who’ll hate it. These people – for argument’s sake we’ll call them ‘idiots’ – will doubtless hurl their favourite four-letter word, ‘twee’, at Slow Club as if it were the cause of all the world’s ills, from climate change to Adam Sandler. As I said, these people are idiots.

Books: The Catcher In The Rye - JD Salinger

Following the news that JD Salinger has blocked the publication of an unofficial sequel (click here for the full story), today seems like a good day to recommend The Catcher In The Rye. Follow Holden Caulfield as he wanders through New York - according to some it's still "the defining work on what it is like to be a teenager".

Links: Rick Dangerous online

Continuing the retro games theme we started a few posts back, Rick Dangerous is an Indiana Jones-style platform game that many of us had fun playing back in the 1980s. Now you can enjoy shooting enemies and collecting treasure again, thanks to the free online version available here. If you're playing the game for the first time, start off by keeping your finger firmly pressed down on the right arrow key to avoid the rolling boulder...

Music: Goddess On A Hiway - Mercury Rev

I never quite understood why they did two videos for this song, but I think I like the fishing trip one best.
