Frost/Nixon
For Foe's birthday we went to see Frank Langella and Michael Sheen as Richard Nixon and David Frost respectively in Frost/Nixon by Peter Morgan.
It was absolutely fantastic – funny, sharp, pugilistic, poignant.
In this piece in The Guardian on Morgan the playwright, it reveals this to be his first play, following a series of successful political docudramas on TV. Makes sense after the fact. The play had the jump-cutty, hyperlinky texture of modern TV at it's best.
It also had late 70's international jet-set moderne set dressings and fashions a-plenty, which made me think that Adam Greenfield would have 'lost his shit' over had he been there.
Americans – when it goes to the States, as it must – see it.

Spooks does Alternative-3!
Wow.
The season finale of Spooks was pretty damn good, and wonderfully subversive. Not to give too much away if you're watching a repeat or bittorrenting from the US, but they basically have US and the UK hatching an "Alternative-1" from the "Alternative-3" scenario, i.e. planned and organised dieback in response to a Malthusian MegaCat. Blimey!!!
Fantastic.
I’ll say it again
can't someone compel Beyonce to cover "Black and White Town" by The Doves? Imagine her big voice striding over that song. How does one make these things happen?

Wierdest/Best Hotel Muzak ever…
6.30am, Holiday Inn City Centre, Helsinki. Feels more like 4.30am to me as I just got to Finland late last night.
In the breakfast room they are playing a muzak-y, light-jazz instrumental version of "Pusherman" by Curtis Mayfield!
Only in Finland.
Bring on the peak oil.
Today:
1) The UK government published a report stating we as a country need to make major changes in our behaviour in order to avoid certain environmental armageddon
2) Some bastard driving while on his cellphone tried to run me over. Actually pointed his car at me, and gunned it, once i gestured he should not be driving while talking on a phone.
Take all the cars away now from people under 50 without children.
Now.
Give everyone else horses or bikes.
Actually – just bikes.
The horses, while pretty, will fart us into greenhouse oblivion, and that bastard would probably have just trampled me.
