space odyssey

2AM, English coursework bibliography looking distinctly sparse ;

"Bibliography
· Lolita, Much Ado, Venus in Furs, etc
· Hilgards or whatever that thing is
· The talking cure: Literary representations of psychoanalysis : Jeffrey Berman New York & London: New York University Press, 1985
(?????????????????????????????????)
· Larry Wolff “Introduction” Venus in Furs
· Harold Bloom “The Invention of the Human” (read? Don’t read? Just reference in passing?) "



In other news, M.I.A.'s new material is looking ridiculously promising, as in, kind of spacey (worst review of a song called 'Space Odyssey' ever) and reverb and good, working with Rusko is cool although, hey, where is Blaqstarr, how is he even doing. Vivian Girls' new thing, 'Everything Goes Wrong' AKA 61ST BEST ALBUM OF 2009 ACCORDING TO SOME LAME INDIE PUBLICATION (how is some Black Lips offshoot which looks like a potential gang rape 'scenario' better than this???) is really really super good.

And finally, for things that are really really irrelevant, things on the BBC Sound of 2010 that suck - Marina 'I Genuinely Don't Get It' and the Diamonds, Ellie 'Why?' Goulding, Owl 'Seriously, though, why?' City, Hurts 'Are Probably The Death Of Avant-Pop Crossover, If Not Music As A Whole, At Least Until Daisy Dares You Takes Fun Electro Rock And Twists It Into Something That Can Illicit THIS.' I understand that I mentioned 'Lolita' earlier in this post so I can't make a joke relating to the fact that 55% of ReadPlatform's readership are right now beating off to a picture of a 16 year old girl with her tits out, but it still stands : that is potentially the worst thing on the internet right now.
