Musical Taste

By
Since I've been home alone since Sunday, I've been taking the opportunity to listen to old music that I haven't heard in ages.

Like many people, I maintain a huge Mp3 collection on an external hard drive.  Practically every CD I've ever owned (and a few I've never owned, but that's another story) plus hundreds of tunes bought or downloaded from various online sources.


My favourite songs this week are:
  • Lovely Head - Goldfrapp
  • Sunchyme - Dario G
  • The Golden Path - The Chemical Brothers & The Flaming Lips
  • The Weekend - Michael Gray
  • Gangster Trippin - Fatboy Slim
  • Praise You - Fatboy Slim
  • Reverence - Faithless
  • La Femme D'Argent - Air
  • Numb - Portishead
  • Wandering Star - Portishead
  • Protection - Massive Attack
  • Born Slippy - Underworld
  • Beachball - Nalin & Kane
  • Harvester of Sorrow - Metallica
My tastes have certainly changed over the years, and some of this stuff would never have been pat of my collection before.  Jeeze. I only added Metallica at the end there to give the list a little respect.

Arráncame la vida

Last night we attended the first night of the Hola Mexico Film Festival in Wellington.  The first movie of the season was Arráncame la vida (Tear This Heart Out) , the story of a woman who marries a Mexican General in the years following the Mexican Revolution of 1910 .   I found it to be a real genre breaker as far as Mexican cinema goes.  Over the years, we've seen several Mexican movies, and the general theme seems to be heart breaking tragedy, and rarely a happy ending.  This one was different however.  Although tragedy played a huge part in the story (I don't want to give anything away, but don't get too attached to the Carlos character.  He doesn't last long..), the ending seems quite uplifting.  Well, comparatively at least. The story starts when the protagonist is 15 years old, and being whirlwinded into a marriage with a famous (or infamous) general, twice her age.  It tracks her sexual awakening as a teenager, through to her...

Slow Cooked Pork with Potatoes & Gravy

By
Well Jacqui's away back to Mexico for a bit.  The teenagers were here and it all went very well. They're nice kids, and we had a GREAT TIME :) I also have some opinions about the state of modern Mexico that I'm dying to write about, but it's a bit to heavy for a sunday afternoon, so instead I'm gonna tell how to make something delicious. So, lets say you've got one of those slow cookers, and you've tried a few things but it always ends up kinda-tasting-the-same. Well, I know exactly how you feel.  I've tried several things, and usually they're OK, tasty enough, but lacking in whatever it would take to make the 6-8 hours worth it. Until I discovered a secret.  I didn't find this anywhere on the web, but I have inferred it. The secret with slow cooking is simplicity.  Each ingredient just adds to the mess of flavours and makes it's easier to get wrong.  It's like mixing paint.  The more colours you add, the more likely you are to ...
