here comes everybody ( ‘everything is a puzzle’)

on identifying sonny rollins in four bars flat - horsemouth was going to say coltrane (but something stopped him). pure luck really. he's only ever owned one sonny rollins album (same for albert ayler). john coltrane he has masses of (but then there's masses to own).

horsemouth was in buying books (his major sin) - a book on encounter culture (here comes everybody) and er... he’s forgotten, no, it has come back to him, cesar birotteau balzac (horsemouth moves closer to his long term goal of having read all of la comédie humaine - a hardback one of the rare ones that never makes it into english (fortunately here in english). two squid the pair.

wednesday he bumped into an old friend (and brother of an ex).

reading wise the john berger landscapes is going well - horsemouth is on to the walter benjamin piece. the opportunity cost of this blog is one pound and seventy pence (horsemouth has had to break his usual traverse of the seaside towns to do it).

‘everything is a puzzle’ sadly remarked a passing student. (aw bless).
