Bonnaroo 2008 Dates Announced.
As the temperatures continue to get lower and lower, it is hard not to think about the warmer days ahead once we creep into summer. Those warm, sunny days also mark the beginning of the summer festival season, with one of the biggest being the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Next year's four-day extravaganza will take place June 12 through 15 on the same 700 acre farm on Manchester, TN.
Of course, it is too early to start speculating about the lineup, although we've already seen a few fictitious Coachella lineups floating around online. Stay tuned for more Bonnaroo updates, as their official site states that performers will start being announced in late January and early February.

Taylor Caldwell Around the World
The delights of trash.
I snapped this on the way out of our hotel room yesterday. I love forgotten old paperbacks like this, which always crop up on hotel bookshelves. (It was sitting next to the inevitable out-of-sequence Len Deighton, another hotel classic.)
In both its appearance and the writing within, this is pure trash. (I meant to scribble down a juicy quote to pass on, but time and children wait for no man.) Nevertheless, if you're anything like me (and anything like as old), it sparks a gentle little pang of nostalgia. It's the sort of book you find in your granny's house, or on those squeaky revolving racks in the Sue Ryder shop. They've become imbued with a sort of gentle, whimsical melancholy, and I can't help but love them, trash as they are. Perhaps I'll begin a collection.
(Stop Press: The internet, of course, has just robbed me of the charming sense of mystery around this book. A quick Google reveals that Wikipedia has everything you never wanted to know about Taylor Caldwell, and there's even an Appreciation Society. I'm trying to maintain my aforementioned gentle, whimsical melancholy, but it's not an emotion that easily survives an onslaught of cold, hard facts.) [Noisy Decent Graphics]
