Spilt wax, intricate drawings and etched copper plates; what started as an evening spent drawing by candlelight led to the album artwork for In Rainbows.

#AmReading High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, mostly because as a lover of music-related writing I felt I should. 40% in and the deeply unsympathetic main character Rob is not really inspiring me to hope for a turnaround for this whiny man-baby. app.thestorygraph.com/books/1bfe41...

I just watched Event Horizon for the first time. I can’t believe how bad this movie is. I mean, I literally can’t believe it. I can usually find some redeeming quality in most films, but not this pool of mashup drivel. Avoid at all costs. Just wow. boxd.it/20d8 #filmsky #moviesky
