On Sunday afternoon we’ll play a short living room show chez Nilo, who’s not only our beloved drummer boy, but also a gifted songsmith and an incredibly charismatic host.

Last weekend, I saw Superfreakonomics on display all over town. And I hadn’t even read Freakonomics. Well, today I have, and yes I will be buying my copy of Superfreakonomics this weekend. Even though both titles are pretty lame and the artwork is the ugliest I’ve seen since (…thinks…) well there’s a lot of awful artwork.

I like freakonomics because it’s fast and entertaining, and that’s exactly what I wanted at the time (these last few days). Now I know why abortion is good and voting is bad. I also know not to trust findings of sociologists that seem plausible. I need to trust data.

So yes thank you Freakonomics, now I dislike economics a little bit less. (I was expelled from my high school thanks to my economics teacher.)

Apparently only Canadians know Alice Munro though I’m guessing this has changed since she won the 2009 Man Booker Prize. So I decided to give her a try, though not her latest ‘Too much love’ because it’s still hardcover only (and I’m a paperback fan) and although I’m a bit fed up with short stories. And guess what, even the introduction by Jonathan Franzen is good! The stories are simple: good girl meets bad boy = parents don’t like it, but it delivers, food for thought. That’s exactly what I like in a short story: not too much story, but lots of emotion (just like Ali Smith, I really need to blog about her!)

A people you may know is not only a blog. It’s also a band and this is what we look like.
