Colossal Gospel - ‘Bloody Boat’
A duo that manage to sound like an entire chorus choir, Colossal Gospel are Stephen Weibelt and Chris Johnson, just a couple of southern folkies - Leeds, Alabama to be exact.
As they harmonise on ‘Bloody Boat’, their chorals rattle and echo against a roll of steely guitar, swelling with reverberation. “Though you do not speak, I know you are with me”, they quiver on the chilling bonfire song - a real raw, Gothic Americana tune.
The track is off their debut album called Circles - out now on Autumn Tone.

Between 8,000 and 10,000 people crossed into Tunisia on Wednesday, Adrian Edwards, spokesman from the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees told AFP, noting that most of those new arrivals are Bangladeshis. The UNHCR had launched an joint urgent appeal with the International Organization for Migration late Tuesday for a mass evacuation at the Tunisia-Libya border.

Greatest Generation: Screen Junkies' Top 10 WWII Movies
ScreenJunkies.com has released their Top 10 list of World War II movies. In principle I agree with the list if not the exact order. I thought The Thin Red Line, A Bridge Too Far, and The Guns of Navarone should have been in the mix, but this is a truly classic set of films.

Paris Review - The Art of Fiction No. 69, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
INTERVIEWER Do you think the novel can do certain things that journalism can’t? GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ Nothing. I don’t think there is any difference. The sources are the same, the material is the same, the resources and the language are the same. The Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe is a great novel and Hiroshima is a great work of journalism.
