13 Books Meme
Thanks for the tag @littlestsnicket! Tagging @major-trouble @samstree @zambonirider & @candybarrnerd to give me passive recs in the form of this meme.
What’s up readers?! How about a little show and tell? Answer these 13 questions, tag 13 lucky readers and if you’re feeling extra bookish add a shelfie! Let’s Go!
1) The Last book I read: I finished Poor Things by Alasdair Gray and My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones basically back-to-back 2) A book I recommend: The fact that As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann isn't WILDLY popular on tumblr with people who like fucked-up queer fiction is a shame 3) A book that I couldn’t put down: Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica 4) A book I’ve read twice (or more): Fall on Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald 5) A book on my TBR: Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers by Jude Ellison S. Doyle 6) A book I’ve put down: Wintering by Katherine May 7) A book on my wish list: I'd love to start collecting volumes of Killing Stalking by Koogi 8) A favorite book from childhood: Any and all Animorph books 9) A book you would give to a friend: The Song of Achilles (of course) 10) A book of poetry or lyrics that you own: Crush by Richard Siken (of course of course) 11) A nonfiction book you own: The Poisoner's Handbook by Deborah Blum 12) What are you currently reading: Nothing! I went two whole weeks without a book. 13) What are you planning on reading next? I just picked up Grey Dog by Elliott Gish from the library. I don't remember why I put it on hold but I'll find out!

Happy Brexmas
What is there to say, really?
Visualising Brexit has kept us very busy at the Institute for Government this week - see all of the links below (and a useful summary from Aron, here). Though it did lead to us being called 'the Marina Hyde of charts' - thanks Alex!
One slender silver lining of Events This Week is being able to compare how we and various news outlets approached the same data and similar stories in different ways, with visualisations developing through the course of the week (the course of an evening in some cases) and different visualisations emphasising different stories.
So busy has it been this week that I haven't quite got around to posting a small sporting data side project (don't tell the government datasets, they'll get jealous). I'm sure next week will be quieter. (Ahem.)
And a reminder that the IfG is hosting the first in a series of monthly meet-ups on exciting data projects next Wednesday - join us in person or via livestream to hear more from the ONS Data Science Campus, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, Ofgem and Vocalink on what they've been doing with data.

As The xx gear up to tour their new album, I See You, Oliver Sim reflects on a new version of himself
Tumblr media
It was during The xx’s residency at New York’s Park Avenue Armory in March 2014 that Oliver Sim found out what stardom really looks like. “Those shows were crazy,” he says of their 25 performances at the former military headquarters on the Upper East Side. “The response we got, the people who came, the whole experience was mind-blowing.” Each night - at an event more like an art installation than a gig - the band performed encircled by an audience of just 40 people, who watched them play in complete silence. On the last night, A-list attendees included Jay Z, Beyoncè, Björk, Anohni and filmmakers Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach. “Throughout the show I was facing (co-vocalist) Romy, and Madonna was standing directly behind her,” he says, reliving the moment. “Every time my gaze went up an inch, I was staring straight at her. It was surreal.”
Recognition and the sense of worth it brings is a central theme of The xx’s stunning new album, I See You. Recorded in Texas, New York, Los Angeles and Reykjavik as well as London, it sees this extravagantly talented South London trio - Sim, co-vocalist/guitarist Romy Madley-Croft and programmer Jamie Smith  - fully embracing their role as global players. “We wanted songs we could sing out,” says Sim, acknowledging the gaivanising effect Smith’s solo success with the rave-centric In Colour as Jamie xx had on the band. “We feel a lot more confident now. We want people to connect with the music and with us as people.”
While its predecessors - 2009′s xx and 2012′s Coexist - only contained arrangements the band could reproduce live, I See You is full of sonic surprises. From brassy opener Dangerous and the Hall & Oates sampling On Hold to the spooked space-gospel of Test Me, it nods to club culture while maintaining their trademark emotional intensity. As we’ll discover, however, for pop’s premier wallflowers learning to look the world in the eye hasn’t been easy.
London Fields, 3 January 2017, and the sky is the colour of flooded ashtray. It’s the first day back at work after the holidays, and a chance to catch up on the events of the last fortnight. Like the rest of the music community, Sim is still reeling from the death of George Michael on Christmas Day. For The xx, the star’s music holds a special significance. When Sim and Madley-Croft started making music as naïve 14-year-olds at the music-focused Elliott School in Putney, an early staple of their set was a cover of Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. “I’m a huge fan, we did it because that song is fun,” he says. “It was easier in the beginning to take ourselves not too seriously.” You sense that Michael must have loved The xx. With its minimalist beats and murmured vocals, their debut ushered in a new kind of suburban soul music: intimate, yet desolate. Sultry and seductive, the intertwining voices of Sim and Madley-Croft made the listener feel as though they were eavesdropping on private conversations as they quarrelled, confessed and made up. Yet  the simmering sexual tension was illusory - both, like Michael, are gay.
Winner of the Mercury Prize and one of only three gold-certified debuts by a British band in the last decade - along with Mumford & Sons, and One Direction - The xx’s stripped-bare sound quickly became a byword for understated cool. Sampled by Rihanna for Drunk on Love, covered by Shakira and an atmospheric staple of TV (CSI, Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl), their ability to express complex emotions in a simple way was summed up by Kanye West after one of the armory shows. “He told us that our music reminded him of Steve Jobs, who’d taken something as big as the computer and put it into a cell phone,” says Sim with a grin. “Was he right? It’s not really for me to say, is it?”

Oliver Sim, 26, has the languid delivery of a late-night radio DJ and the dashing good looks of a 40s matinèe idol. Scrupulously polite, he exudes a warmth rarely found in pop stars. He’s also immaculately dressed. Today his 6ft 2in frame comes swathed in black turtleneck, trousers and boots, all by Ann Demeulemeester, giving the impression that he’s arrived off the catwalk rather than from his East London flat, ten minutes away. He modelled for Dior Homme last year, and is passionate about the relationship between fashion and music. “I think they can feed into each other so much,” he says, citing the example of gender-fluid Venezuelan producer Arca as someone willing to push the sartorial boundaries. “One of my favourite movies is Depeche Mode 101. Seeing these English musicians walking around small-town America in fetish gear - it’s such a bold image.”
A teenage fan of James Dean - “I liked the Hollywood rumours about him; the love affairs with men, that he was a masochist” - Sim’s firs pop-star crush was Chris Isaak. “I remember seeing the video for Wicked Game and thinking, ‘Now that is a cool man,’“ he recalls. “I had the same feeling when I saw Josh Homme. They made me excited, made me think, ‘That’s how I want to be.’“
Equally inspired by the look of 90s R’n’B artists The fugees, D’Angelo and En Vogue - “I’ve never seen wearing black as a goth thing, to me it’s chic” - his own signature look is central to The xx’s carefully cultivated image. “The xx do simple things very well,” explains Imogen Snell, creative consultant at label Young Turks. “They’re consistent and there’s a wonderful confidence to that. Oliver personally has a wide appeal. He’s confident, charming and beautiful, but also has a wonderful gentle sensitivity - as well as being incredibly down to earth and kind.” If Sim appears to have been born with impeccable taste, blame his parents. Raised in a council flat in South London by his mum (a social worker) and father (a charity administrator), he was encouraged to express himself from an early age. His dad - a fan of Talking Heads - brought him his first bass, while his mum took him to his first gig, The White Stripes at Brixton Academy.
Friends with Madley-Croft since nursery school - their parents were close - it was natural for the pair to play music together. Both cripplingly shy, they would initially exchange song ideas by email, with no ambition, at least on Sim’s part, to take it any further. “I left school thinking I wanted to be a nomad,” he says, almost wistfully. “Free-floating. Of course things didn’t work out like that.”
Signed by record label XL at 17, The xx were internationally famous while still teenagers. “We had no idea what was going on. We were thrown into it,” he says, recalling a rabbit-in-the-headlights showcase at New York’s CMJ in October 2009, reviewed by Pitchfork with the words: “Their live presence is not exactly dynamic.”
“We were promoting the album and we just didn’t have the answers,” he remembers. “Where does the simplicity come from? Where does the space come from? The truth was that those things happened through mistakes, who we are as people, and our own limitations.”
When The xx’s global touring commitments finally came to a close in 2014, Sim suddenly found himself at a loose end. “It was the most anti-climactic feeling,” he says, running his fingers through his hair. “We’d been on the road for so long with a tour manager looking after us and telling us where to go and suddenly I didn’t have that.” With Madley-Croft temporarily relocating to Los Angeles and Smith promoting In Colour worldwide, Sim filled the void by plunging headlong into the capital’s nightlife. “I wanted to celebrate being back in London - get a bit of life in me,” he says, choosing his words carefully. “I wouldn’t change it, but it wasn’t necessarily successful. I learned that I need something: not a routine, but a structure. Being idle is not my friend. I did a lot of regrettable things...” This self-destructive side of his personality reveals itself on I See You. “Am I too needy, am I too eager?” he sings in Say Something Loving, while the spectral Replica hints at an uncomfortable reconciliation. “Twenty-five and you’re just like me,” he sighs. “Is it in my nature to be stuck on repeat?”
While he doesn’t go into details, it took private interventions from his band mates to make him seek help. He’s been off alcohol for a year. “I’m in the programme,” he says, referring to the 12-steps of the AA. “I go to meetings. It’s fine. But I’m still figuring out how to celebrate.”
Spending an hour with the sparky, energised Sim, it’s clear sobriety suits him. He enthuses about Duncan Macmillan’s 2016 play about addictive urges, People, Places and Things and cites Trumbo - about blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo - as the last film he saw; his New Year’s resolution, he says, is to “read more”. Being clean has also brought some unexpected bonuses. When The xx played across Europe in December, it was the first time he’d played live without having had a drink. “Booze took away a lot of nerves but it also dampened the highs,” he explains. “I’m not sure if it’s a spiritual thing, but when I’m up there it’s really intense. The connection with the audience is the strongest thrill there is.”
It’s time to go but there’s one last thing. Rather than play arenas in support of I See You, Sim explains they’re deliberately playing smaller, more intimate venues, including a record-breaking seven-night run at Brixton Academy. For Sim these shows will have a special significance. “I can still remember staring Jack White in the face,” he says, recalling the thrill of seeing The White Stripes there at 14. “Those are the nights you don’t forget. The album title is a message to the fans, saying that we can definitely spot them when we’re on stage.”
For Oliver Sim - songwriter, musician, model, A-list magnet and all-round pop visionary - it’s all about recognition. He says goodbye, offers a firm handshake, and strides away down the corridor. He’s got people to see.

TrueCar "Jesse" Director - Moth from Hornet on Vimeo.
TrueCar, one of America's biggest digital automotive marketplaces, came to Hornet and Moth to create a series of films that would highlight the functionality of the TrueCar product with warmth and humanity. Moth responded with a series of films focusing on four leading characters, each of which paints a compact but illuminating story that shows how the tailored experience of TrueCar fits each of them seamlessly.

A couple of reviews of The Fiery Margin:
Mike Elliott for Americana UK
unnamed writer for Disco Club Parma (in Italian)
This podcast by William Dart of Radio New Zealand takes the less well-trodden path through Alasdair’s career. Dart has listened very carefully, and anyone who cares about Alasdair’s music will find new ideas and perspectives. Well worth 28 minutes of your time.

Mikeldi Atxalandabaso, Christopher Maltmann, Alasdair Elliott, Mario Luperi i Martin Mitterrutzner
Bryn Terfel
Laura Polverelli, Barbara Frittoli, Laura Giordani i Judit Kutasi
Daniel Harding
Torna Falstaff a IFL, una de les òperes recurrents, com també ho són del catàleg verdià, Otello, Don Carlo, I Vespri Sicilianni o òbviament la trilogia popular, tret que aquestes tres en ser molt més programades no són tan necessàries per a la meva subsistència.
La versió que avui ens ocupa està signada per un dels grans directors del moment, l’anglès Daniel Harding al capdavant de la luxosa orquestra de la Radio Bavaresa i un equip de cantants, sinó indiscutibles, si de nivell per oferir una versió d’equip perfectament equilibrada i on tos funcionen, malgrat el desgast de Terfel, que el supleix amb la seva proverbial actuació escènica, tot i que la versió és concertant tot i que jo m’estimaria més dir sense escenografia, perquè hi ha tot un  simple però efectiu moviment escènic al darrera, al davant i per els laterals del hemicicle de la sala Philharmonie im Gasteig de Munich.
Terfel pateix, no tenia el millor dels dies, emetent notes fixades o aguts calats o curts, també mostra un esgotament vocal que fa oscil·lar la veu quan ha d’emetre notes sostingudes, tot plegat en un altre cantant seria motiu de preocupació però en el seu cas,, sap com revestir les carències o absències de teatralitat envoltant una creació dramàtica d’alt nivell interpretatiu i de sàvia experiència. El seu Falstaff funciona encara molt bé i continua sent l’absolut centre de tota la representació. El baix-baríton gal·lès és un dels grans Falstaff que es recorden i només veient l’actuació escènica en una producció on no et distreu cap parafernàlia escènica o genialitat d’una producció escènica del divo de torn, encara té més mèrit.
Un magnífic Ford de Christopher Maltmann, el Fenton massa lleuger (pel meu gust) de sonoritats nasals i afectades de Martin Mitterrutzner (per què no ho canta un tenor líric jove i  sempre acaba sent un líric lleuger?), uns espaterrants Pistola i Bardolfo de Mario Luperi i Alasdair Elliott, al costat d’un eficaç Dr Cajus de Martin Mitterrutzner, conformen un equip masculí solidíssim i eficaç.
Les senyores no es queden enrere ja que Barbara Frittoli és una Alice consolidada, segura i que també dribla amb eficàcia els paranys d’una part de lírica ample. Laura Giordano fa alguna altra cosa que Nannetta a la seva carrera?. Ho fa bé, sense més perquè el timbre no l’ajuda gens a ser etèria. Magnífica la Quickly de la mezzosoprano romanesa Judit Kutasi i especialment lloable Laura Polverelli, una de les poques Meg audibles que recordo.
Tot perfectament engreixat que funciona com una perfecta maquinària de rellotgeria gràcies a l’experta i creativa direcció de Daniel Harding, plena de detalls que brillen amb fulgurants llampecs orquestrals de qualitat suprema. Un tempo viu, enèrgic i explosiu que dóna un sentit dramàtic molt teatral i una especial cura en la qualitat sonora d’una orquestra estratosfèrica, fan que la festa sigui festassa i estic segur que el mateix equip amb un altre director d’aquests que només llegeixen bé, no hagués obtingut aquest magnífic resultat.
Per els que encara creuen que en una òpera el director musical no té tanta importància com molts defensem, aquesta és una demostració exemplar.
Gaudiu-la

Demà us parlaré del Lohengrin a La Bastille, un dels esdeveniments de l’any, sense cap mena de dubte el que inaugura el desè aniversari de IFL i que aquí no podia quedar sense celebració.
FALSTAFF A MUNICH (Terfel-Maltman-Mitterrutzner-Frittoli-Giordano-Kutasi:SBR-Harding) Torna Falstaff a IFL, una de les òperes recurrents, com també ho són del catàleg verdià, Otello, Don Carlo, I Vespri Sicilianni o òbviament la trilogia popular, tret que aquestes tres en ser molt més programades no són tan necessàries per a la meva subsistència.
