I missed it by one day (oh dear!) but Happy 50th Birthday, Mr Neil Finn, soundtracker to the Ms Bookish life for a very, very long time.
Three youtube links:
+ Crowded House: Don’t Dream It’s Over

Karie Bookish
Karie is a published writer, keen photographer and vastly over-educated. She lives in Glasgow, Scotland with her partner, David, after having spent (far too many?) years in her native Denmark.
Her interests include: print culture, modernist poetry, typography, and collecting early 20th C paperbacks + signed first editions of Alasdair Gray hardbacks. She also likes the Eurovision Song Contest, 1940s and 1950s Hollywood musicals, puppies and crocheting hats.
Fourth Edition is Karie's fourth weblog. She has been blogging since 2001 and has no intention of stopping.
