Natasha Hamilton/Soho Dolls/Haruki Murakami

Natasha Hamilton



Two princes for the price of one today, firstly:

Natasha of Atomic Kitten fame recently stepped on Kate Middelton's toes at the Princes Trust Charity Concert by seemingly trying to slip the future king of England the tongue. "He has a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend," she explained, "it's just an unfortunate picture, I'm so embarrassed by it" explained Natasha.
Natasha, who has two kids now, has rather unfortunately disappeared of the face of the earth other than appearing in the odd heat magazine and some road traffic safety awareness adverts . I guess its only a matter of time before she follows suit and appears on 'celebrity love island' too though.

Soho Dolls



Secondly:

Prince Harry, you know, the other one who has no hope of ever being King so he just partys. Like a young Prince Andrew really. Anyway 'Prince Harry' is also a perfect slice of electro pop sleaze from the band Soho Dolls, that rings out like a stalker's calling card. Check out their website here

Haruki Murakami - Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman





25 stories written over 30 years by the outstanding master of the surreal Haruki Murakami, and this his third volume of collected short stories doesn't disappoint. Who else could write a story purely about vomiting, "Nausea 1979" and yet infuse it with such beauty and meandering wonderment.
Each story is prefaced with an introduction by the author and his quirkiness is evident throughout the book, If you haven't read Murakami before this looks like a wonderful place to start, you'll delight in becoming immersed in the fleeting yet mesmerising characters he creates. If you have read his work before you won't be disappointed either.
