• Read: The Partial Repoter [link]

A new blog focussing on the media industry and Northern Irish politics. It’s new, so it doesn’t have many posts, but I have high hopes :)

• Listen: Laura Marling, Alas I Cannot Swim [iTunes]

I first got this album about a year after seeing her perform some of her song on Jools Holland. I’ll admit, the first few listens, I wasn’t so keen on it, but after a while I fell in love with it. The lyrics in the album are amazing, and the stand-out track for me is “Ghosts” (It turned out I’d been following him, and he’d been following me).

• Watch: Paris, Je T’aime [IMDB]

This film is a collection of 18 short five minute films about love, each concentrating on a different area of Paris. A captivating, and thoroughly enjoyable film. My favorite segment is the one starring Juliette Binoche about how she deals with the loss of her child.
