But Beautiful

geoff dyer's book has blown me away, i've been listening to nothing but jazz since i started/finished it. slightly panicky, though, cause there's so much to discover! i love pop, as well, i love the way it burns down it songs until there's nothing left of them. generosity! but where's good pop? and why are babyshambles a success? i can't bring myself to finish their record even once, and yet they're not only all over england, they took german media in a storm as well.
