MODERNGRUMBLE: A CROWDFUNDING JOURNEY: 13 DAYS LEFT

by MODERNGRUMBLE

In keeping with yesterdays post regarding inspiration I thought I would make a somewhat exhaustive list of the books, music and films that have influenced Moderngrumble. The books and movies are influences in that after writing Moderngrumble and reading over it, I see the obvious links between scenes and set pieces in the film and those in the books and films listed. The music however served as inspiration at the time of the writing as these were the records spinning on my turntable most often during that time.
