Hey look at that! They're running an excerpt from Corwood's Richard Thompson book at the 33 1/3 blogspot.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?
'The Girl in Question'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Thanks, Liese! I'm excited that the wheels are in motion.
Incidentally, I ordered David's book a while back, too, along with the Eno book. We haven't heard from them about shipping yet. I'm afraid they're going to try to bundle those books, and I don't know when the Eno book is coming out.

Is that ANOTHER GREEN WORLD, Corwood? I was debating ordering that one (and I actually need to order another copy of yours - the one I ordered is a present for someone) but I didn't recognize the name of the author.

Yeah, that's the one. I've heard of the author, but I can't remember reading anything she's written.
And please, order as many copies as you like! I hear they make lovely seat cozies, window decorations, pot holders, and doggie chew toys, as well as a fine gift for aging relatives. They also slice, dice, and turn ordinary steak into delicious beef jerky. Chapter 4 doubles as eveningwear, and the first appendix cures restless leg syndrome.

That sounds more like Hec's book to me.

Ha! That's true. In keeping with the themes of our subjects, his book is fun, and mine will destroy your relationship.

Yes, but if your erection persists for more than four hours, please see a physician immediately.
