Hey, that's an awesome excerpt, Cor. Looking forward to the book.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?
'Objects In Space'
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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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.

move out and draw fire
anyone heard the latest from the Marseille Figs?
Yep, it's pretty fun. Also good is the new Corb Lund, "Horse Soldier."
Funnily enough, on the first listen, I was all "This sounds like Stan Rogers. Think he's doing a Stan Rogers tribute?" My DH agreed. Then came a song to the exact melody of "Idiot" by Rogers.
Turns out our boy Corb unintentionally plagerized Rogers. Guess it's all worked out now...but I'm feeling awfully Canadian.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ain't nuthin' wrong with that. And I love HS!HS!. It's quite lovely.
