Brr
Damn, it's cold, and I'm way out of practice. -
January Emusic/NiN The Slip/Sacred Sea
I was a bit harsh to Everything That Happens Will Happen Today by David Byrne and Brian Eno. It's not mediocre; it's better than that. It's grown on me, and now that I don't hear "Strange Overtones" fifty times a day on the radio (that passed on to the horrid "Your Sex Is on Fire" song and now another Byrne-sung tune, "Toe Jam"), I'm able to ( Read more... ) -
15.I.1919: 90
Anniversaries demand attention, especially when beautiful 0s are present. Ohs being round and circular, infinite yet whole ( Read more... ) -
Dear Furnace, I Object to Your Objection or Keep Your Damned Indicator Light to Yourself
Hello, furnace. I like the way you click-vroom, then pump wonderful hot water through pipes and warm my cottage. And the office. Since, you know, you are supposed to do both, and we are equally dependent on your good graces ( Read more... ) -
"Leningrad"
W00t! "Leningrad" is online at Fantasy Magazine.
I suspect that I should post a Christmas/New Year's update, but I'm still recovering from all the driving and visiting and have to drag myself to work tomorrow. In other words, maybe later this week. Or maybe not.
Hope everyone's doing all right. -
Emusic and More
Haven't had a chance to listen to all of my Emusic so far this month, but I have checked out the Stars' Sad Robot EP a couple of times. It's an interesting mix of cold electronic with lively piano and strings. The first track on the EP is an ambient one, and I find that I lose myself within the layers of music when I listen. Thumbs up for ( Read more... ) -
Puppy Drum, Here I Come!
Writing music this week: The Fall, Fallout 3 (Sunday/Monday/Tuesday, thanks to MNP's obsession; I've never seen him play a game like this one. Hopefully, I will have time to play while on vacation next week. It's impossible to fit in with the schedule right now ( Read more... ) -
Chelovek and the Glorius Soundtrack
While writing this week, I've been grateful to Beirut for their splendid 2006 Gulag Orkestar album and particularly the cut, "Prenzlauerberg." I've just grabbed some Golem! (Fresh Off Boat) and The Ukrainians (self-titled,) which should satiate my desire for Eastern European/Gypsy flair. I'm also stoked since Emusic has (and now I have) Lou Reed' ( Read more... ) -
For I'm Not Sailing Just for Sport
Mr. William Wharton finally got it. Thanks and peace, man.

Voted. Was a quick, painless process. Nice, sleek touch screens.

"Convergence" is live at Three-Lobed Burning Eye. W00t. Still need to read the other stories in the issue, which might have to wait because of point the fourth.

I am nanoing. In a cheating way. Working on ( Read more... ) -
No One Wants to Hear about Your Ninety-Seventh Tear
The biggest solder gun in the world? Oh, no. Just a hot-hot-hot fucking fire. Big globs of re-cooled metal below wheels barely hanging on to the bare frame of a station wagon. I have never seen anything like it, nor smelled such nasty noxiousness ( Read more... )
