Listening:
1. Skew: This NYC producer just release his debut ep, Stadiums Are Ok Too, for free on his website. His full-length album is currently being mastered, and will be out in September. His tracks are a complex mixture of hip hop and electronic dance music. It is all very appealing.
2. Deep Science: This Seattle-band is preparing to release of their third album Villainairal. Listen to: Throne of Blood (The Jump Off) (mp3)
3. Farino: This UK guitar duo are about to give Rodrigo Y Gabriella a run for their money!
Reading:
1. Like King Kong by Cora C. Pyles: A very short look at the very long path that is life.
2. What Day is Sunday by Lauren Pretnar: A touching family tale, the innocence and warmth of a child.
3. To Be Read in Some Place That Doesn’t Exist by Patrick Howell O’Neill: I enjoy the way he tells you where you should be reading this story.
4. Land Use Planning by Lightsey Darst: I like this piece, but I am more interested in the larger work this is taken from. ""Land use planning" comes from a larger sequence called Dance, which will work something like a book of horoscopes when completed. (I'm hoping for a spinner on the cover.) The two tags at the bottom are a newspaper headline and a type of prophecy (borrowed from Paul Dickson's book Words). As for the poem itself, I can only say that my mother is a botanist and my father is a planner for the state of Florida."
5. Klein's Latrell by C. Robin Madigan: Guns, violence, a preacher's son... this one has it all!
6. Fistful by Elizabeth Ellen: Tragic and violent... I couldn't stop reading!
7. Another RC Flyer Off Course by Arlene Ang:
Wishing:
