Things to Hear, Things to Read
Had a lovely time chatting with Jim of Objectionable Content last night at the new residence of Megan of Asymmetrical Information. I was wearing my Corvids T-shirt and was surprised to learn that Jim hasn't yet checked out the new offering from Ken Layne and his merry men. Now don't get all scared off about the "country" tag their music gets because it's country in the way the Rolling Stones are country. So in case you, like Jim, still don't know what you've been missing, click over to Ken's site and have a listen - for free. And then if you have excellent musical taste, you'll probably want to buy a CD from him directly, or through Amazon, CDBaby or another places he links to from the site.

And while I'm plugging stuff I like, here's a book recommendation I was also pushing on Jim. I'm now on the second book of Jasper Fforde's "Thursday Next" series. Hilarious stuff. The first book is "The Eyre Affair" and I only picked it up because it was on the recommended shelf at Partners & Crime in the Village. It's kind of a cross of Douglas Adams, "Back to the Future" and maybe a bit of Luigi Pirandello." Lost in a Good Book" has just come out in paperback and his newest was just released. He's been in NYC this week touring the book shops, but I've missed him thus far.
