I'll check out the short stories.BDRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06557941385560728052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-2631297991380672872012-12-12T09:25:56.141-05:002012-12-12T09:25:56.141-05:00Have you read any Calvino?

She's light years heavier pushing 50 than she was as a wee lass. <br /><br />Couldn't get into Mieville either, I tried that one and one of the others, it just didn't do it for me. <br /><br />I got stuck watching a Yes cover band on a date last weekend and while I dig 'Fragile,' I don't know if I can listen to 2 hours of keyboard wankery and falsetto for another few years. <br /><br />that Quietus review you excerpted is priceless. <br /><br />Prunella Vulgarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406854591968722235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-865086165189209472012-12-11T10:36:46.971-05:002012-12-11T10:36:46.971-05:00Oops, meant to close a different one.

Okay, everyone in every genre posts a top 30, 40, 50. Am I the only person who somehow wanders inside a dozen albums (at most) and then just hangs there? Do people really spend quality time with 50-75 hours worth of new music especially since plenty of folks can't listen to tunes at work? Yeah, 68% rhetorical.<br /><br />Damn your occasionally closed commentary boxes.<br />Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020960402708303830.post-8600318229194261192012-12-11T10:15:55.323-05:002012-12-11T10:15:55.323-05:00Best header ever.
