Help! I just returned from Canada and I’ve been clubbed by a baton!
Music Meme
1. The person who passed the baton to you? Jennifer Drake Thorton.
2. Total volume of music files on your computer:
Something over 800. Most by weird bands you can’t find on CD anywhere.
3. The title and artist of the last CD you bought:
“Martha Wainwright”, Martha Wainwright. Best song on there: Bloody Mother F**king A**hole. Seriously.
4. Song playing at the moment of writing:
“The World at Large”, Modest Mouse. Strangely soothing.
Has everyone been tapped? If you want to be batoned, speak up!
Reading Victoria Chang’s book Circle. Good stuff, some of the poems are so fierce yet understated…I want to do that! Got to go up to Whistler for the weekend, it was 97 degrees and yet I still got to have a snowball fight at the top of the mountain on the glacier. Sweeeet. Then home to four rejections. Not so sweet. But a stack of good reading material awaits…the new APR, Calyx, Another Chicago Magazine…
