littleblakebook: Because Too Much Choice is a Good Thing, Right?

The Sound of Young Omaha

She Left Me for Jesus
Hayes Carll: Trouble in Mind
I wish I had written this
To Make You Feel My Love
Adele: 19
She wants to be American, black, and 40 years ago, but she's great.
Lights Out
Santogold: Santogold
MIA in Brooklyn
Sing
Glen Campbell: Meet Glen Campbell
Not bad for a 70-year-old. He has atoned for the variety show and done a fantastic album of covers.
Constructive Summer
The Hold Steady: Stay Positive
Summer will end in rocking.
Kool Thing
Sonic Youth: Goo
We relive New York in the 90's. Never too early to start teaching the kids about Sonic Youth.

Because Too Much Choice is a Good Thing, Right?

Just wanted to publish a link to my mobile me photo site. It's a Mac thing and I'm trying to figure it out. I haven't published much. I'll probably still post to Flickr, and here. I'm behind on photos, I know, but I'm working on it.

Hello China,

I am a fan of your brother Joe. No surprise hey!
I just want to thank you for allowing fans of his access to this site. It is now becoming a favorite of mine just for the site itself . I just wish I had your talent to but this altogether. Nice viewing for all family members forever.

Just a side comment. I have met Joe a few times through SGA events and wanted to tell your family that he is a very nice and friendly man. You can tell the way he talks about his family that you are all very close. When he has talked about his mother and wife Katherine it is very obvious how much he loves them. I asked him a question at a con once on what influence his father and mother had on this life. He told us a few stories about your father and you could tell he loved and respected the man very much. Your family seems very close and I realize that keeping families together takes an effort on everyone's part.

Hopefully you will continue to allow public access to this site. Your brother has many, many fans out there and since the show is now cancelled and he seems to be a very private person, we feel we will loose contact with him.
We are hoping that he will open a site that he can tell fans what he is up to and where he will be appearing next. Oneliners is fine, no need for back and forth dialogue. You never know, it might happen.

Anyways, thank you and hope 2009 is good to you and your family.

Kathie Carr.

What We're Reading

McSweeney's: The McSweeney's Joke Book of Book Jokes (Vintage)
All I know is that we read a poem entitled "Diarrhoea." This is the long loved fave by the school aged crew. You'll remember it, trust me. This has a verse saying "When you're reading some Voltaire, and you feel a little tear..." That's all I can say.
Claire Messud: The Emperor's Children
The Secret History, 10 years later. Does a great job of capturing the angst of the status-consciousness and overeducated. Tom Wolfe for chicks. (****)
Michael Pollan: The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
Just fantastic. Not preachy, but I learned a ton. Food Science, economics, botany, cultural history... Very highly recommended. (*****)
Mark Kriegel: Namath: A Biography
An American tragedy. The fame to performance ratio was way out of whack. You don't know whether to be disgusted or compassionate. (***)
Laurence Gonzales: Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why
Wow> Great, scary stuff about life-threatening situations and who survives. Just the thing for when you're stranded in a lifeboat. Lessons abound. (*****)
Jessica Livingston: Founders at Work: Stories of Startups' Early Days
Absolutely fantastic oral history of startup companies. Something to steal on every page. (*****)
Cormac McCarthy: No Country for Old Men
Bleak. Great. (*****)
Philippa Gregory: The Other Boleyn Girl
Phillipa Gregory is said to write Bodice Rippers. A term I enjoy. This is a total page turner. It's about Anne and her sister, Mary, Boleyn. Great historical fiction. Racy. Good writing. You'll love it. (*****)
Simon Reynolds: Rip it Up and Start Again
Magnificent history of post-punk music, from PiL to Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Everything you ever wanted to know about the B-52s, Talking Heads, and everything else good about the 1980's
Howie Carr: The Brothers Bulger
Shakespeare comes to Southie. Great look at how venal, corrupt, and self-important the wonderful world of municipal politics can be. Two loathsome guys. Imagine if Tony Soprano were the Mayor's brother. Hideous, but you can't look away.
