Agaetis, () and Takk are a really good run of albums! I’ve been less interested in them since which maybe isn’t fair.

I’ll check it out. I ventured into Mogwai a bit over the past couple of days which is a departure from the aforementioned mum album as well. Hunting for synths :)

They may attempt that route but I suspect it would have a negative impact for the GOP. I feel it would stir up a hornets nest and increase the student vote.

I loved his dearly premonition lp, will have to check out illbleed :) Thanks for the tip.

Just picked up the earthsea books (with pictures!) by Le Guin and am having a blast diving back in. I hadn’t read this in a long time, having a great time.

I’ll 2nd this. It’s one of my favorite albums.

I am 3/4 with the books you mentioned so you appear to be a kindred spirit. Haven’t read Iain M Banks.

I’ll be interested to hear what you think on how Deadhouse Gates comes together. Have fun!

Killing Comendatore by Murakami. It’s late here and I always like reading his stuff at night.
