Industrial Decay

"Back in the day" I used to listen to a lot of industrial & goth stuff, hung out at Orpheus with all the cool kids that liked to wear black and all. For some reason I decided to revisit some of that stuff today, and made up a little mix. Eh, it's ok -- but it takes me back.

Listen at your peril.

w00t, thre r bookz

  • Haunted - Chuck Palahniuk - By the author of Fight Club. Read it; but not while you're eating bacon.
  • Anansi Boys - Neil Gaiman - A good follow-on to American Gods. I don't think it had the same presense as it's predicessor, but the fantastic idea of "gods" living among us, singing Karoke, and pickin' up our womenz is quite exciting. Explains all my breakups -- must have been taken away by gods -- I mean, how can I compete.
  • Wicked - Gregoy Maguire - This book rules. Honestly, I can't see it being a musical -- more like a Lord of the Rings-style epic. Good stuff.

"Nature Girl"

Just finished reading Carl Hiassen's "Nature Girl". You'd figure with all the books of his I've read, I'd tire of his amazing wit and creativity... ;) Good read. Highly recommend.
