The twisted genius of Brad Neely
Tonight, Quiet Company have a photo shoot with my lovely bride at The Cathedral Of Junk.
We're going to wear suits and hopefully not look awkward so stay tuned for that.
We've also got a couple of shows this week. Thursday we're playing in Bryan, TX and Friday we're in Dallas. Check the page for details.
Started two new books that I got at the library the other day and enjoying both of them. The first is My Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, which is a sequel of sorts to Ishmael. I think the idea is just to further flesh out the concepts in Ishmael, just like he does in The Story of B which is another novel connected to Ishmael.
The second book is Mark Twain's Helpful Hints for Good Living - A Handbook for the Damned Human Race by Mark Twain. Its an endearing collection of short essays, letters, and anecdotes from the author about his wife, children, and daily life. I always knew Vonnegut loved Twain so now its really interesting to see the tangible influence that Twain's writing had on Vonnegut. Whenever I read this book, the voice in my head is that of Foghorn Leghorn, incidentally.
Does anyone have any questions?
That's funny! I had "Cat People" by Brad Neely stuck in my head yesterday. I couldn't stop singing it! Have you seen the documentary We Are Wizards?
ReplyDeleteQuestions... hmm...
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if musicians listen to their own music, or if they find it creepy/can't listen to it without thinking about ways to have done it differently. So... do you listen to your own music?
Are you guys going to crash at our house this weekend? You are welcome to. Love you and miss you.
