Bought at the drug store, very cheap; and later pawned.' -Kenneth Fearing, Green Light (1929). Sunday, 2 August 2015. What i read in July. You were bittersweet, and for a while in that first week you seduced me into thinking that I didn't like reading. You'll notice i only read very short books for a while. Short books are best anyway, aren't they you hussies. The Mahe Circle by Georges Simenon. Black Leather Barbarians by Pat Stadley. Happy Endings Are All Alike by Sandra Scoppettone. This reissue (orig...

http://atthegreenlight.blogspot.com/2015/05/what-ive-been-listening-too.html
Bought at the drug store, very cheap; and later pawned.' -Kenneth Fearing, Green Light (1929). Sunday, 10 May 2015. What I've been listening to. Carrie and Lowell by Sufjan Stevens (2015). I've got total faith in Sufjan. Illinoise. Is one of the great albums of the last few decades and despite not loving his last couple of albums the guy's a wizard, we should just let him do his hocus. Carrie and Lowell. Blood Rushing by Josephine Foster (2012). This is from the album Blood Rushing. And All or Nothin'.

Bought at the drug store, very cheap; and later pawned.' -Kenneth Fearing, Green Light (1929). Tuesday, 24 March 2015. Down In L.A. by Brewer and Shipley. Down In L.A. A young girl sleeps. And her dreams are laced with silver. First off, sweet genius that's a magnificent cover isn't it.Mmm green and yellow.I really love this album. This is the sound of the West Coast in that great transitional year of 1968. Things haven't gotten too rural yet (these dudes probably had moustaches not. Captures that moment...

Green Light: August 2015
http://atthegreenlight.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Bought at the drug store, very cheap; and later pawned.' -Kenneth Fearing, Green Light (1929). Monday, 31 August 2015. What i read in August. What did you read in August? Well friend, thanks for asking. Let me see now. Syzygy by Michael G. Coney. Got this second-hand from Troutmark, it sounded promising and i was attracted by that alluring sperm-esque front cover. Aside from one inexplicably homophobic passage, it was an enjoyably dour 70's slice of fishy sci-fi. The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg.

Green Light: June 2015
http://atthegreenlight.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Bought at the drug store, very cheap; and later pawned.' -Kenneth Fearing, Green Light (1929). Monday, 15 June 2015. Songs by Paul Parrish. Paul Parrish is one of those singers who maybe did too few albums, didn't have enough mystique and maybe just got unlucky and has been scattered in the wind ever since. Until recently, cos they've finally put some of his early stuff out on cd, and it is GREAT. His first album The Forest Of My Mind. And I Once Had A Dog,. All sung completely earnestly, so you might wa...

Bought at the drug store, very cheap; and later pawned.' -Kenneth Fearing, Green Light (1929). Saturday, 4 July 2015. What i read in June. June was an excellent reading month! Sian and i both had birthdays and bought each other a bunch of books, and we also had some time off work, so not even The Man could interfere with our book-guzzling. Oh, and the sun came out and that was nice too, and everything's peachy. Here's what i read. It Always Rains On Sunday by Arthur La Bern (1945). I really loved this...

And now that i look back at what i read i'm like huh, weird. Tucker by Louis L'amour. If you like westerns, you've probably read some L'amour. This is a particularly good L'amour. Lust Queen by Don Elliott. Agostino by Alberto Moravia. Uber-Fruedian 1940's Italian coming-of-age. Serious. Not bad. Dept of Speculation by Jenny Offill. Wichit...

Bought at the drug store, very cheap; and later pawned.' -Kenneth Fearing, Green Light (1929). Thursday, 13 August 2015. What i've been listening to. Joanna Newsom has a new album coming out this year so therefore this year is a special year and something magical is about to happen. And this lovely song. It feels like it's been around forever doesn't it, like it's someone we knew once and have forgotten and we can listen to it and just say hello, i've missed you. Paul Revere and The Raiders. Demos, from ...
