Aint No Right

Through my high school lens, Joshua Tree was the album that introduced U2 to everyone else, and suddenly short little ponytails were everywhere at my high school.

Right-e-oh so today being Satan'sDay, I opened my gifts from my Secret_Satan and found some great stuff :-)))) As a non Secret Santa bonus but that is related to ANR.org, have a look at what my wife got me.... http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af72/nausearockpig/F4B8352E-5B4C-46F5-B30D-50F4CC1F96F...

Love Actually is irreverent enough that I enjoy watching it with my wife. It's very British.

I'm still kicking myself for not seeing him/them when they visited Seattle a few months ago. I'm not a huge Garbage fan, but I know enough of their songs that I would have enjoyed it--especially to see Eric on stage. At the time, I don't think I could find evidence that he was touring with them.

I've enjoyed the first season of Glitch on Netflix. Not quite a zombie show, but very much in the vein of The Returned (original French show). All that aside, I can't help but think the main actor, Patrick Brammal looks like a younger Eric Avery. I think he could play Eric when we get the Jane's Add...

Didn't know them when...I wasn't listening to hip hop, but my wife turned me onto them more recently. Listened to the new album in its entirety yesterday and was really impressed. Good stuff is an understatement.

Ditto. Saw it with the family a few weeks ago. Well worth it.

Best news for me was watching Diane (Kelly Macdonald) in the trailer. I knew Diane was back in the book, but didn’t know she was was back in the movie. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRhgRBaABm-XPgnjOr_D5k3LyJbLJB4l9l02riEYlR9b_BRDMIH3JdSk3X_ And she would still get it.

I can''t be the only one who gets a kick out of the "sterling spoon" reference being a not to subtle nod to shooting dope, right?

I enjoyed the first episode. Given how much exposition has to happen to orient the average view, I thought they did a good job. And the very last moment was perfectly executed. You know it can only get better from here. I never saw the original movie. I worked in a video store when I was 15, and it ...

Beware of some muricans too, especially with alcohol and firearms. I'd have a drink too, but that wouldn't end well.

Enjoy.

Congrats on your publishing co. and all the work you put into making it happen.

Thanks. I'd be happy to share a copy of the ebook, which I'm formatting right now--if you read ebooks. I should have it ready in the next few days.

Some chick was yelling in the background about it being a "cheap shot." I don't think so at all.

Not a fan of Danzig at all.

Nothing cheap about that shot.

Did I miss a thread for this? Wife and I loved this show. It was devastating. What's interesting about it is that novelist Richard Price was the writer for the show, and while I always struggled with his novels I think he does a lot to make this feel authentic. Authentic NYC--and there is a quality ...

Vintage shot of a neighborhood in Wales....very near Gabalfa, but not Gabalfa according to my dear old mum.

They sound good.

Very impressive you're seeking authors who fall outside the so-called mainstream and looking to give them a means to get their work out there. Are you sticking to a certain (non-fiction) genre such as social subjects or is it anything goes? Thanks, Panda. Not sticking to a particular genre. There w...

Bandit72 wrote:Excellent stuff. Is the photo of the terraced houses straight from the valleys? Reminds me of my Grammas house.

Nope. I believe this is a prison in California or Washington state. Not sure which one.

This is really great! No small task to pursue a dream, nice work. Did you do the book cover graphic design? It's very engaging. :tiphat: I didn't do the book cover design, or the image. That's courtesy of a group called Raw Love productions in Seattle who are working on a documentary on prison life...

Thank you all. And I've already received feedback about the website. I really appreciate that. I should have the book available in e-book form shortly also.

So, about two years ago I left a large publishing house to return to teaching, and developed an interest in starting my own press. Originally, I thought I'd publish my novel, or the work of friends like Ferlinghetti did with City Lights. In any case, a manuscript came my way, and it gave me a focus....

I think it has aged pretty well. "pretty well"!? :yikes: it's a timeless masterpiece another example of how "not bad" can mean "very good" :) :thumb: Truth is, when I first heard it I was just getting clean, and didn't have a high opinion of it. I was thinking whatever thread ran through the songs ...

Good God's Urge came out when I was living in Santa Cruz. It took a while to grow on me, but I think it has aged pretty well. Decent write up here: http://diffuser.fm/porno-for-pyros-good-gods-urge-anniversary/ And the cover is reminiscent of when Perry involved himself in assemblage. While not near...
