huck

not much going on at the moment. i'm at work listening to a French trio, the Anouar Brahem band - piano, accordian and oud (a wonderful stringed intrument that sounds like it was made for Tom Waits). good working music.

here is a list of the things that are keeping me entertained recently:

tunes
Le Pas Du Chat Noir and Le Voyage De Sahar by Anouar Brahem
the first Arcade Fire EP
La Maison De Mon Reve by CocoRosie
Dear Heather by Leonard Cohen
Kelly Sessions by Harvey Milk
Live At Les Loufiats by Kent Duchaine

words
The Age Of Reason by Sartre
Issue 16 of the avant-garde magazine McSweeney's
Close Range by Annie Proulx
The Timewaster Letters by Robin Cooper
Music While Drowning: German Expressionist Poetry (collective)

...Spring is here, the days grow longer, and life is like a periscope.

ca va?
