Wowsa. Long day at the dayjob.
Here's the highlight of the interwebs this evening: Salon.com's Best Books of 2007 List. They included two supercool writers who visited this site in 2007, including Vikram Chandra and Joshua Ferris. Also dig Caitlin Shamberg's video about Raymond Chandler's marriage, looking at one hardboiled writer I would have on this site, were he still alive.
In keeping with that happy reading spirit, here's part three of my happy writing music list for 2007.
10. "What Light" by Wilco from Sky Blue Sky. If you feel like you are writing something wrong, listen to this song.
9. "To the Dogs or Whoever" by Josh Ritter from The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter. If you feel like your metaphors are boring, then listen to this song.
8. "Satan Said Dance" by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah from Some Loud Thunder. If you can't sit at your writing desk anymore, listen to this song.
7. "Ultimate" by Gogol Bordello from Super Taranta. If you need to dance some more, listen to this song.
6. "The Underdog" by Spoon from Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. If you can't stop dancing, this song will chill you out.
