Publishing Spotted: Calexico In Space!

Carried To Dust | CalexicoNeed some writing music? I can't tell you how many pages I've written while listening to Calexico.

This band sounds like the end of a pulp fiction novel, when the ruined hero trudges off to Mexico--maybe to escape, or maybe to die in the desert.

So get this: U.S. Representative and astronaut wife Gabrielle Giffords chose the Calexico tune "Crystal Frontier" to wake up the astronauts on the space shuttle last week. Check it out at Wired, and get yourself some new writing music:

"Touch and Go is offering the song as a free download up until the mission is complete and Discovery touches down on June 14. Calexico's forthcoming effort Carried to Dust is due out September 9 on Quarterstick Records."

Two book trailers enter the bloody ring, but only one can emerge.

What is the most popular poem on the Internets? Who In The Hell Is Tom Jones? by the intoxicating poet, Charles Bukowski. You must read every poem on this Top 50 Most Viewed Poems list--it's like a poetry anthology edited by a roomful of MySpace kids and webby readers. Thanks to Ed Champion for the link.
