Sweden at its best.
I’ve been handing out some real gems this week. You’re welcome.
I tend to find it quite difficult to compile “All-time Best of” lists in regards to movies and music, tending to focus instead on what I think is best at that moment specifically. However, there is one band who will always be at the top of my list as favorite band ever: M83.
If you aren’t familiar, you should make yourself. This is the single from the new album out in October:
And, as a bonus, an amazingly beautiful promo vid for the album:
The official music video is pretty great, but gets in the way of the music at times, so I present to you the audio-only version. Enjoy it. You know you want to.
Good times: My poem “Woman at the Bar” was published in Issue 10 of The Huron River Review.
Now, typically that’s the end of this sort of spiel, when I announce such things, but this journal, which is published at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan (where I teach part-time), is just plain gorgeous—as well as award-winning—so I thought I’d include a few pics and let you know it’s available for $6 on campus, if you’re ever in the area.
</sales pitch>
My poem “My Stylist at Supercuts” was recently published in Thunderclap! Magazine Issue 6. You can get a hardcopy or an eBook. Some good stuff in there. Go get yourself a copy.
I dare you.
Midwestern Gothic Issue 2 (Summer 2011) is now available for purchase.
Check out the buy page here, where you can order a hardcopy, PDF, and various other eBook formats. It’s worth it. I guarantee.
Okay, so I chose the more politically correct version of this band’s name. Starf***er could also work. Whatever. I’m feeling PC today.
My short story “Wet Seed Wild” was published in Hamilton Stone Review 24. Check it out here.
My flash story (read: short short story) “Garrison Keillor in Vietnam” is up at LITSNACK…right here!
Enjoy.
