Television

i imagine verlaine bought a bunch of collections sight unseen, too – like those random ebay auctions that are like "12 boxes of books for $100" ... pretty funny, he must've at least entertained the idea of opening a bookstore at some point. tom would've been a great cranky dude behind the counter, glaring at your lame purchases.

Highlights:
-Running into Sang Freud & Wife!!
....
-couple of books concerning da blooze.
-Stockhausen interviews
-book of jazz interviews (a gift!)
-Photo/text book abt West Virginia traditional music
-2 copies of the Bernie Kraus book/cd of his nature recordings/journals. (one will be a gift.)
-A book about the history of Martin Guitars (also a gift)
-Ellroy & Gibson 1st editions
-Sidney Bechet "Treat It Gentle"
-book of Raymond Chandler essays/interiews/miscellany.
-book of essays about Ross MacDonald

some more stuff too.. from what I gather, yesterday was a lot mellower than Saturday.

You can see some of the items from the collection that have been listed on the BRTD website-

great seeing you, ian!!

between the two of us we amassed 31 books, mostly from the literature section and some music stuff. i'll list some titles at some point.

"1880 or so" is the best song ever written

"the fragrance sweet
in the evening air
i could leave this world
quite without a care"

Definitely my favorite non-Marquee Moon Television song.
