Marsapalooza update:

The Barnes & Noble signing (click here) has been rescheduled for 8:00 instead of 2:00. This is good news, as things tend to really bustle on Saturday evenings.

I'll also be hitting a Borders in Kansas and perhaps making some astronomically inclined public appearances as well. Details later.





I bought Morrissey's "You Are the Quarry" today. Plainly stated, it's Morrissey's best record ever. Moz devotees universally dote on "Vauxhall and I," presumably the best Morrissey is capable of (in the same way that certain R.E.M. fans endlessly proclaim that "Automatic for the People" is the band's defining moment). "Quarry" doesn't just compete with "Vauxhall"; it eclipses it. There are no weak links -- the songs are as clever, acidic and thoughtful as anything Morrissey's ever recorded. I'll be quoting this one here at Posthuman Blues for months.

Song of the day: "Come Back to Camden"
