Better Than Friday - 203 (Patreon)

Good evening ya'll, thunder and lightning here in FL - Dramatic. Hurricane season. Enjoyable.

Editing a review for Richard Brautigan's 'Trout Fishing in America', one of the strangest novellas I've read.

Have a great weekend and thanks so much for your continued support.

1. A forthcoming book I'll be reading: New Millenium Boyz by Alex Kazemi

A novel about Y2K era school shooters by Bret Easton Ellis' favorite 'millennial provocateur'.

Been speaking with the author - Blurbs from Douglas Coupland and Laura Albert (JT LeRoy) on the back - Looks promising.

2. László Krasznahorkai Interview: I Didn't Want to Be a Writer

I started 'The Melancholy of Resistance' recently.

3. Frantz Casseus - the "Father of Haitian classical guitar"

Frantz Casseus was a Haitian-born classical guitarist and a mentor to Marc Ribot, who called him the "Father of Haitian classical guitar".

Evocative, quiet, and lightly melancholy. Gorgeous music.

4. Minerva - Deftones

Not what I usually go for musically, but I remember falling asleep to this video as a teenager. I thought the images of the desert near the Salton Sea were beautiful.

5. Cab Calloway Cartoon

What a performer.

The local yard monster terrorizing my wife.
