  1. I took a shot at that Almost Transparent Blue by Ryu Murakami because it seemed like a good short read since I've seen it mentioned by a few of you around 4 times. I read half way through it in one sitting and I am disappointed. I will probably finish it anyways because I never left a book I buy unread. I just can't wait til' it's over, I'm so sick of it. I felt like I've read it before. IMO if you're looking for a short good read, I'd probably do something like The Subterraneans by Kerouac.

    I just started this (see below) now though, and I'm quite happy with it.

    722 pages, sounds long right? but not so much! some pages are full text pages and some are erratic.

    This is an amazing book. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it once you finish it. I think some times it is a bit overdone and some of his filler is just for show, meaning, it doesn't do anything for the work itself, but more times than not, this style is able to achieve the intended goal and really sucks the reader in, which, if you haven't found out already, is totally the point. You'll totally find yourself looking at things differently when reading it. (Don't get me wrong, this is what a good book should do, but i mean it in a completely different way than "broadening ones worldview") You'll see.

    Sadly, I have no intention of reading Only Revolution. Who knows, maybe it will end up being required reading for one of my courses.

    Enjoy! It goes a lot quicker than you expect. And, but, seriously, read every footnote, footnote of footnote and backnote.

  2. Any good? Sound more like recent Medeski/Martin/Wood or have they reverted to their early downtownier ways for Zorn's sake? Something else entirely? Or does it just sound like another damn Masada album?

    Just got all the way through. Pretty laid back. Not as extreme as some people had thought it would be. Def the groove elements you'd expect. Not bad! Not spectacular though. Fairly similar to their other stuff. Worth a listen though. Great music for an upbeat mixer.

    listening to this now:

    Really impressive. Find this if you can.
