I love ‘Pink Moon’! Nick Drake’s great.

Isn’t he! I’ve spent a good chunk of the last ten years obsessing about his music and trying to play it.

Hey, Mark, good to know! I just wanted you to know I received my ARC from Pan MacMillan – and now I will have a playlist to listen to while I read it!

Hey Fábio – glad it got to you – I hope you enjoy it, and the soundtrack!

Dude… You like Alexisonfire?
I may be in guy-love…
Got your book on my desk, awaiting review for my local magazine. I think you just trumped the China Mieville forwho gets opened first…

Ha! Yeah, although these days I think I’m mellowing to Dallas Green’s solo stuff…
Trumping China – that’s what he gets for liking Drum ‘n Bass…

Drum and Bass?
Really?
I just died a little inside.

Helluva playlist, Mark. Lots of great stuff there!

Hello!
Even though I’m kind of late for the party (I just walked over here from some literature review site), I thought I’d point you to SeeqPod.com for your playlist. It finds music on the internet and lets you create and embed playlists. It’s what I use on my site when I want to point people to music – or used to until they decided to change to autoplay (but I think there’s an option to that, if you use their widget, or you can simply link to the URL they give you).
Looking forward to reading your book! =)

Hi zimstern, thanks for the tip. I’ll head there properly to have a play around. On first glance, I’m guessing it’s somewhere I’ll lose a few hours…
