Noticed yesterday that my Amazon KDP exclusivity period ends August 30th. Â Since I got caught sleeping, you win! The Kindle edition of Timely Persuasion is once again free on Amazon from 8/27-8/30. Â Last chance (maybe…) to get the greatest rock and roll time travel novel of all time for the low low price of $0….
Year Zero
Recently finished reading Year Zero by Rob Reid and mostly dug it. Â Learned about the book via this headline on the All Songs Considered Blog: Aliens Have Landed, Hoping To License All Of Humanity’s Music Gets a little wacky and a little campy at times, but overall it’s a heck of a fun ride. Â I…
RIP Johnny Pesky

Of The Year – 2011
After a so so year for albums in 2010, this time around I actually have enough candidates for a proper top 10. 1. Pink Strat — Bahamas This record came out in Canada in 2009, but just came out in the US in 2011. (Yay, time travel!) Quietly snuck up on me as my go…
His Name Is My Name Too
Stumbled onto this Twitter user the other day: (Warning: link is somewhat NSFW) Not sure exactly what to make of this. Â An imposter? Â A fan of Timely Persuasion? Â Schizophrenia?
