Fester Cover
After utilizing the wonderful artwork by Jose Roberto for the cover of Timely Persuasion, I opted to go the do-it-yourself route for the “Fester” cover. My original idea was to take a photo of a pile of “scrip” tickets, a normal concert ticket, and a paper bracelet all scattered on a lawn alongside a ringing cellphone with…
Looper

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
Sad day for Red Sox Nation. Â In honor of the man who didn’t hold the ball, I’m reposting the deleted “lost” chapter to Timely Persuasion set at the 1946 World Series, plus the accompanying commentary. Deleted Scenes: Pesky Held the Ball? Commentary 7.5: Seven and a Half Cents So long, #6. Â This one’s for you.
