rostasi Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 (edited) This luscious beauty arrived a while back. Actually, I'm reading and listening to it. They do such an amazing job on their releases and this is a deluxe version (70 copies - sold out) compilation showing their variety. The video explains what they do. Always been completely overwhelmed by their work and this one is right up there with the others. Their approach to artistic packaging is so in-line with my ideas about how people's sound-art should be presented that it's such a joy to have these.

GA Russell Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 This was a comic book I always saw on the rack, but was never tempted to pick up. Did anyone here like this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Oh yes, this was Kirby before he created the Fantastic Four for Marvel, and the final third of this series under Kirby was inked by Wally Wood, a great combination. (Kirby and Wood did a newspaper strip together previously). I didn't buy these off the rack originally (I was too young) but picked them up in the early 'eighties in reprints because. . . Kirby and Wood. I wasn't collecting comics then but . . .Kirby and Wood caused me to pick them up. I now have the edition pictured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I just read Tim O'Brien's America Fantastica while on the bus to and from Buffalo. I liked it a lot, though he has a very sour, jaded take on Americans, particularly those of the MAGA-variety. (I felt he sometimes was trying to channel Hunter S. Thompson, though this wasn't quite so gonzo.) Indeed, the book is set in the waning years of the previous president, and COVID does make an appearance at the end. Everyone in the book, with the possible exception of two characters, is a grifter or an outright thief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For many years (decades) I have wanted to read the stories of Black Mask and Dime Detective. A few years ago, an attorney obtained as payment for services rendered the rights to the Black Mask catalogue. He re-published many of the stories. Apparently the sales were good, because now we are seeing the Dime Detective stories re-published as well. Radio Archives is also re-releasing many pulp magazines as eBooks.

jazzbo Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 (edited) Cool! Those old pulps are fun. I haven't read too much. . . Shadow. . . Doc Savage. . . and quite a bit of fantasy and science fiction . . . all in book form, not pulp mag form. I don't yet do any ebooks.

ejp626 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 I got about 2/3 of the way through East of Eden on a very long bus ride. Will wrap it up in next few days. I haven't decided whether to watch the movie, which only covers a relatively small chunk of the novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
