After the storm the other night... with the street light shining through the trees and illuminating the wet pavement... I finished chapter 16 of the "ghost train" book. It's fitting, since storms have their place in the story. Read it and see.
I also got a chance to do some "outlining" the next day. No, that's not my normal modus operandi, but I figured since I had so much difficulty figuring out exactly what this one is going to be... I should give in to the notion this once. The train tracks are just beyond the trees there in the distance. Always, just beyond the tree-line. It's so easy to get carried away, if a person isn't careful.
Also thought we'd do a photo version of the recent playlist. Seems like it's been a while since we did it that way! So first up...
Alice in Chains -- The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here
We're six months into the year, and I don't quite know what my favorite album will be, but this one will definitely make the shortlist! Gotta hear this thing to understand. Jerry Cantrell is one of the most underrated musicians ever. Ever.
Now for some vinyl:
Blur -- Blur, especially "Song 2"
Elvis Costello -- The Secret, Profane & Sugarcane
Foo Fighters -- One by One and In Your Honor
Jamey Johnson -- That Lonesome Song and The Guitar Song. This guy's a recent discovery... but definitely a new favorite of mine! A fellow Marine as well. Semper Fi!
U2 -- War, The Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree All on vinyl, the way they were meant to be heard when they were released back in the 1980's...
Wilco -- A Ghost is Born and Wilco (The Album)
That about does it for this edition. Yes, the "Wolves and Coyotes" are out for another prowl, and in my free time, I also snuck another one by the goalie, another New Mexico story that I've been referring to as "A Dry Rose". Very busy boy, yes. Anyway, it's out for a spin, as well... As is a little horror piece I did for a paying venue (fingers crossed).
Thanks (as always) for reading... Now go and enjoy the 4th!
