What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

Ryan Adams - Easy Tiger

I don't know if I've ever expressed my love for Ryan Adams on this blog. In case I haven't, I love Ryan Adams.

There, I feel closer to you now, having shared this.

My love affair with Ryan Adams has been going on for six or seven years. I've seen him live twice (not nearly enough for someone who loves him as much as I do) and have all of his albums. His music is the kind that you want to listen really loudly, while lying on the floor of your apartment or house with all the lights off. Or maybe that's just me... He's a little bit country, a little bit rock n' roll, a little bit Neil Young... I'd be a terrible music critic; I can't describe it.

The reason I'm telling you this is because his new album, Easy Tiger, was released today. I pre-ordered it from iTunes and am listening right now. It's lovely, just lovely... (Lovely? Yes, I'd be a terrible music critic.)


Here's a great article in last week's New York Times about him and it.

If you feel so inclined, head on over to iTunes and check it out, or head on over to his MySpace page and check it out, or live life on the wild side and BUY IT without even listening to it. Ah... the old days. It used to be like that, remember?

My favorite songs on Easy Tiger so far...

  • I Taught Myself How to Grow Old
  • Everybody Knows
  • Oh My God, Whatever, Etc.
  • Two (with background vocals by Sheryl Crow)
Check back later today for my top ten favorite Ryan Adams songs.
