A gnome spitting hot fire!
So many poems and incidents that seared into my memory forever.
Did a new piece that is dedicated to Frieda Hughes. Needs some work. Clearly shows that I have issues with academia and those who claim ownership of something that was never theirs.
Working it out onstage.
Really liking the new record by Over the Rhine. They're a band that has been mostly out of my radar, but when I put their music on I wonder why they hell they're not on continual repeat. The new release is called The Long Surrender and it's produced lovingly by Joe Henry. He gets some beautiful performances out of the band and reveals the colors of Karin Bergquist's voice.
Nicole Atkins has come back to the scene with a new record also. Mondo Amore has been four years in the making. During this period Atkins left her record label and broke up with her boyfriend and band. It's a darker record that Neptune City and if you're looking for the Brill Building influence it's hard to find. This is a much darker and swampier sound, and it's a decent change of pace for her.
I wonder what kind of record would have come out of Daniel Lanois had produced it.

Looks like one of the gnomes bought a big scoop of mint chocolate-chip ice cream from Target. I have no idea what else that thing he's holding could possibly be.
It's not a cone, but a pail of, um, something...
Thanks for alerting me to the new Over the Rhine album BTW. It will be mine.
Best of the year, so far.
That gnome never ceases to amaze me! And now he has a friend?! This shit could get crazy!
Never under estimate the power of gnome, Linc.
