On drummers and being strait-laced
We're all familiar, I'm sure, with that well-worn joke: what's the difference between a drummer (sometimes some other variety of musician is substituted) and a large pizza? A large pizza can feed a family of four.
But surely a full-grown drummer could also feed a family of four. Even a relatively scrawny drummer should have a substantial amount of meat on his or her bones.
The vocal harmonies on Sodastream's "Cane and Rice" are very pleasing to me, and they should be to you, as well.
That man has missed something who has never left a brothel at sunrise feeling like throwing himself into the river out of pure disgust.
Says a Flaubert letter.
Says David Markson in The Last Novel (v. good, not really a novel, was to have been the subject of a post until I lent it to someone else who then left the state and shortly will leave the country, you can see how this impairs me, I'm sure).

The Last Novel is the last (presumably) in a series of similar books by Markson.

I gathered as much. Someday I will lay my paws on some of the others (but first, perhaps, on Wittgenstein's Mistress).

Wittgenstein's Mistress
Also very good; more like a novel, though maybe yet not one.
