Thursday Morning Music
Capsule Silence XXIV
So speaking of Anamanaguchi, the new albums are part of a "game" you can get on their site, and it is fantastic. Easily the best game since E.T., the PDF in the app download (Windows & Mac in one zip file! Cats & frogs living together!) has a "17 stages of Joseph Cambell's MONOMYTH" slide which must be placed in all future slide decks, and Larold's story is so compelling it would make Hemingway cry. I found all the tapes for the rack + 3 extra, which shows the attention to detail in this game.

Science Fiction & Saturday Music
- Humble Bundle Adventures in Science Fiction Books: Runs until Oct18, and everything in this that I've read (Anderson, Bear, Brunner, Ellison, Foster, Silverberg, Steele, Sterling, Swanwick) is excellent, and I'm enjoying Sergei Lukyanenko's1 The Genome enormously. They've picked what looks like an all-good-stuff collection.
Saturday Music is a little spacey.
- Welcome to Earth, by Apoptygma Berzerk
- Harmonizer, by Apoptygma Berzerk
- You and Me Against the World, by Apoptygma Berzerk
- I adore the Night Watch books; but because of what they say, or because they're bound up in memories of rainy nights in Seattle reading at all-night cafés and public transit, very like the Moskva of the books? The first movie is great, but only about half the first book; the sequel movies are dire, some of the worst hatchet-jobs of adaptations I've ever seen. ↩
