good morning! good morning!
horsemouth is up and heading back into town (well not right this instant. right this instant he is sitting on his bed typing this).
last night he watched shetland with his mum (he watched it last week too) - vanished teenager, murderous goings on.
yesterday a late publication (to the extent that it is publication) of horsemouth's blogpost. today horsemouth plans to get up and out early (and soon enough, sadly, to be on his way). the wen is calling with its opportunity to hand in this extensively borrowed laptop. thereafter there may be an interruption in blogging service while horsemouth procrastinates over buying a replacement.
tomorrow a text from the other musician so that they can meet up (and debrief- he is back from his adventures in boston and the state of maine).
reading-wise horsemouth has started on the trial of of socrates (he will do more reading on the train), a history of reading (alberto manguel) he has stalled on (but it's a very pretty book to look at so he's not too bothered), the ethics of life writing has furnished him with some quotes and with some cause for thought (he will most certainly be returning to it soon).
further in the future horsemouth will be exchanging postcards with rob lawson (of a poetry/ mailart variety you understand - not of your common and garden 'we were here and the weather was lovely' variety, although that may happen).
further to discussion of the genre of american primitive - yes. old timey music is very much a part of it (at least the way john fahey does it). notably his recording of sail away ladies also includes al 'blind owl' wilson. lots of people have covered it joan baez, odetta etc. and the czech actor jiří suchý (and karel Štědrý) allegedly covered as 'takový je život' ('such is life') on the mighty supraphon label.
