Good morning again from Finland! Not Germany as planned due to the current Covid wave, unfortunately. Has Covidiocy stayed at the same level in the US? Seems to be a pretty constant and small but significant minority in Europe, substantially larger in former East Germany.

Brian D:

Hello Don. Covidiocy reigns supreme, I'm afraid. But our head of state is too old to go out clubbing.

Good morning Brian and all.
As for what I'm reading, I just finished the latest issue of Conjunctions, and I'll read the latest Ploughshares next. Not exactly books, but those "magazines" do look like books

Thanks for the link Brian; this is a really interesting article.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:52am
Brian D:

Nothing wrong with that reading material @Fred. Been meaning to start reading Ploughshares.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:01am
fred:

Ploughshares is quite varied: each year there's a long form issue, one short form, and two that feature prose and poetry. Throw in the guest editors and each issue has its own vibe

McGroovey:

The Parquet Courts song reminds me of something from the eighties. Kinda Echo & the Bunnymen, but also something else.

Screensaver reminds me of eighties Wire.

I want to see Nick Cave live someday, but I don't want to spend the $gazillion ticket price
