summer: poetry brothel

Jen Steele and I are reading with The Poetry Brothel regulars this Saturday at the House of Blues. We're going to be your whores for the evening... this means razzle, dazzle, bunches of red lipstick, poetry readings, and such. It's going to be a fun evening. Come meet Seraphine LaCroix and JamieDoll!

On 28 July Revolving Door is hosting the pre-release party for ACM50. This issue is going to be about 400 pages, the largest issue ever published by ACM. The festivities will be at Red Kiva from 9PM-1AM. No Cover! Drink Specials! DJ Third Degree & Fathom DJ will be spinning. Featured readings by: Tara Betts, Quaraysh Ali Lansana, Bayo Ojikutu, Timothy Yu & much more!

I have been playing the hell out of "Funeral Song" by the Minks. They're kinda cool, a little hep. And they totally sound like New Order meets Bob Dylan to play at a punk show. Take a listen.
