Razor & Tie Sucks
Oct. 22nd, 2003 10:24 amI don't care if Dar Williams is on their label, the people behind the scenes are assholes from hell.
Check out the latest "banter".
( horrid little time-wasting emails to follow )
I'm so close to telling them to shove their lousy product up their chocolate wiz-ways and going into the Feudal Mistress' office to beg her for release from this label. All they ever do is complain. No matter what I do, I can't satisfy them. Well, I've gotten to the point where I don't want to satisfy them. They have no idea how close they are to having every single order they send to me screwed up royally.
Sithly revenge....it's sweet as honey.

Russell Hoban
Oct. 22nd, 2003 02:36 pmOf late, I've been thinking a great deal about Russell Hoban. Dreadfully ignored in his home country of the 'good ole US of A', this man has a breathtaking knack for words, and I'm downplaying his talent.
'Twas Barry who introduced me to him and, to be honest, anyone who likes Shriekback should run off and try to find some of Russell Hoban's work, particularly 'Riddley Walker'. It is also of note that 'Riddly Walker' is the unofficial inspiration for a fair portion of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
I love Russell Hoban, even though I've only read 3 of his books (they're kind of hard to come by in America). The first book I read was 'The Medusa Frequency', then I devoured 'Riddly Walker', and finished up with 'Pilgermann'. Each novel has its unique merits, but I guess 'Pilgermann' would be my favourite, simply because Mr. Hoban's ability to paint masterpieces with language is combined with an almost Gnostic spiritual outlook to create a masterpiece that has no choice but to stir the reader's heart.
Some passages from the book:
( wondrous writings follow here )
I'm simply amazed at Russell Hoban's prowess with the written word. What I can't wrap my mind around is the fact that he's not internationally lauded and treasured.
