back to the purpose

hey folks,

this blog is a bit neglected! i thought i'd post and try to bring it back to our original purpose. i almost hate to post my new favorites here since the goal is to buy them for all of you for your birthdays, but here they are:

books:

• mating by norman rush.
• suburban nation: the growth of sprawl and the decline of the american dream. by some optimistic developers named duany, plater-zyberk and speck.
• lamb in love by carrie brown. buy this before it goes out of print.
• quarantine by jim crace. oh. my. god.
  

cds:

• "side one" (?) by adrien belew. yow!
• "hot fuss" by the killers.
