hopefully, the last time test.
this is the last (time) test
Some things you should know.
Juvenile Nonfiction is Joshua Neds-Fox’s blog v.3, internetted lovingly to you from Detroit, Michigan.
I’m worth $1MM in prizes. I am without excuse.
I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.
Try joshua, here at neds-fox.com, via electronic mail, should you want to get in touch with me.
I hope you’re happy.
So, I took your Brand New suggestion. Thank you for making it. And thank the Good Lord for our library around these parts, because I’m not sure I really like it and am glad I didn’t spend cashola to listen to it. There are portions that remind me of The Wrens (really good), Pedro the Lion (pretty good), and…Kid Rock (gag me with a spoon). I’ve given it 3 listens. Will it sound substantially better after 5? 6? 10? Don’t get me wrong, there are some really strong elements. I’m just not catching up with the soft acoustic harmonizing right into a whiney shriek thing. But goodness, I want to get it! Help my lack of getting it! In other news, “Broom” by Somebody still loves you Boris Yeltsin is entertaining and I really like Swan Lake’s “Beast Moans,” both of which were courtesy of iTunes gift cards. I feel like Ananias and Saphira around Christmas time: I want to give rather than receive. But if I get anything I reeeealy want, I spend it immediately so no one can take it away or suggest I put it to more charitable use. Thank you for letting me confess it.

actually, megan, i didn’t suggest “a fine balance.” it might have been kirsten. i suggested “the music room” by mcfarland. but i’m glad you’re enjoying it. i wasn’t crazy about beast moans, e. i like the destroyer contributions, but overall it just seemed a little brittle to me. seth, come over anytime and i’ll give you lots of suggestions.
