The Thousand Eyes (Book)

A.K. Larkwood
This is the second book in a really interesting fantasy series called "The Serpent Gates. "The world Larkwood has created is truly unique; with the portals and air-ships, there is a lot of sci-fi thrown in with the fantasy. The characters are all non-human creatures with well developed personalities. The first book, "The Unspoken Name,' has a better story, but I recommend this one too. Read more

Things In Jars (Book)

Jess Kidd
This is an elegantly written mystery with supernatural elements, set in London in the 1800s. It centers around a kidnapped child who may be a mythical creature, and it deftly combines humor with darkness. My two favorite characters are Ruby, the ghost and Cora, the seven-foot-tall maid. Read more

I Don't Want To Be Too Cool (Expanded Edition) (CD)

Kate Fagan
A year or two ago, I read a great book called "Skaboom!: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History" by Marc Wasserman and learned about Heavy Manners, a Chicago ska band fronted by Kate Fagan. I didn't know about her solo career as a New Wave artist, so it was fun to discover this expanded reissue. Quirky, upbeat, early New Wave with great vocals, FTW. Read more

The Girl From Chickasaw County [Highlights] (CD)

Bobbie Gentry
A dark smokey voice with psych southern gothic overtones. Watch on youtube an old BBC film of her doing "Ode To Billie Joe", one of the best songs about emotional callousness this side of Billie Holiday, and if it doesn't bring a tear to your eye you're stronger than me. Play her music while reading Faulkner. Read more

The Principal (BLU)

Jim Belushi lays the smackdown on a bunch of 30-year-old highschoool students. HIlarious. Read more

Freeway
