Well… the final book in Stephen King’s Dark Tower series has come out and I devoured it in about two days. I hate, hate, hate reaching the end of a series, particularly this one. I’m filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy and loss and sadness. I miss the world and the characters already. If anyone out there has even vaugely similar tastes and hasn’t read it, you should do so. I’m not the biggest fan of sai King’s horror work… but I loved the Talisman and works like that… and this truly was a work of genious. Visit here to get a taste… and let the long journey begin. And if you are a fan of his other work - or even passingly familiar with it - you’ll enjoy the connections.
In other news… I’ve burned into the J’s, finishing off Jesus Jones this morning… I’ve got one airport express up and working and streaming music into the den. At some point I’ll be picking up another and a good set of speakers for the bedroom.
Also, just checked out the latest version of Ableton Live last night and I think it’s got me a bit inspired to start working on some of my own music again. The Gunslinger Suite, perhaps.
