@alexjennings.bsky.social I just finished my second reading of The Ballad of Perilous Graves (this time with a wonderfully NOLA-jazz playlist in the background) and loved it just as much as the first time. When are we getting another novel from you?!

We’re discussing having a zine to go along with the show and want to know if there is sufficient interest from the audience to enable us to do it.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my morning trying to find a video that I don’t think exists because I think I dreamed it (and if I did, I’m rather proud of it and hope it happens one day):

I’m on day 5 of listening to pretty much nothing but Neil Young and this album has had the most plays. It’s been my favorite of his since I was in high school and remains one of my favorite albums by any artist
