Contradictions, Music, and a Reading today

Contradictions

After my recent diatribe about comics, I have become engrossed in “The Preacher.” Got a copy of Volume 1 for my birthday from someone who thought it would be up my alley anyway. He was right, and I’ve plowed through Volumes 1-3 this week. Jonesin’ for #4.

Music

I read Volume 3 before bed last night to the accompaniment of the new Stooges album, “The Weirdness.” Fucking LOVE IT. Not even in a nostalgic, ah-I-remember sorta way — it’s a tough, excellent album of punk-rock-sneery goodness. Plus, Mike Watt on bass.

A Reading

As if to capitalize on all this…I’ll be over at That’s Entertainment, the comics/record store on Park Ave in Worcester, to be part of the “Look! Up In the Sky!” superhero anthology release reading at 2:00. Be there or eat Kryptonite.
