In this episode I talk about many of Neil Gaiman's books as well as music from Adele, Descendents, Jazz is Dead, and Dream Theater. I had fun doing it. Now you must have fun listening. That is the nature of the contract.

| The cover photo. The book titles aren't as super crisp as they were before upload. We'll all just have to live with that, I'm afraid. |
 |
| This is the book that sent me down the rabbit hole of reading Neil Gaiman's stuff. The cover just kinda popped, and I ended up falling in love with the covers of all of the books in these paperback editions from William Morrow. Even if I didn't like the books, I think the covers are so nice I'd probably stull want them. |
 |
| See? Aren't these pretty? And the covers also mostly make sense as representations of the titles/stories for many of the books, though some get a little abstract. But these two are right on the money. |
 |
| The Graveyard Book cover makes sense, but American Gods' cover is getting a little abstract... I actually feel like that would be a better cover for Anansi Boys, as I could kind of imagine that as being the god-caves described in that book. Not sure what it's supposed to represent for this one...but the book itself is still aces! |
 |
| The Fragile Things cover is very abstract and I'm not sure what that's supposed to be. Same for Anansi Boys--although it almost looks like an abstract of the American flag...I wonder if they just got the art mixed up for "Gods" and this one? Still pretty though. (And I don't mind that the short story compilation covers are more abstract. Hard to sum those up in a glance.) I've got three more to read and I'm sure you'll hear about it once I have! |
 |
| Adele's new album "30." Good, but I like some of her others better. That said this one hasn't really had time to grow on me yet, so I may be eating those words before long. |
 |
| (Kinda) new one from the Descendents. Sounds great. Fits right in with the rest of their stuff. But I also haven't fully absorbed it yet, because I've not really been in a punk mood. But I'll get there. |
 |
| My only criticism of the Jazz is Dead series is too much is coming out too quickly and I'm having trouble keeping up, but it sure is good stuff! |
 |
| New Dream Theater. Sounds like Dream Theater. What else could you ask for? |
 |
| And here are my Christmas favorites that I mentioned. Particularly love that Aimee Mann album (of course). |
