Novel or something coming slowly but surely, John. I think. I hope.

I never know.

I like the use of “full-length” in this context. A Jello Horse is my 10″ EP.

I wrote music inspired by Light Boxes (http://johnmadera.com/music/).

Simmons’s book makes me look forward to a full-length from him. And I agree with you about some tonal similarities between JH and HB. Though each of the writers are certainly distinct from each other, they do share some qualities; there’s a concision and melancholic lilt in the sentences, how they bob along. You can see it in Easter Rabbit and MLKNG SKLS, too.

Jesse Ball is always incredible.

And what can I say about Evenson that I haven’t already said? His versatility always inspires.
