For your ears only

[larryhammer]

It helps, I find, to have music in the background as I work, whether it's my local classical station, Icelandic pop, or imported trance. And there's some nifty independent stations (I'm fond of the latter's Secret Agent stream) on the 'net. To help find the right mix, there are several directories of indie and commercial stations, all waiting for your ears.

ObShamelessSelfPromotion: The table of contents for The First Heroes has been made public. Having just sent in page proofs, I can attest book design is classy.

I would be remiss if I didn't pimp my particular favorites, KMIN and KDRadio (both easily available from Google lookups) which are run by the same small "network" in Grants NM, which feature seriously diverse rock and pop from the 50s to the 80s.

All of which is fine if you have a computer with a sound card, which I find myself sorely lacking in the new place.

That said, many hours can be lost going thru the archives of KCRW (http://www.kcrw.com/cgi-bin/db/ kcrw.pl?tmplt_type=spec&tmplt_name=find_search), WFUV (http://www.wfuv.org/wfuv/archive/), and Acoustic Cafe (http://www.mlive.com/cafe/).

Oh, and you didn't note in your shameless self promotion that you have an excerpt of your fine piece on your website (http://www.dm.net/~lnh/verse.html)

Oo! More linky bits!

I almost did mention, but I had in an earlier post. I'm not entirely the extroverted self-promoter I possibly ought to be, in this business.

And thanks, Mr. Breakfast. The first installment in what I hope will be a book-length trashing of two generations of Greek mythology.

I'm less convinced over time one needs a particular personality to self-promote. Is more a matter of finding a style that is real and works for oneself.

I'm particularly looking forward to what happens when the Myrmiddons show up in Troy, many many many stanzas hence.
