I'm really looking forward to the Pogues, Madness, Elliott Smith, Big Star and Pavement (maybe: I would have greatly preferred Slanted & Enchanted). And though I have no interest whatsoever in Black Sabbath, I still might pick that one up for the very rare treat of reading the book-length musings of the great John Darnielle (of Mountain Goats renown).

Though I toyed with the idea of re-submitting last year's book proposal for Morphine's The Night, I decided against it. Three unfinished novels are more than enough, thank you.
