Best Songs of 2012, part 1: The internet can be pretty cool.
Before sharing a list of my favorite albums in 2012, I'd like to spread my love for the select tracks feeding my addiction throughout the year. These are the tunes flying above and beyond their albums, the ones which dug in and nested in my brain for weeks or even months. The first is easily my favorite track on Death Grips' breakthrough album The Money Store. It's called Hacker.
This frantic burst of nakedly violent energy feels like it's on the verge of exploding from the get-go, yet impossibly doubles down on its momentum, throttling away like a madman in absolute command of his vehicle. The spliced-digital-ADD edit of Ghost in the Shell footage is a stroke of genius pairing, as far as I'm concerned. Work like this is what the youtube age is all about. And why copyright laws are outdated.
While the album was loved and acclaimed by many of my friends, it was this track alone I felt completely enthralled by. Hell, this thing punches first time listeners in the face. I feel like a rocket every time I hear it.
Yo La Tengo – And The Glitter Is Gone
So here we go.
I was lost in a youtube hole with Yo La Tengo tonight when the notion occured to me that I have never fairly represented my deep seated love for the band on this blog. I can't possibly hope to convey it in one or a dozen posts so I'm starting off with this fantastic take on a very recent track. It speaks for itself. This band is fucking phenomenal and always has been.
Cleanse Your Brain
The title says it all: Miles Davis Live Electric and Brutal.
Just hit play, turn your volume up to an uncomfortable level, and let this thing blast the top of your head off. You will feel like a new person after watching this, and go forth into your day with fresh energy and a skyward gaze. Your life will be that much closer to completion. Seriously!
the fuck?
Colin Stetson
Colin Stetson has created most physically thrilling music in years. The sheer power and intricacy of his saxophone work sets my mind racing with awe and excitement, and leaves me to rue the day I laid my own instrument to rest in its case for years. It's taken me nearly a year to come to terms with what he's unleashed and finally share my thoughts in written form.
Not only is this man setting the vanguard for new music and expanding perception of what an instrument can sound like, he's unspooling aggressive hair-raising songcraft in an unprecedented, instantly recognizable timbre and taking everyone along for the ride. As intimidating as the notion of groundbreaking forms of woodwind communication seems, the music itself is open and inviting, something which can and will stop your mother in her tracks as she asks, just what is that? And then: how does he do it?
I'll begin by going back to what I started writing about Stetson when his second full length released last spring:
As an incorrigible music junky, I'm always trying to peek over the horizon, searching for those incandescent bursts heralding a surprise. The elated rush of discovering and absorbing the truly new has no sensory equal. Looking over my musical history, it seems most of my favorite albums were of this stripe: works not only deserving my love, but challenging or entirely sidestepping my perception of interesting music – making an impact in the very nature of what I find pleasurable about listening. This blog was born of my desire to share that feeling as much as I could, and this post is as true to that aim as any I've ever written.
This is all to set the stage for my statement that Colin Stetson, with his release New History Warfare Vol. 2 – Judges, has created something truly new.
Stetson records in a tactile environment throbbing with tidal bass with details crackling like dry leaves against skin – I can feel its physical impact on my body. Two major factors drive this sensation: the performance itself and the unique recording process. Constellation MVP and newly christened engineer Efrim Menuck (of Godspeed You! Black Emperor) documented his sound in a fairly unorthodox manner. One listen through and anyone would feel suspicious about the claim that the entire album was captured via single takes with no overdubs; it's an intricate, dense layer cake of ideas and epiphanies, and it's always moving. The truth is this: using over 20 microphones positioned throughout the room, including contact mics on his throat and the instrument itself, every song was recorded in such a way that the multitude of angles could be folded and mixed together by engineer Ben Frost into the crystalline vision it is.
Stream the full thing. Now.
* Download The Stars In His Head here (right click and save) *
So that answers the question of how he does it and finally casts light on my few organized thoughts on the groundbreaking album. In the meantime he released the Those Who Didn't Run EP and laid bare the sheer tidal force of his recording process with two 10 minute cuts demanding attention and awe in visceral fashion. Side A presents a rhythmic onslaught courtesy of his bass saxophone and Side B weaves an astounding counterpoint with an Alto, twin of the very horn resting less than a dozen feet from where I sit.
Each of these pieces sets me loose in an undulating labrynth of sound, bouncing off the walls riding a burst floodgate of energy straight toward the exit; the first full of low frequency mirth and massage, the second a stone hummingbird skipping across rapids and over waterfalls. They're each an imaginary car chase down a pair of rabbit holes nobody knew existed a year ago and they set the stage for understanding the monumental accomplishment of the album they follow.
Stream this now, ok?
No amount of description or anecdote can prepare you for hearing this magic yourself. I could remark at the way it can bellow and sway like giant redwood trees in a hurricane, or blast images through my subconscious: ancient armadas cast into space, airborn mountains crashing to the surface, or pews and pipe organs and church spires crumbling in earthquakes. I could mention the explorations of Albert Ayler and Archie Shepp, Don Cherry and Marion Brown and, hell, Pharoah Sanders and how – only cumulatively – they could prepare you for this adventure. I could mention that no prior knowlege is required in the least to enjoy this untethered journey into the heights of creativity and musicianship. To hear this is to witness the vision of a man exerting himself with superhuman effort and poise to craft intensely visionary music with tectonic force.
[please purchase either release from Constellation - the EP is on 10"/digital while Judges comes on vinyl with the CD and digital code included]
Everything's Exploding
Just because.
The Flaming Lips recorded this song for their 1987 (breakthrough? probably not.) full length Oh My Gawd!!!… The Flaming Lips, and to my ears it is one of the most perfect album intros in the history of history. This fan-made video I find to be inconceivably appropriate.
Just look at that trippy, phallic, jeuvenile fucking cover art! If you don't love it well that's just too damn bad.
Found A Job
First: sorry I've been sort of quiet for a few weeks.
Second: this.
It's true. This one pays far more than my prior occupation so it's worth the being-busy-all-the-time aspect. However I have not – cannot – neglect music and thus always have something worth sharing with the world. Every commute, every bicycle ride, every nighttime book devouring session is accompanied by something new, expansive, exciting… punctuated by old favorites I find myself doubled over with joy upon re-hearing. So I've got something to say.
Unfortunately I worked my brains out today and must save the in-depth breathless praise and wild exhortations to purchase vinyl for the remainder of the weekend. I will simply state that there are a few albums I'm quite taken with, continually listen to, and wish that more people would get familiar with. These are a few of them:
United Waters – Your First Ever River
Sensations' Fix – Fragments of Light
Robert Fripp – Let The Power Fall
Fleetwood Mac – Tusk
Drive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Thundercat – Golden Age of the Apocalypse
and finally, with apologies to the artist herself:
Matana Roberts – Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens De Colour Libres
Because this is, by some distance, one of the most powerful and heartfelt albums of 2011 and I really should have shared all about it when I got it months ago. I promise – I swear – I will soon. Keep an eye on this page, and stay ready for the deluge.
The Psychic Paramount – II
So I know I've been sluggish this year with Optimistic Underground. I relish being able to share the music enriching my life with you. I hope to rectify this laziness starting now, with The Psychic Paramount and their (hopeful) breakthrough album II.
I had this whole through-line about jet engines and surgical instruments and LSD and This Heat and Les Rallizes Dénudés and Miles Davis and cathartic volume levels… but I got caught up, slack-jawed and blasting this album again. It's almost like a psychedelic brillo pad, carving clear my thought channels and surrendering my body to oblivion. A therapeutic breakdown of cogent narrative, this thing blasts away the outside world and disconnects me, sets me free in a way only the most blissed out Lovesliescrushing or hard droning Boris album can. It strikes an unknown sweet spot, defying gravity while splaying my brain with crushing heft. Crucial to this power is the flawless production, zooming in on every microscopic detail yet capturing the panoramic magnitude these songs inhabit. A dizzying high wire act of wide-eyed clarity, this album satisfied me in places only a fellow Swans or John Coltrane or Fennesz fan would recognize.
Second track DDB, opening with one of the more gentle passages on II, grows like marshmallows in the microwave, devouring 9 minutes in a wild-fire.
While I'm dropping names, I should mention that if you like Boredoms, Eternal Tapestry, Lightning Bolt, Fushitsusha, or anything within orbit of those bands, you will find yourself punch drunk and melting to this album.
[Released by No Quarter, the album is available at the label's page for only $11 on cd or vinyl. So get it there. Listen to the free stream while you wait.]
Albums I Missed: 2010
So we all tend to discover some of our favorites of a given year immediately or long after it has passed. I decided to share mine. Despite being the first week of January, I've already discovered, revisited, and heard enough albums in a better light (courtesy of my brand new Sennheiser 280's) to start a list going. This is the first in a series to unfold for the next month or so. All I know for sure is that this music is at least as worthy of a listen as anything listed in Best of the Rest 2010, or even Best of 2010.
- Forest Swords – Dagger Paths
This album I heard once, the moment it dropped. Despite intriguing me somewhat, it managed to slip to the back of my must list and languished for the rest of the year. Spotting its placement on several highly respectable year-end lists, I felt compelled to give it another chance. So thank you, fellow list makers. Especially my friend at Bubblegum Cage III. What sets this material apart from the beat scene or the solo-psych-project folks – or anyone else for that matter – is the serpentine guitar work and murky, lived-in feel of every moment. Lurching beats dangled around thunderous, bassy guitar melodies and an almost tribal, foot stomping ethos, this (frankly) astounding debut sounds like the work of an accomplished veteran, confidently going out on a limb, then rising, rising, rising. The only direct reference point I have is Gang Gang Dance, live, lately. Don't look to their records for anything like this; you had to be there. Thankfully that ecstatic experience seems to be just what Forest Swords aims for and achieves on this album.
- How To Dress Well – Love Remains
Honestly, I kept away from this one out of sheer knee-jerk hipster/pitchfork/etc rejection. I shouldn't have. It's so much more (and less, in a good way) than what it's been sold as. Far more psychedelic than any description employing "r&b" infers, it's a syrupy miasma of primal notions and half-thoughts, the bits and bytes of heartache and longing twisted up in a melting dream logic David Lynch would be proud of. This is drone music for the dance party comedown, dance music for the somnambulist, love songs for the fucked up.
- Shackleton – Fabric 55
So I had the impression that Fabric mixes were simply a series in which an artist makes a DJ mix of other artists work. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they're just alright.. but they're never essential or brilliant like the artist's own work. I couldn't have been more wrong. Shackleton mines his own discography, past present and future, using elements of his Three EPs release as thematic glue to bind a striking set of 22 tracks that, to me, is possibly the final word on dubstep as we know it. One listen through and I'm already confident that I'll be spinning this more than his prior album – and I absolutely LOVE that album. This one is simply more vibrant, active, playful. It shuffles off on an oceanic dub odyssey, seamlessly whirling through almost 80 minutes of depth charge awe. The fact that I ignored this profoundly satisfying set, from a personal favorite artist, makes my head spin.
If you've got suggestions for something I may fall in love with, please leave a comment. We all benefit from hindsight. MORE to come…
Best of the Rest of 2010
My Best of 2010 was basically an attempt to carve my musical experience of the past year down to its most essential, most ingrained elements. An attempt to sum up the music I feel had the largest impact on my listening, on my life.
I left out a lot of great albums. Thankfully, they were drawn from a text file kept on my desktop throughout the year, chronicling each album I decide, at a given moment, is awesome. Yes, it's that simple. As time passes I remove the fleeting infatuations, anything not holding up. So I'm left with a solid list I can refer to in search of everything I really, truly enjoyed this year. This is it, in order I heard them.
- Bullion – Say Goodbye To What EP
- Four Tet – There Is Love In You
- Arrington De Dionyso – Malaikat Dan Singa
- Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra – Kollaps Tradixionales
- Autechre – Oversteps
- Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
- Erykah Badu – New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh
- Ikonika – Contact Want Love Have
- Take – Only Mountain
- LCD Soundsystem – This Is Happening
- Boris – Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 3
- Connect_icut – Fourier's Algorithm
- Janelle Monae – The ArchAndroid
- Rollo – 3
- Yellow Swans – Going Places
- Sightings – City of Straw
- Guido – Anidea
- Lorn – Nothing Else
- Teebs & Jackhigh – Tropics EP
- Infinite Body – Carve Out The Face Of My God
- The-Dream – Love King
- The Sight Below – It All Falls Apart
- Deepchord Presents Echospace – Liumin
- TOKiMONSTA – Midnight Menu
- Oneohtrix Point Never – Returnal 7″
- Scuba – Triangulation
- Sepalcure – Love Pressure EP
- Imbogodom – The Metallic Year
- Singing Statues – Outtakes EP
- Flying Lotus – Patter + Grid World EP
- Seefeel – Faults EP
- Mark McGuire – Living With Yourself
- Efdemin – Chicago
- T++ – Wireless
- Gold Panda – Lucky Shiner
- Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest
- Balam Acab – See Birds EP
- Gonjasufi – The Caliph's Tea Party
- VHS Head – Trademark Ribbons of Gold
- Marcus Fjellström – Schattenspieler
- Zach Hill – Face Tat
- Games – That We Can Play
- Zs – New Slaves
- Fenn O'Berg – In Stereo
- Richard Skelton – Landings
- James Blake – Klavierwerke EP
- Fursaxa – Mycorrhizae Realm
- Dimlite – My Human Wears Acedia Shreds EP
- Kurt Weisman – Orange
- Clubroot – II MMX
So there it is. Something to remember is that any one of these albums may end up defining the year as much as the 'true' list – and that something I haven't even heard yet may best them all. It's happened before. This is why Optimistic Underground will soon post its first Music From Before 2010 But Discovered This Year list. This will cover the much wider range of music I was into this year, since there is already much more music out there than is being released at any given time.
[This post is subject to change. Like I'll probably add one or two more by January.]

Remember Why You Fear Me: The Best Dark Fiction of Robert Shearman
Harper Collins, Oct 15, 2012 - Fiction - 425 pages
A woman rejects her husband's heart—and gives it back to him, still beating, in a plastic box. A little boy betrays his father to the harsh mercies of Santa Claus. A widower suspects his dead wife's face is growing over his own. A man goes to Hell, and finds he's roommate to the ghost of Hitler's pet dog. Giant spiders, killer angels, ghost cat photography, and the haunted house right at the centre of the Garden of Eden.
Deliciously frightening, darkly satirical, and always unexpected, Robert Shearman has won the World Fantasy Award, the British Fantasy Award, the Shirley Jackson Award, and the Edge Hill Reader's Prize. Remember Why You Fear Me gathers together his best dark fiction, the most celebrated stories from his acclaimed books, and ten new tales that have never been collected before.
This ebook contains four bonus novelettes drawn from throughout Shearman's impressive career: "Tiny Deaths," "Jolly Roger," "The Big Boy's Big Book of Tricks," and the previously unpublished "The Girl from Ipanema."

Check out this mailing list post for details.
We had a new member join us on Saturday, Alex. He's fifteen, but has already built his own robot:
It's powerful, capable of roaming around paddocks and the countryside on all terrain tyres, has a speech synthesis engine on board, loads of LED lights to come in handy with debugging, and some powerful headlights for night driving.
We spent a while going through what's involved with obstacle avoidance, and different strategies for slowing down and dealing with data.
Loads of fun, and fantastic to see workmanship like that. Congrats, Alex!

Grape & Grain
In addition to coffee and cake, perennial cafe fare at this stylish, burgundy- and green-coloured place includes big salads served with garlic bread and sandwiches with salad, nachos and dip.
In addition to coffee and cake, perennial cafe fare at this stylish, burgundy- and green-coloured place includes big salads served with garlic bread and sandwiches with salad, nachos and dip.
Held on the Square, as markets have been for centuries.
The local farmers market is held on the Butter Market square.
Local gossip is dissected each morning amid the smells of fresh coffee and the wondrous baked treats emerging form the oven. Tables overlook the townside bustle or boats moored out back.
Just off the main square, this little sprite of a cafe has a courtyard where you can enjoy its excellent coffees. There are gourmet sandwiches and hot specials. Baked goods include a house speciality that invariably causes diners to exclaim: 'Ooh! Banoffee pie!'
This instant-Foursquare-worthy pub has an excellent kitchen. Stone walls and floors and a welcoming fire are only the start. Fresh fish is the thing here; you'll see the purveyors out working in the estuary or even drinking at the bar. Nab a table outdoors on a summer night.
Irish twists at this cute little red box of a cafe include bacon-wrapped scallops and homemade beef burgers laced with onions, while international options include lasagnes.
Melt-in-your-mouth quiche, polenta-crusted aubergine with chilli and almond filling and honey- and mustard-glazed bacon with parsley sauce are among the stylish choices at this scrumptious slice of France.
Quinlan's is Kerry's leading chain of fish shops, with their own fleet, so you know its seafood bar fare is fresh. The fish and chips are great; alternatives include Dingle Bay squid and chips with sweet chilli sauce. The Delft-blue and scrubbed-timber premises have a handful of wine barrel tables, or head to Tralee's Town Park.
Now a daytime-only operation, this is nevertheless a cosy little spot with Elvis on the stereo, Audrey Hepburn posters on the walls and a view of kids kicking footballs on the Square out the front.
Entered via a narrow lane, this contemporary spot is great for tapas as well as more filling meals such as pan-fried sirloin steaks.
Tralee's farmers market sprawls across the main square. Days vary, but it's usually busiest on Saturdays.
The perfect reason to walk out to the point of the bay: this modern cafe (with a huge terrace) serves food far above the norm for the types of places usually found in such a stunning spot. Fresh salads, chowders, sandwiches, breakfasts and a plethora of daily specials delight.
This deservedly popular dinner spot is booked up solid night after night for its carefully crafted seafood and meat dishes. Tables outside are a summer-night treat. Call to confirm opening hours.
This bakery/deli/cafe is filled with surprises and fresh treasures. The scones are plainly the best in Clare and the rest of the fresh-baked fare is equally good. You can do takeaway or dine in for breakfast, lunch and tea.
Enjoy tables outside for a little salt-spray in your stout at this excellent cafe, bar and bistro. It serves amazing seafood and is worth booking for dinner. Good wine list.
The terrace alone is enough to make Naughton's a mandatory stop, but the food is even better. Fresh local produce and seafood combine for some mighty fine pub meals at this very atmospheric family-run pub which dates to the 1870s. Book.
This popular hotel has a good menu of local seafood and steaks on offer throughout the day. Enjoy quality ocean salmon and shellfish or one of many specials in the bright and simple dining room or in the usually crowded pub.
Spa & Fenit
The menu of this bright-yellow pub/restaurant brims with local catches served in classical styles – pan fried, deep fried, and mornays, including a luscious scallop mornay with piped potato crust.
Spa & Fenit
A local icon, this fifth-generation whitewashed bar has a mouthwatering line-up of seafood, including baguettes filled with Tralee Bay crab, plus plenty of locally sourced meat dishes (their motto is "fresh or nothing"). Rates for its 10 rooms with private bathrooms include hearty breakfasts.
Spa & Fenit
Grilled Atlantic salmon, pan-fried Kerry Head crab claws, Dingle Bay prawn scampi and lobster in season star at this classy restaurant, but carnivores and vegetarians aren't forgotten, with plenty of inventive options.

Parted Out – Grim Repo Files #2 Emerges From The Jump Gate!
After a year in the deep dark of the Fringe, Parted Out is now available almost everywhere! It's another fast paced adventure for Captain Grimm and his crew, and I have to say that, even after the fourth and fifth read, I still enjoyed it.
If you haven't read about Grimm, before, I've got a special treat for you. Grim Repo, the first book in the series, is now free almost everywhere it's available. I'm working on getting it free on Amazon, too, but they seem to be taking their time in matching the price.
So, download Grim Repo, then treat yourself to Parted Out!
Here's the blurb.
Starship repossession specialist Grimm and his crew, after their last botched repo, look forward to an easy and quick job, with their eyes on a much needed vacation as a reward.
Unfortunately, nothing ever goes as planned for Grimm. Caught between a salvager who wants the same ship and a bank that has him on a very tight deadline, Grimm must use every trick he knows to get the ship off station, intact and on time, while keeping himself and his crew alive.
The first chapter and links to where you can buy Parted Out are on the Parted Out page.
Parted Out Proof In My Hands
I have the proof copy of Parted Out, the second book in The Grim Repo Files, in my grubby little hands. It's twice as long as the first book, and hopefully twice as exciting.
The book will be out at the end of the month, barring any unforeseen issues. I still have to read it through one last time and correct any issues that I see, but frankly, once the book is at this stage, it's usually in pretty good shape.
In case you haven't read Grim Repo, you can read the first couple chapters here, and learn all about Captain Grimm and his crew of starship repossession specialists.
The last two pictures here are what Parted Out looks like from the back, and what it looks like nestled in with all the rest of my books. It looks so happy there, right next to Grim Repo, doesn't it?
For Your Reading Pleasure – Minders
Early last year, I wrote this book. It started in a sewer, and went in directions I could not have anticipated. I planned on releasing it in October last year, but life intervened and I couldn't even read it for months.
But, eventually, I was able to right myself, pick up the book, and start working on it again. A funny thing happened. I couldn't put the book down. Even though I was marking passages and errors, I read through it in only a couple days.
I had no goals when I wrote this book, other than to do something different (for me) and to write an exciting story, and I think I achieved both of those goals.
So, more than a fourteen months after I put the last word down on the first draft, Minders emerges from the sewer to see the light of day.
Steve never wanted to live his life at night, sleeping in the darkest places of the city during the day. He never asked for his body to change and give him abilities that would turn him into a pariah. And after thirty years, he never thought his life would change again.
Deep in a dark sewer, his unwanted reality comes crashing down after he receives a cryptic message from another that shares his same fate. "They hunt, brother."
In a race to learn who hunts him, Steve must dodge betrayal, clandestine organizations, and crazed people with abilities as strong as his own to learn why, after thirty years, someone finally cares.

Finished October And Other Updates
This morning, quite unexpectedly, October came to an end. I'd felt like I had started moving toward an ending a few days ago, but I didn't think I'd stumble over it quite this soon. I would have said, when I woke up this morning, that there were at least a couple days left.
But in my second session today, things wrapped themselves up in ways I hadn't expected, and I found myself with no more story to write.
October is, I think, a much more subtle story than I've written previously. It certainly isn't like anything else I've done. It's going to sit for a couple weeks before I get down to reading it and learning just what I've perpetrated on the world. I'll probably let it go until just after I release Minders. It'll be released at the end of September, just in time for you to read it in… October.
Coming up, next, though, is Minders. This bio-tech thriller/superhero origin story will be out Thursday, May 29th in most online stores. I've ordered what should be the last of proof copies, and if it's in good shape, which I expect it to be, I'll be spending Memorial Day weekend uploading it everywhere.
There's one more thing. Parted Out: Grim Repo Files #2 has a release date, too. July 29, 2014. I'm really excited to get these books out, finally. It's been a long, hard year, but things are finally coming together.
Tomorrow morning, I pick up where I left off on Bloodweave. I'm excited about it, too. I can't wait to learn what Robert, Angela, Gerard, Nina, and Demetrius are going to do.
Writing Again
In the last post, I made some predictions about time frames and other things, and I was wrong on pretty much all of them. Minders din't come out before Christmas, I didn't really get back to writing as soon as I thought I would, and Grim Repo 2 is still sitting on my hard drive.
But that's all old news.
We're still dealing with some issues (who isn't), but things have now progressed to the point that I've been able to write regularly again. Fourteen out of the last sixteen days, in fact. I can finally get out of my head and into my characters heads, and it feels really good.
This weekend, I'm formatting Minders for paper. It'll be released at the end of May. It is, I think, one of the most exciting books I've written, to date. Usually, by this time in the process, I can't stand to read my book again. This time, I'm looking forward to having to do the proofread.
Grim 2 is slated for a late July release. The book October (which I'm writing right now), is due out at the end of September. If I have time, I'll slip in a couple of the stories that I've got sitting around.
I'd like to get these things out faster, but I'm not writing full time. Getting us on a firm financial footing takes precedence, right now, but I'm back on track and pushing ahead.
And as soon as I'm done writing October, I'm going to pick up Bloodweave again and get it out to you as soon as I possibly can.
Life Rolls Aren't Good Eating
That's right. I'm still alive. I haven't gone anywhere. I've been here the whole time, and I don't plan on going anywhere soon.
However, my silence probably deserves an explanation. Hell, even if it doesn't, I'm going to give you one, anyway. You deserve it.
My mentors (they don't know they're my mentors, but I think of them that way — and from what I'm going to say, some of you may figure out who I'm talking about) have a phrase that they use to describe life altering (or interrupting) events. Life rolls. These are things that come up that interfere with your life, your work, your ability to write. They are all-consuming and make getting anything creative done a real difficult proposition.
Where that's relevant is that, over the last couple months, I've been right in the middle of one.
This life roll has roots that go back at least seven years, but the major events precipitating it begin near the end of 2009. You could even say that I've been living a life roll since the end of 2009 and only in the last couple months did it reach a state that it interfered with my ability to create.
Since 2009, my wife and I have experienced the following things: four car accidents in the space of one year that were not our fault, job loss, the sole client for my software business giving up on his business and leaving me in the lurch, long term unemployment (we now make a third of what we made before), and hospital stays for more than one family member.
We're all still alive and we still have our home, but it all took a toll on my relationship with my wife, and we've been on rocky ground for quite a while.
In early September, things came to a head, and it forced me to reexamine my priorities, which is what I've been doing for the last couple months. I'm still doing it.
But I think I'm getting close to being able to sink my teeth into the stories again.
It won't be the same, though.
You may not notice, honestly, because the projects I've started, I'm going to finish. They may just not get finished in the most timely fashion.
Before this all came down, I was going to try to publish something every four to six weeks. I was going to try to be one of those people that just flooded the market with their books to become successful.
Now, though, I'm not going to focus on producing as many books as I can. I don't have the time, as I've had to take on some contract work to pay off a huge pile of debt. So with the time I have available for writing, I'm just going to focus on producing books that I'm excited about and trust that good things will happen. I'm going to try to live in the moment, as much as possible, instead of pining for a future that might never happen. I'm going to write for myself instead of to a business plan.
Reviews? Who cares.
Sales? Not going to worry about them.
Acclaim? Some of you like my writing. That's good enough.
I love my wife too much to burn out my marriage in an effort to control something that I can't control.
So what does this mean for the future?
I hope it means that you'll see Bloodweave (the third A Wizard's Work book) in the next year. You should see Minders released before Christmas, and hopefully before the end of November, and you'll also be seeing the second Grim Repo book in the near future (right after Minders). I've got a couple of longish short stories to release at some point, too. Z3 (the third zombie novella) will probably see the light of day next year, too. And then, I don't know. Maybe I'll let you see this contemporary story that I've been dabbling with (I don't know what genre it is, yet) over the last couple of months in an effort to get "something" done. Maybe I'll write something completely different.
Whatever happens, it'll be because it comes from my heart, and not from other peoples' expectations.
And really, don't we all want fiction that comes from the core of the writer's being?
I hate doing this, which is probably why I'm a writer and not a salesman, but buy one of my books, if you haven't. There are samples throughout the site (click on any book cover on the sidebar). If you've bought one of my books and liked it, buy more. Or if you're a writer, try out my software at storyboxsoftware.com. My creditors will love you.

February 1997, Vol. 21, No. 1
I first met Zhang Luping in 1989 at a tournament, and subsequently he was featured on the cover of the April 1990 issue. He had an interesting story to tell about his travels in China and finding various skillful masters.
He also exhibited a penetrating, original mind that he applied to his study of T'ai Chi Chuan then, and no less today. A lot depends on who you learn from, but a lot depends on what you bring to your studies. He continues to bring a lot and to share a lot, as evidenced by this issue's cover article.
While Zhang Luping is revisited in this issue, there are a number of newcomers as well.
Hean K. Low of Australia is a newcomer to T'AI CHI Magazine and has an interesting article about the Wu style. The details Liu Jixun gives about the Wu style of Wu Yuxiang are helpful to any style. They are not easy to comprehend but are basic to all styles, even though the Wu style has certain unique features. Hean K. Low practices the Chen, Yang and Wu styles.
Liu Jixun is president of the Research Association of Wu style Taijiquan, as well as an instructor in Shanghai. He serves as technical consultant and adviser of Wu style associations in Singapore and the U.S.
Tu-Ky Lam of New Zealand has written for T'AI CHI before and has another useful article, this one about push hands. Everyone knows that following is essential in push hands, but accomplishing it is not that easy, even after years of practice, because there are so many unpredictable unknowns to deal with. Lam gives some hints on how to deal with the unknowns.
Steve Higgins' article on T'ai Chi as a spiritual practice gives an interesting perspective on how we can use T'ai Chi in deeper ways than just accumulating skill or being able to assert ourselves over someone else. Exploring these deeper ways is the best way to protect ourselves from becomin gself-centered and arrogant.
Higgins is a student of Dr. Shen Zaiwen and Jou Tsung Hwa. Higgins said the form shown in the accompanying photos is the "Nei Gong Medium Frame" of Yang Chian Hou, "thus it is the direct ancestor of Yang Cheng-fu's 'Yang 108,' with which we are all familiar.
While preserving many combative movements which are hidden in the later style, this older (Old Yang) form involves an intense use of 'silk reeling' movements of the sort seen in the traditional Chen family Taiji."
I sometimes tell students that Tai Chi Chuan is like food. You have to do it daily to nourish your self. Maren Ielbermann and Michael P. Milburn of Canada give some good advice about food and the Chinese approach to preventative maintenance and as remedies for certain conditions. They are both experts in this field.
Robin Johnson has a lot of experience working with Tai Chi Chuan and swords and he gives some good advice about reworking a sword to get better balance and edge for solo practice or for sparring.
Some of the late Sophia Delza's students wrote in with tributes to their teacher. Her dedication created a loyal following of students over the years.
William Henderson's story, Lo Wang's Gift, is an interesting story with a Tai Chi background and an ironic ending. It is a long story but worth reading.
Many kinds of people come to practice Tai Chi Chuan. Many find its greatest reward in the enthusiasm and the joy they experience. Jo Leach did not start learning Tai Chi Chuan until middle age, but she approached it with a genuine enthusiasm that took her through many years of practice.
Although she was always realistic about her own skills, she was still able to learn a number of advanced forms and techniques. At times she helped me to teach my classes.
She continued to enthusiastically practice T'ai Chi until the symptoms of Parkinson's disease increasingly limited her movement. Her husband, Sterling, called recently to tell me she passed away at the age of 82. I was saddened, but appreciated her fine spirit. There is something in that spirit that we can all learn from and appreciate.·

Etsy Find: Beer Bottom Mobile by Western Art Glass
Now that the sun has finally decided to grace the east coast with its presence for more than a few hours, we're on the lookout for porch décor in honor of some outdoor parties we hope to be having in the near future. This mobile by Western Art Glass is looking kind of cool and even modern — in that funky crafty way — and we're always happy to see a an empty beer bottle put to good use...
Surely not bad to sit underneath while sipping a few brews. The mobile is available from Western Art Glass on Etsy. We found it on cosa verde, a marketplace for handmade, environmentally friendly goods.
5 Comments
Great find! This is beautiful.
Love this! The artist's descriptions are as fun as the pieces!
I like it!
Very cool!
went to etsy to order one of the mobiles & it was sold out! wonder if this was due to the AT plug!

RHINELANDER, Wis. (WXPR) -- A Monday morning car chase ended in a fatal crash. Rhinelander police tried to pull over a car at about 8:30 p.m., but the driver accelerated instead of pulling over. The chase led the officer to the Town of Newbold just outside of the Rhinelander city limits.
The Oneida County Sheriff's Department identified the driver as 27-year-old Sean E. O'Corrain of Rhinelander. Rhinelander Police Chief Michael Steffes says a series of events led to the crash.
O'Corrain died at the scene.
Chief Steffes asks the public to call them if they have any more information about the driver or the incident. Callers can remain anonymous.
The Oneida County Sheriff's Office, Wisconsin State Patrol, and Oneida County Medical Examiner's Office are continuing their investigation into the events surrounding the vehicle crash.

Q: Are there student tips for success?
A: Yes! Here are seven tips for student success:
- Log onto the course website everyday, if possible. At the very minimum, you should be in the course at least 2-3 times per week.
- Check your email frequently for updates from the instructor. If you will not have access to the course for more than a few days, let the instructor know.
- Be active! Stay connected with classmates and the instructor by posting message on the discussion board, asking questions when you need help, or participating in course chats. The more involved you are, the better experience you will have.
- Carefully proofread your writing. Online courses often rely heavily on written assignments, and most instructors assess the quality of your writing.
- Be self-disciplined. Online courses do provide greater freedom and flexibility than face-to-face courses, but you need to stay motivated to be successful. Keep up with assignments and readings. It is difficult to catch up once you fall behind.
- Let your instructor know if you are having problems. Whether you are having difficulty with the technology or the course content, tell your instructor. They are understanding and very willing to help.
- Don't assume online courses are quick and easy. Online courses usually have the same time requirements as face-to-face courses. Many students find that online courses actually require more time and commitment.

Since I've changed to e2 I've found that if I make a mistake and upload the wrong photograph for a competition (or even change my mind!) I can't seem to remove it.AlsoI can't sseem to view what I've already submitted like I used to be able to, on the 'freeby' porfiolio. Have I just not found the right link or is this truely the case? I've just uploaded the wrong pic, purely by accident, so have hance already?
(I may well be asking a question that's already been answered before, but I've found doing a search hasn't helped on this one.If so can I be linked up to that thread please.)
You should be able to go in through your stats page Jude. You'll see a button with number of competition entries, click on that and then the pic you've uploaded, should be line saying delete this photo underneath it.
Thanks K, got it - 'recent activity and stats'. I'm still fumbling around the system.
K, what's the ephotozine link next to your name?
It simply means that she is one of Pete's harem.
When he gets bored at ePHOTOzine Towers, in Worksop and when the claret has done it's job, he clicks his fingers and 'K' slips on the black teddy and slithers over to his side
Barrie, you make me feel quite ill.....less of it you horrible man.

Chevrolet is preparing to enter the 50th GRAND-AM Road Racing Series Rolex 24 at Daytona from January 26-29, 2012 and they've just introduced the car that will be their horse in the race. It's called the Chevrolet Corvette Daytona Prototype and holds true to Chevy's founding principles of racing and performance, presenting a tremendous opportunity for the prototype to be competitive in the GRAND-AM race.
Built as a collaborative project by Chevrolet, Corvette Designers, Pratt & Miller, and GRAND-AM, the Corvette Daytona Prototype infuses plenty of industry expertise in one smoking hot project. The design of this race car was inspired by the MSA GTP Corvette Prototype that was campaigned by Hendrick Motorsports back in the '80s and carries numerous design and styling cues from the street-spec Corvette.
"Racing and performance are the founding principles of Chevrolet, and bringing the Corvette Daytona Prototype to GRAND-AM is a tremendous opportunity," said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet Vice President, Performance Vehicles and Motorsports, "The opportunity for innovation is what makes the Daytona Prototype Class such a good fit for Chevrolet.
"Sports car and endurance racing is an outstanding platform for manufacturers like us to test and learn. The design of this race car incorporates iconic Corvette styling cues and will be immediately recognized by sports car enthusiasts and fans of GRAND-AM Road Racing," he adds, "We are excited to see the Corvette DP compete in the legendary Rolex 24 at Daytona next January."
The Corvette Daytona Prototype will be used by four teams in 2012 including the No. 90 Spirit of Daytona Racing; No. 10 SunTrust Racing; No. 99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Racing; and the Nos. 5 and 9 Action Express Racing teams.

Are your frenemies giving you cancer? It's possible. According to a new UCLA study, bad friends are bad for your health.
Researchers asked 122 healthy adults to keep a diary of social interactions for 8 days. Their findings? Those with negative social experiences had a higher level of inflammatory proteins that can lead to heart disease, depression, and cancer when compared to than those who noted fewer negative experiences.
More from Men's Health:19 Temptaions You Should Resist...Or Indulge
"We think our bodies construe negative social interactions as stressors which create higher levels of harmful inflammatory proteins," says Jessica Chiang, lead researcher, and graduate student at UCLA.
The solution is easy: Cut out toxic people in your life. "Purging these relationships from your life could lower levels of these harmful proteins," Chiang says. Here are three friends you must deal with:
The Fighter
This guy picks to fight every battle -- and you've gotten used to it. Constantly bickering with people can lead to an increase in cortisol, which suppresses the inflammatory processes and inhibits the creation of proinflammatory proteins, the study found. And if you're wondering: Find out why on Earth he's so angry.
The Competitor
There's nothing wrong with a little healthy competition -- it keeps you in check. But the guy you run with on the weekends who's constantly one-upping you, and your work buddy who's always sucking up to your clients? Make some distance. Both leisure and work competition elicit high levels of inflammatory proteins.
The Woman Playing Hard to Get
That girl who only sometimes answers your texts has to go, too. The study found that vying for a romantic partner's attention had similar negative consequences.
The Yes-Man Who Never Does Anything
Surprisingly, stress can come from pretty small things that add up over time -- like your friend who swears he'll give you that 10 bucks/buy the beer next time/pick you up, but you know he's not going to. If you feel like you're overcompensating in a friendship, you probably are.
So how do you break up with a friend? If you've hit your limit and could care less about salvaging the friendship, let it fade. Scale back emails. Take him out of your call rotation. He'll get the point.
Think there might be hope? Keep the conversation short. If you deliver an uppercut at the start and not the end, you'll be about 35 percent more persuasive.(And if you need an exit strategy, check out our list of ideas.)

Call 215-248-8800
High Point serves more than just a cup of joe
There are so many clichés when it comes to describing a coffee shop. Whether it's the perks of working behind the "bar," serving shots of espresso to sleepy caffeine deprived customers or greeting throngs of eager patrons, the images associated with the modern day café are plentiful.
At the High Point Café's two locations in W. Mt. Airy, the clichés have given way to an honest and earnest community-driven enterprise that is reaping its own rewards for its owners, employees and customers.
For four years, Meg Hagele has worked to create a café that is more than a place to fuel up. Regular Todd Bernstein, who grew up in Mt. Airy on Wissahickon Avenue and has made it his home as an adult for six years, the café brought back an energy that was a big part of his childhood.
"I remember the area (by Greene Street and Carpenter Lane) was a pretty vibrant district," he said. "One of my favorite things was going to the tailor with my mom. Mrs. Pack used to give me a penny when she saw me."
Bernstein begins each day with a 7 a.m. visit to the café at Green and Carpenter lanes. He has a "spot" where he takes his cup of coffee and a scone or piece of coffee cake and starts his day chatting with the staff, other regulars and neighbors.
"The High Point has rejuvenated this area and created a central point for this sense of community," Bernstein said.
One the main reasons the High Point Café is successful, said Jason Henschen, who has worked there for more than two years, is Hagele's devotion to community, both the one she has created among the café staff and the larger community of the neighborhood.
Her philosophy is simple: to redefine what success means and to achieve it on her own terms. Henschen points out the company's health plan. More than a policy, the café's workers are offered full health and dental benefits for full time employment (30 hours a week) after six months. Part-time employees are offered the same health plan but at 50 percent. After that each employee is offered $50 a visit for up to eight visits a year to alternative medicine practioners.
"I have a responsibility to them (the staff) as much as they do to me," said Hagele of her philosophy. "I want to create an atmosphere that is mutually fulfilling."
For years, Hagele would attend professional seminars for small business owners through institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania. She found the advice centered around national corporations such as McDonald's.
"I don't have huge profits," she said. "I'm not buying a new car or going to the Bahamas for vacations."
Hagele said she discovered that her definition of success was vastly different than that of someone with a stamp of approval background.
"What is success to me is not necessarily what is success to someone with an MBA from Penn," she said. "For me it's a priority to do what is right. I make a living. I'm able to pay my mortgage."
As one her oldest employees, Theresa McCaffery, manager of the Allens Lane café, put it, "This position claimed me."
McCaffery started with Hagele on a part-time basis in 2006. Originally from Wilmington, she moved to Germantown five years ago. She began working at the café to supplement her income as a full-time office manager at a local nonprofit. Gradually she increased her hours at the café.
"Meg is very selfless," McCaffery said. "She puts employees, the café, the community first."
"I wanted to work at the café full time because its fun," McCaffery said. "I've never worked in such a social environment where the line between server and customer is not really defined. It's one of the best work environments I've ever worked in."
McCaffery said it is more than just good business that encourages the friendly atmosphere.
"People come here the same way as they might go to their corner bar," she said. "It's like the 'Cheers' of coffee shops."
There are approximately 18 staff members who work between two locations — the original café near Weaver's Way Co-op and the recently opened High Point at the Allens Lane train station. Henschen said one of the most rewarding aspects of working at the café is watching Hagele bring out the best in each person.
"Meg allows us to be our own people behind the counter," he said. "She encourages each employee to expand within the café according to his or her talents or desires."
Hagele began her career in coffee as a barrista in Seattle, Wash. She was what so many of her barristas are: an artist-cum-coffee slinger. She made leather handbags and started an artist workshop.
"The café was were I made my living but it also allowed me to have time to do other projects," she said.
It is a value she has preserved for her staff. When Henschen combined his passion for hiking with his conviction about fighting hunger last year, he set off to hike the Pacific Coast Trail to raise money for the Coalition Against Hunger. Hagele created a program to allow café customers to support Henschen through their patronage of the shop.
More importantly, Henschen said it was the connections and relationships he made at the café that provided most of the support he has received and has accounted for 85 percent of the money he has raised.
"The café is my life, not theirs," said Hagele of how she views the relationship between boss and employee. "Jason's hike was an amazing opportunity, and if he were working at a different job he might not have been able to do it."
On Inauguration Day, Hagele chartered a bus for her staff. Each seat was a $50, and because she kept the cafés open that day, she paid the employees who stayed behind doubletime to cover while everyone went to Washington.
"It was only fair," she said.

While speaking at the Canucks Summer Summit Tortorella confirmed that both men will be joining him as assistants behind the bench. He also noted that video coach Darryl Williams and goalie coach Rollie Melanson would be staying on board. Sullivan was Tortorella's assistant while with the New York Rangers and the two have five seasons of experience together there. Sullivan is also a former head coach of the Boston Bruins. Gulutzan who was fired by the Stars after this past season wound up not being out of work very long.
