Nobody Even There to Bluff (2014)

It seems redundant at this point--I’ve already posted on Facebook and ILX--but I should make note here of the book I just self-published, Interrupting My Train of Thought. It collects stuff from here, various ‘90s fanzines, Nerve, year-end ballots, Facebook countdowns, rockcritics.com, the Voice, Cinemascope, and elsewhere. Originally I was aiming to keep it around 350 pages, but because of a formatting error (I initially had the margins set incorrectly) and publishing costs that ended up being much less than I expected, it runs around 450 pages. I’m glad--it’s a one-time thing, so may as well get as much in there as possible. Scott Woods and Tim Powis (editing), Karen Watts (cover art), Vaughn Dragland (layout), and Rob Sheffield (foreword) all helped make the book exactly what I’d hoped it would be.

You can buy it from Amazon (here's the Canadian link, but the book is also available from other countries).

Two other links:

A fantastic website set up by Scott;

A Spotify playlist that Jer Fairall has been nice enough to set up (replacing the dead Grooveshark playlist), with over 150 songs from the book and growing. I've spent the last year making fun of Spotify playlists ("Is there a playlist? Is there a playlist?"), but now I have my own, so everything's okay.

(Interrupting My Train of Thought deathwatch: 54 copies sold.)
