SOUND / RIP Luciano Pavarotti

I knew you only from this:

which makes me think being 10 years old, watching Italia '90, with everyone in the schoolyard trying to copy David Platt the next morning:

When I think of (and play) football, I hear "Nessun Dorma."

EVENTS / The Delta Brilliant (05) - Earthquake

Andi and I are back from Los Angeles where we encountered 107° heat, a parking ticket, and a small earthquake.

Now safely back in Brooklyn, we're resuming The Delta Brilliant. Stop by this Sunday, September 9 from 5–8 p.m., for the usual cheap drinks, seasoned fries, and random sounds. We hope to see you there.

Check out www.thedeltabrilliant.com for more information.

BOOKS / Judging By Covers

bookcovers1.jpg

People are apparently reading less. I may have only read about six books so far this year, but I've not stopped paying attention to the covers in the store.

Three covers which caught my eye of late are those illustrated above. While I catch up on work—and this site—I've presented them here for you to admire too. As I have no clue what they're about*, I've given links to Amazon and their mini-sites for your perusal.

Left, Tana French's In The Woods (Viking)
Buy from Amazon / Publisher's Page

Middle, Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
Buy from Amazon / Publisher's Page

Right, Joshua Ferris' Then We Came to the End: A Novel (Little, Brown and Company)
Buy from Amazon / Publisher's Page

What covers are you enjoying? And leave a comment if you've read any of the above.

* Trust me, if I had time to read a book review I'd have time to read more books.

My cousin James has finally started cataloging his nation treasure - the Dodgy Boozer.

If it moves, dodge it.

SOUND / Introducing The Delta Brilliant

h-deltabrilliant.gif

No plans on Sunday? Come down to our local for some cheap drinks, great music, and perhaps even jalapeno poppers. We're starting a series of Sunday Socials at Abilene called The Delta Brilliant, from 5–8 p.m. Expect an eclectic mix of sounds from 60s soul to space rock, and French Pop to J-Pop. You can even play a game of Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit since we'll keep the volume at a conversational level.

Check out the flyer at www.thedeltabrilliant.com where you will be enticed by $3 beers. For the more daring, you can down pints of margaritas and bloody marys for a mere $6.

Abilene is located at 442 Court St, at the corner of 3rd Place in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The nearest trains are the F and G at Carroll Street, which is a 15 minute ride from downtown Manhattan, leaving you only 2 blocks from the bar. There are apparently buses too, for those who understand the map.

The Delta Brilliant
Sunday at Abilene, 442 Court Street, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
5–8 p.m.

h-24doll.jpg

men.style.com has a great set of videos showcasing innovative stores in Tokyo. Tim Blanks checked out Project 1/6 and discovered Jack Bauer dolls from Fox's "24" show. They beat a guard dog any day.

Watch Project 1/6. Tokyo
