Last.fm says I should listen to Department of Eagles, Daniel Rossen (of Grizzly Bear)’s band. I think I should, too. This song just gave me my happy feeling back. Yay!

Other cool stuff: The tenth issue of Cabinet des Fées is now up and there’s a lovely selection of poems, short fiction and articles to read. I was very pleased to note that Erzebet had also acquired a nifty article about Shirley Lim and the Hang Li Po legend for this issue. There’s also a teaser for the project that we’ve been working on and which I’m really excited about, so hopefully I’ll get some time in June to finish writing the article for it. I’m also beyond thrilled to bits that not only did we (I feel a little goofy saying “we” within this context, given I’ve been a fan of CdF for so long!) get mentioned on Terri Windling’s blog, but my name got stuck in there as well. Brain. Cannot compute!

These are the things that are good for happy making. Because one must be happy in order to be productive!

Oh, more new music for me to explore, My Brightest Diamond. Lovely!

New painting in progress. Been painting all day, I really need to cook at some point!

But first, my favourite recent music news, care of rss feeds via Google Reader – all my favourite music/indie music sources in one place, I’ve been going crazy over this lately! Also, that got me into Digg, and then ChamberK over at S’march recommended Last.fm to me. This does not bode well

Was OK Computer inspired by Thom Yorke’s Coursework Nightmare?
Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’ Made into a Radio Play (Note: If anyone can tell me how I can get my grubby little fingers on this, I will be eternally grateful. I may not name my hypothetical first-born after you, but I will sing your praises loud!)
New Portishead album a day from completion ( I cannot tell you how profoundly excited I am over this!)

And that’s all from me. Back to painting, cooking and reading.
