Most of my listening still draws on music I was exposed to before the age of about 25. For a long time, I believed that I was too old to fall in love with any new-found music. But Hawkwind, whom I never listened to as a younger person, fits so well into my taste palette that I love their music as if I'd known it since the age of 13. (Perhaps it's no coincidence that I was a devoted reader of Michael Moorcock as a boy.) <br />Thanks also for "Suzy, Led Zeppelin, and Me," which was my first introduction to your writing. <br />Sincerely,<br />Alex in New YorkMudarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126108092571043357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-55235488575636274362009-07-27T18:32:17.924+01:002009-07-27T18:32:17.924+01:00Hey, Martin, I quoted part of this post and used t...Hey, Martin, I quoted part of this post and used the album photo in my post about Apple getting into eBooks.<br /><br /><a href="http://ebooktest.blogspot.com/2009/07/apples-absolutely-brilliant-ebook.html" rel="nofollow">Apple's Absolutely Brilliant eBook Strategy</a><br /><br />I hope you were their inspiration!Mike Canehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396654716615965650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-70312244572542289322009-02-23T11:30:00.000+00:002009-02-23T11:30:00.000+00:00Speaking of Thraxas, when is the next one coming o...Speaking of Thraxas, when is the next one coming out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-72149220578543922882009-02-20T17:48:00.000+00:002009-02-20T17:48:00.000+00:00the reality never lives up to our memories. someti...the reality never lives up to our memories. sometimes that makes me really sad. but congratulations on the good review! where it rightly belongs. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-19520052532282321912009-02-20T14:29:00.000+00:002009-02-20T14:29:00.000+00:00Got carried away there meant to say currently read...Got carried away there meant to say currently reading Lonely Werewolf Girl after a long Millar-less break punctuated only by the re-reading Love & Peace with Melody Paradise every year or so.

So what's there to be unhappy about?<BR/><BR/>You should be lying on your bed, dreaming of your youth, listening to Hawkwind, cradling the World Fantasy Award in your hands and realize that, no, it's not such a bad world after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-5775821849230752512009-02-19T23:26:00.000+00:002009-02-19T23:26:00.000+00:00Congratulations on the review, I read it on the NY...Congratulations on the review, I read it on the NY Times website, it's very good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35151686.post-66560792977077861382009-02-19T18:52:00.000+00:002009-02-19T18:52:00.000+00:00I'm currently reading Milk, Sulphate and Alby Star...I'm currently reading Milk, Sulphate and Alby Starvation, and loving it.
