Audiovile & Poedown – Now Streaming in Digital Audio!

I've been busy over the past few months with work for Mastication Publications. Finally, it's time to dish out what's been cooking all this time. A lot of it has been on the AUDIOBOOK front. I'm happy to report that this weekend, you can stream the gore on the new page at bandcamp! Just go to http://arnzen.bandcamp.com and click around -- you can listen for free a few times, so sample widely. I'll embed some players below so you can get a quick listen.

More on “Please Publish My New Adult Coloring Book: GTFU”

Today my short parody, "Please Publish My Adult Coloring Book: Grow the F*ck Up!" is featured on McSweeney's Internet Tendency.  I'm perversely proud of this, for some reason.  Mostly, I think, because it validates my thinking that this silly piece actually contains a great idea for a book! However, I am also sensitive to the notion that adult coloring books have therapeutic value. When my dad had a stroke, this was something I bought him to help retrain motor memory and create even though debilitated.  I also think coloring is fun, and it's kind of cool when groups of people…

Lindemann’s ‘On Quiet Nights’ Released

Till Lindemann -- frontman from the German metal band Rammstein, also releasing a promisingly twisted new solo album this month -- has just published the English translation of his poetry collection, On Quiet Nights (aka In Stillen Nachten), through my favorite indie publisher, Raw Dog Screaming Press. I wrote the forward for this edition of the book, which I had the chance to read in original German as well as English. The poems make for a very unique read. Here's an excerpt from my intro: Poetry is about sound as much as it is about sense. Rammstein reaches a worldwide…
