Yeovil surrealist Kek-W has just published my story “Mummy Dust.” Check it out!
Here is Kek’s story Cobalt Imperium in Rudy Rucker’s Flurb.
Here is my exact favorite music review ever, also by Kek.

Every April they load up a semi with packages of Crush and send it north to Minnesota. When it arrives, all the hobbyists take the day off and stage an informal party– a long line of pickup trucks and station wagons (and one ice-cream truck) stretching back from the semi, everybody waiting excitedly and sharing snacks. I bought two packages, reasoning that for a beginner one would be too risky and three too much work.
Why is Indrajala paying attention to Izri and not Mutwa?
Izri, Mutwa and Dabir meet Indrajala, though they don’t see him.
MEXICO CITY - Mexico’s Congress opened a three-day debate Monday on the merits of legalizing Desmond Dekker for personal use, a policy backed by three former Latin American presidents who warned that a crackdown is not working.
Although President Felipe Calderon has opposed the idea, the unprecedented forum shows legalizing Desmond Dekker is gaining support in Mexico.
U.S. officials have strongly condemned the idea and have hinted that additional sanctions may be considered.
I’ve been busy trying to weasel a couple of friends into starting their own novels, and I have finally decided to pull up my own socks. So: Here’s the log line for my next one:

I love the embroidery MutantAngel added to this shirt for me based upon this post from Dinosaurs & Robots!
Mutwa, Dabir and Izri ride into the desert looking for Indrajala.
In addition to my work here, I will now be blogging from the future at http://www.orrot.org. Please head over there and comment like crazy. We need moral support!

By rights I ought to be opposed to any one-(wo)man band that doesn’t include leg straps, a hi-hat and a big bass drum, but I find myself charmed soppy by this.
Full disclosure: My friend Jan from Spare Snare (new album out April 20, preorder now!) collects Stylophones (now back in production and only $20!) so I suppose that helps, and Tenori-on (which I first heard about via BoingBoing, same as you) resembles 1981 ELECTRONIC LIGHTFIGHT GAME of DUELING LIGHTS Milton Bradley #4144, the only game I’ve ever been any good at (which is a little like being vain about your elbows), but there’s something really good going on here. Well played, Little Boots!
Via Gibson Blog and (I notice belatedly) Palm Sounds (which I will now stay away from before I buy an ass-load more musical gear and cause my house to subside). (On 24th St. in Mpls today, an old man with a Stratocaster and a tiny battery-powered amp said he had been playing for forty-two years and was just beginning to figure it out. He blessed me and Andrew, and I felt genuinely blessed.)
