Recovering the Train

At Starbucks, trying to get back into working on the novel, after the week plus layoff.

They are playing some awful music on the speakers -- among the worst I've heard. Repetitive, bland hip hip.

I'm right under the speakers. It was the only available table. I can't drown out the bad music.

Here are the next ten songs on my playlist.

1. Paul Bowles (spoken word), "The Sheltering Sky"
2. Dizzy Gillespie, "Jump Di-Le-Ba"
3. Mission of Burma, "Go Fun Burn Man"
4. Kate Bush, "Cloudbusting"
5. Kraftwork, "Chrono"
6. Guitar Wolf, "Jett Beer"
7. Jackie Wilson, "Whispers (Getting Louder)
8. Saint-Saens, "Piano Concerto #2"
9. Wire "The 15th"
10. Arcade Fire, "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)"
