Directory of Lost Causes

... as they say.

At least, I think that's a common expression. I'm not sure, because I've never really had much occasion to use it.

As you already know, my latest story (or the latest to see the bleary light of day) went online recently at Ligotti Online.

I have further news. Kodagain have been in the studio and the album Letters from Quentin is now in the can. That is, it's been recorded. The final tracklisting (and I believe, but am not sure, this is in the correct order, too) is:

I Am Here With You
Kamakura
Thomas Ligotti
Honolulu
I Looked Back
Princess Kaguya
The Nagai Kafu Way of Life
The Iowa Writers' Workshop Lacks Yuugen
The Parable of the English Businessmen and the Japanese Emperor
Boys and Girls
I Can't Help Smiling
Take This Tip From Me
Annette Funicello
Mushrooms
Creaking Gate

I estimate the running time as approximately 38 minutes and 24 seconds.

The CD will come with a booklet containing lyrics, and sleevenote-like little snippety comments on all the songs from me. I've seen the PDF file for the booklet (almost finished) and it looks fantastic.

Thank you very much to Kodagain:

Sasa Zoric Combe - vocals
Vladimir Ristic Pekar - guitar
Vladislav Dopudja Arci - double bass
Bojan Ristic Pekar - drums

And my apologies once more for not being able to write your names with the correct accents. I'll need to do a proper cut-and-paste for that sometime.

More information on the album is to follow, together with cover art etc., when I have a little time.

I hope also to have other news about creative things soon. Please hold your breath in excitement. But not if you have small lungs.
