The Lovely Sparrows

We have not vanished! I’ve been working on a few non-Sparrow related things as-of-late, a couple of documentary soundtracks, finished recording the Robert Ellis record (I think it’s a great record. Robert is the moustached gentleman in some of our tour pics), hanging out with the dogs, and curling up with good books. I can tell you I/we are working on something that I’m really excited about for the fall. But I won’t say more than that right now! I will, however, give you a list of books that I’ve been enjoying… kind of catching up on several “must reads” that I’ve missed along the way.

1. Ham On Rye- I had always heard Bukowski was a pretentious asshole, who wrote books for pretentious people. I’m not sure what this says about me that I really enjoyed it, and thought it was fun.
2. The Neverending Story- Don’t laugh. It’s really good. You need the version with green and red ink.
3. All Families Are Psychotic
4. The Plot Against America
5. Henderson the Rain King

Best,
Shawn
