Books much be cheaper to print nowadays because the artist who never met an editor he liked is about to be published.  Ryan Adams, the alt country clown prince who is never one to hold back or do things half ass--like songwriting or performing or heroin--will be hitting the book stores with a tome of poetry.  Perhaps this might be an resourceful creative outlet for Adams and we can all be spared from another "bootleg release" like Suicide Handbook Part 8.

From New Raleigh:

Adams posted on his blog yesterday that a book of prose entitled, Infinity Blues, will be published through “his bosses” at Akashic Books. He sounds pretty excited, kinda like when he launched his rap website.

Too bad he still hasn’t released a North Carolina date on his latest tour.

here’s something - it’s selfish, but inter-cardinal related so……

i woke up today to a great email from my bosses at AKASHIC BOOKS……

INFINITY BLUES- (“domestic-release” working cover)….wow….i guess this dream is coming true…..my grandparents, who taught me to write, and type and dream, i am so proud of all your hard work today, even if this is a long long sad bookbut some funny too, just like those black and white movies in the heat of the eastern seaboard- rolling through the windows of our home…..i am so humbled and so PROUD to be an AKASHIC BOOKS author……

man, this is just crazy, like when i saw the first test pressing of the first 7inch record i was on…..

i feel like i will be able to say i left a little of my heart here, for when i am gone, maybe there will be comfort or safety in there, for people i will never know, for our generations never passing……

i have to maybe go take a nap now. bye. xx
