Day 11

The New Pornographers - Ballad Of The Last Payphone

It may sound like a leftover from "Continue As A Guest" but an ode to some forgotten mode of telecommunication is still brilliant regardless.

M E T R I C

Album: Synthetica

No. 5 | Artificial Nocturne

One of the best album openers ever.

"I'm just as fucked up as they say
I can't fake the daytime
I found an entrance to escape into the dark"

Okay, I have 3....

Joy Williams - Taking Care

Wendy Brenner - Large Animals In Every Day Life (I actually helped pick out the cover) - this was a Flannery O'Connor fiction award winner also.

Wendy Brenner - Phone Calls From The Dead (might be a story in it with some of my real-life events).

Nice! I don't have another MCR selected at this point, however, I also don't have every prompt associated with a song yet either.
