Procrastination Station #72
Links that have kept me alive this mad week.
I’ve been reading about mondegreens! Check out these, these and more here.
Marvel’s Tom Brevoort speaks frankly about hiring writers (though I wish he could spell “the”).
Picador has launched a special prize for unpublished poets!
The bookfoxes reckon Poetry Still Matters
Wigtown Poetry Contest 2010 winners — some cool poems here.
Great news for women in motorsport.
My sister told me she saw this and thought of me! (so true…)
Creepy. (Read this great article on 500 Days of Summer, by the way. Whether you made the mistake of seeing it or not…)
And I’ve been crushing on loads of new music recently, thanks to several sweet boys of my acquaintance, and their mix-CD-making skillz. Here’s a sample of my new discoveries…
(Weird-but-kind-of-awesome video. Great song. Thanks Richard.)
(Also weird, but I love The Books. Thanks Struan.)
(And Broken Records, brilliant little Scottish band. Thanks a million, Grant!)
(Think you can do better? I always love receiving mixtapes and mix-CDs. If you make me one, I’ll make you one! Drop me a line to claire@onenightstanzas.com!)
Have a great weekend!
Don’t forget to visit The Read This Store, and its sister store, Edinburgh Vintage!

I was looking for crucial information on this subject. The information was important as I am about to launch my own portal. Thanks for providing a missing link in my business. Rockers like Richie Valens and Jerry Lee Lewis grew from the ripe musical spawning ground of southern blues music.
