READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 Notify my next of kin

Found (with some help from Mr. Huddell and Mr. Berman) some fantastic versions of two songs from The Basement Tapes.

Joan Baez, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
The Byrds, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
The Byrds, "This Wheel's on Fire"
Dylan and the Band, "This Wheel's on Fire"
Dylan and the Band, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
The Rave-Ups, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
Robyn Hitchcock, "You Ain't Goin Nowhere"
Julie Driscoll, "This Wheel's on Fire"
Julie Driscoll, "The Season of the Witch"

I compiled a video playlist of most of these songs on YouTube -- particularly recommend checking out the almost hallucinatory quality of the two The Byrds versions and the really striking fan video for the Rave-Ups' version. And the Venus 3 number, while it strays a bit from the theme of the playlist, fits in quite nicely and fits into a broader playlist theme of "Songs I would wish to cover". (Plus some bonus tracks added, if you listen to the end...)
