so i guess it’s never too early to start my birthday and/or christmas list right?? ryan adams is releasing a book, “infinity blues.” i don’t know when it’s being released, where, or whatever but i want it, please. ryan writes about the book on his blog:

“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”

say what you want, but i can’t wait to read it.  i love reading artists’ books, i think they tend to reveal things they never would otherwise.   if it’s half as well-written as his song lyrics, then it will be nothing short of amazing.
