Posthuman Blues

One really cool thing about having a presence on the Web: I tend to get neat things in the mail. Today I got free copies of Zakas' long-awaited new album, "Illegitimus Non Carborundum"; I supplied background "lyrics" for the song "God's Black Space," about cosmic coverups and ruins on Mars. Also included was an appropriately sinister Zakas T-shirt with art by fantasy artist Brom.




Cute, huh?


Last but not least, I got a fuzzy microbe inspired by the alleged nanobacteria found in a chunk of Martian rock several years ago. It looks like a red maggot with beady black eyes. I'm thinking this would look good hanging from my rear-view mirror.
