Uh...wow. Snagged those Poe b-sides 'cos...yeah.

I still feel that woman has a truly great album in her. I'm still waiting for it.

Very cool. I have an odd version of Hey Pretty w/Mark D. that is different from the album version, so I'm glad to grab the album one finally. And some of thwt B side stuff I didn't have. Although I do have her doing a song from Annie Get Your Gun that isn't there...

I nearly plotzed when I first heard Haunted. Then I nearly plotzed again when I heard House of Leaves had ties to it. Both are some of my all-time favorite pieces of media. ;)

I agree, though...I'm waiting for that album too!

I think you gave me a copy of that "Hey Pretty" version at one point...

Still haven't read the new Mark D. yet...I'm sure by default I'm not going to like it as much as HoL, but who knows...

I truly love about a third of Haunted, but I agree the ties to House of Leaves are what make it such an engaging experience. I just wish I could snip out some of the filler songs. The title track is an astounding piece of music, though; still gives me chills when I hear it.

HOL is the only book that ever creeped me out so badly that I had to periodically put it down and walk away. I've had to buy it three separate times - once after my copy fell apart after reading it, once when my husband read it and it fell apart, and then one we now keep on a shelf and never touch...for fear it will fall apart. For a book that required such "active" reading, you'd think they would have bound it a helluva lot better, no? I'm pretty anal retentive about books, so it's not like I was manhandling the thing, sheesh.

Dammit. Now I have to pull out Haunted and listen to it.

The first time I read HOL I was impressed at how believable Zampano's sections were as a movie dissertation. And because of that I coulnd't help but read it as a filmable book. Awhile back I gave my copy to a friend and bought the "newly remastered" version. It's one of those rare books where I would not feel guilty or stupid at all to buy more than one copy.

Back to Haunted, I agree that there are a few filler songs, but the rest of it makes up for that. Also, I found it quite touching how on a completely different note it's also a very deeply personal ode to her dad...and the fact that she managed to have it both ways is mighty impressive.
