The design was inspired by the most unreadably archaic kinds of American print journalism, without even their excuse of maximizing eyeball contact with the ads. Great content though. |

For the past two or three years now, all the Murder Ballads essays there have had the additional option of a "read as single page" link. Even in the old format, I was only asking you to click through to the next page every 1,200 words or so, which doesn't seem all that onerous to me. My Murder Ballads book, Unprepared To Die, is available from Soundcheck Books here.. Greil Marcus called it "a dauntingly complete and fascinating piece of work". |
