Brandon Boyd
 From the Murks of the Sultry Abyss (Volume 2) $99.90 I am a huge Incubus fan. I haven't yet read White, Fluffy Clouds, though I definitely intend to. But I have just read Brandon Boyd's second book, From the Murks of the Sultry Abyss, with tremendous pleasure. It is thought-provoking, funny, acerbic, and quite beautiful, a total treat for both the mind and the senses. Brandon Boyd is a true Renaissance man-- an incredible singer and lyricist, but also a gifted artist and writer and a really decent, ethical human being. And in this second book of his, there is so much to enjoy. I hope he will put pen to paper and write a third someday. I would like to make an alternative suggestion for buying either or both of these wonderful books, instead of paying exorbitant Amazon prices. Instead, buy each of them for $38 through the band's very worthy Make Yourself Foundation: http://myf.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/artist?sourceCode=INCMYF&categoryName=All+Products&artistName=Incubus Or you can purchase them at that same price through the band's official website: http://www.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/fanfire.woa/wa/artist?artistName=Incubus&sourceCode=SNYINC Either way, a portion of the cost goes towards the Make Yourself Foundation, which in turn benefits many wonderful charities that Incubus supports. It's what Brandon would want you to do! :-)  Hers Is Beauty $12.95 This is not the Brandon Boyd from Incubus, however, it's a pretty cool book. But definitely not the same intellectual fool.  Incubus: Look Alive $12.98 I originally bought the standard single DVD edition of "Look Alive" because, 1.I LOVE this Band! 2.New concert footage of this band! But what I did not know was that there was a limited CD/DVD version of it at Best Buy stores. Well, when I found this out naturally it piqued my interest. It turns out the cd consists of 11 original scores created for the dvd by guitarist Mike Einziger and heard at different parts within the dvd. All of the scores are stand-out tracks and great for an Incubus collection. The cd also includes 6 bonus live tracks including the new songs Punch Drunk and Look Alive. --Bottom Line-- Buy the CD/DVD version of "Look Alive" even if it is a few dollars more. Also the DVD is Region 0 so no matter where you buy it from the DVD will work on your player. Thanks, And I hope this was helpful. :-) |
