Fabulist!

LAND OF MUSIC

Like the Belle & Sebastian book, I love the idea of art inspiring art. It makes the world seem smaller. You wrote a song? I'll write a book about it. You wrote a book? I'll make a CD! One big happy family.

The forthcoming CD from Dancing Ferret has a bushel of songs inspired by the works of Mr. Neil Gaiman, including tracks from Future Bible Heroes and Rasputina. The album's not out till July 18th, but Patrick from Dancing Ferret has sent us an exclusive advance track for your listening pleasure. Or listening glee. Or listening jubilation. Your pick, but either way go preorder the album, because it's what all the cool kids are doing.

Lunascape - Raven Star

(The song is inspired by the book Stardust, which you should go read now before they go do something sneaky like make it into a film.)

I tend to be dubious about these things, but I must admit that "I, Lucifer" the album by The Real Tuesday Weld, inspired by "I, Lucifer" the book by Glenn Duncan, convinced me that these things can actually be quite fun.

Plus, that's where the Bathtime in Clerkenwell song / video full of mad cuckoos is from, which is really quite something.
