The Queue
The Dylan Dog Case Files is a collection of a Dark Horse miniseries republication of the Italian comic book Dylan Dog, written principally by Tiziano Sclavi & drawn by a clutch of different artists. Though I've previously exempted comics books from listing in "The Queue," Case Files is nigh-on seven hundred pages long, fully qualifying as a book for our purposes. Though mindful that it has a due date by which it must be returned to the library, I shall take took my (newly) usual interlude to read some of my backlog of Hellboy & B.P.R.D. comics. Once I'm caught up on those, I've a backlog of Usagi Yojimbo that requires attention.

Brian Carpenter's Ghost Train Orchestra, "Mojo Strut" from Hothouse Stomp: The Music of 1920s Chicago and Harlem (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Hothouse Stomp was another finalist for my 2011 Album of the Year. The Ghost Train Orchestra sounds unlike anything else in my library, a gloriously delightful oddity.
