Read and wrote summaries for chapters four, five, and six. I’m realizing that this album can’t possibly be a strict narrative retelling of the book. I guess I knew that already. In an interview I read last night Stephin Merritt said something to the effect of, “You can’t tell a real story with a song because there just isn’t enough time for character development.” I think he has a valid point and it’s one that will be good to remember during this project. I have had ideas for song titles and I think those will ultimately shape what information is included and what is left out. Title ideas: Settlement Whore, We Are All Addicts, and The Form Destroyer.
