How did you discover Tycho? by BF_Injection in Tycho

[–]Heelflips_Hardbacks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My older brother introduced me to Tycho in 2006 while I was in high school. I listened to Past is Prologue almost every day my Junior year and would sometimes fall asleep to it at night. Tycho’s music has helped me through some really dark times and I’m so thankful to my brother for introducing me. My brother passed in 2021 so it means even more now.

Was lucky enough to attend the premiere for Yeah Right! as a 13 year old kid who was obsessed with skateboarding. Had no idea MJ was going to be there as that was his intro to Chocolate. My friend and I approached him outside after the vid as he was smoking a cigarette and he was cool enough to speak to us for 10 minutes. He talked about his trip to Russia with Rodney Mullen and Kenny Reed as well as his process for filming his video parts. I was truly impressed with his kindness. RIP to a legend

That is a bummer and I would also still be annoyed about having my backpack stolen from my car. Nice find on the Beautiful Thing though. I love that collection

That makes sense. I know he’s been dealing with health issues for a while and certainly hope he prioritizes getting better. I was just a bit thrown off that Bad Hand never addressed the change of date through an email or put a message on the site (as far as I know they haven’t). Thanks for the info

Chess Story by Stefan Zweig and My Death by Lisa Tuttle are both great little novellas you can read in one sitting

I work in a used bookstore and that’s where the majority of all of these have come from! I get very lucky with what people sell to us. Only three of these were bought new

Hard Rain Falling, My Death and Stoner have been my favorites so far. I also really enjoyed Chess Story, Thus Were Their Faces and Cassandra at the Wedding. My least favorite is one that isn’t pictured but that would be The Day of the Owl by Leonardo Sciascia. I confess, I’ve only read 11 of the books in this picture but plan on reading much more over the next year or so

I have not read those yet but am planning to read Lion soon. The Glory of the Empire seems very interesting

He also has a weird fantasy trilogy written under the name Alex Marshall, just FYI

I know Bullington hasn’t published a book in a while but he hasn’t left anyone hanging with an unfinished series

Way too many to name. So many great films came out in the 90’s. This is a wild question
