July July
It never seemed so strange. About this time last year a dj at one of the radio stations I listen to played the song July July by the Decemberists,
The Decemberists - Wikipedia. Though from a previous year it became one of my favorite songs last year. A month or so ago I became aware that there was also a novel titled July July by Tim O'Brien
July, July - Google Book Search. I resolved to read this book in this July (and have been). It brings up the question, where does Colin Meloy get his ideas from? He has a song called "a song forMyla Goldberg." The Decemberists once did an entire ep called the Tain; A version of the Dun Cow of Ulster. Coming up he intends to put the Japanese folk tale the Crane Wife to music in a song cycle Colin Meloy Talks New Decemberists Album. Does O'Brien's July July seem to have inspired the Decemberists. Not directly, though both have their share of ghosts. So its a ghost story then? Well no.
