To promote What Rhymes With Bastard?, a memoir scheduled for late-summer publication, MacAdam/Cage will be handing out CDs at BookExpo America with some original songs written by the author, Linda Robertson, in her capacity as the accordionist for Cotton Candy Cabaret, a San Francisco-based cabaret act. The lyrics to “Heavy Petting in the Great Outdoors,” the track that was emailed to me as an advance preview, make it completely NSFW, so we won’t be showing that off to you, but you can download some songs from their website. Or, visit their the band’s MySpace page, which features a streaming version of “No Butts,” another slightly risqué song slated to appear on the CD.
Naturally, an extract from the memoir printed in the Sunday Times in late March (the book’s already out in the U.K.) has NSFW bits in it, too. Boy, the reading tour is going to be fun.
(If anybody else is planning to give stuff away besides the usual galleys and book bags, and wants to give us a sneak peek, that’d be cool.)
