Amp'd by Ken Pisani A fun read about a guy who loses his arm. You would think losing an arm isn't funny but this story was a quirky rollicking read. Packed with an alligator, radio talk show host, a kid with cancer and a mom who dates a younger local fireman. Enjoyable!

“All thumbs up. I admired the voice, the quirkiness of the situation, the quickness of pace, and your characters possess a tenderness that is saving. AMP’D falls into a tradition of voice: Vonnegut comes to mind, but so does J.P. Donleavy, Catcher in the Rye, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, A Fan’s Notes. It feels like a modern novel with modern issues.”

— Joseph Monninger, author of fourteen novels and three nonfiction books, two-time NEA fellowship recipient

A little too self-consciously “wacky” for me.  Better than Silver Linings Playbook, though!  (I could not resist the above blurb.)

Ken Ishii - "Extra"

Still a late night classic as a track and a video. Wonderful memories of watching this on MTV Amp'd as a boy.
