Literary Reading Improvement Tip #269: Have one rock & roll band for every reader.

On October 16, author Mike Edison put together a crack team of writers and musicians, a night of "literary mayhem" that included writer Jonathan Ames, Happy Endings founder and novelist Amanda Stern, and the comic essayist Rachel Shukert.

The night also featured a set by the Lost Crusaders, and the manic front-man Jon Spencer joined forces with Edison--a rock & roll experiment entitled the Rocket Train Delta Science Arkestra. Re-live the experience in GalleyCat's exclusive lo-fi video.
