caribou-oooooooooooooooou

listening to the pixies quite a bit, and am in love with caribou,
especially the crazy wailing of the eponymous lyric
listen via youtube (this version won't embed),

inspired by the pixies inspired by the pixies, i bought a copy of david vann's caribou island
i spot-read it and it seemed really good,
turns out, it's really really good. plus p had read the review in the age and it was on his "read me" list... (smh/age review, death in the family, readings review)
so that's 2 for the caribou!
of course, there is the original caribou (see above)

and, while driving and listening to the pixies, p told me about the caribou plane, which is able to fly at very slow speed and is/was ideal for picking up/dropping off troups in tricky locales

the australian government has

scrapped the caribous
abc story,

raaf to scrap 'obsolete' caribou fleet

3 out of 4, ain't bad
