Fan-ish questons for Owen Pallett:
1. I just noticed, in the lyrics for "Library," there's a reference to a "J. Henry Waugh." Is this the same JHW of Robert Coover's underappreciated masterpiece The Universal Baseball Association, J. Henry Waugh, Prop.?? Or could there be a real JHW? Was it you or Reg who wrote that lyric? What other books are being talked about in the song? Or is that something you want to reveal?
2. About He Poos Clouds: does this title have anything to do with Teratoid Heights, by Mat Brinkman, where one of his monsters also poos clouds? Or is it just something both of you would know about, independent of each other, and which I don't get?
Just curious!

J. Henry Waugh -> yes! The song was originally much longer and went into more detail some of the characters from Pricksongs and Descants, but it was cheesy so I cut it.
I haven't read Mat Brinkman.
