DESIDERATUM

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

As I was falling asleep I came to the conclusion that if I’m going to going to get some a-level gash at “THE PREMIERE EVENT IN NEW YORK CITY TONIGHT” (according to Nat) I should probably dress like a normal human being. The rationale being–of course–that looking like a not-bum can help me get my [...]

SUNDAY MIX TAPE – VOLUME 5

Sunday, February 26th, 2006

Today I hung out with my dear friends Sam and Lindsey. We met up in the city and had a nice meal. They wanted to go shopping for comics so we went to Forbidden Planet for a few minutes while they geeked out and I looked at all the toys I couldn’t imagine anyone ever [...]

TIMOROUS

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Good morning. I’m finally ready to start my day after listening to records in the nude for three hours and sifting through this blog.

Melt Face/It Came from Above (featuring Ilya on percussion, Ian on effects, me on bass/vocals)
I got a nice [...]

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006

A lot of book news to report today, as two new men have given me the proverbial thumbs-up to interview them in the near future.
At the totally un-rock n’ roll hour of 10am I talked with Steve Albini. It’s okay, we spoke over landlines so the conversation was totally analog. I quickly went over the [...]

FASCICLE

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

I thought I was going to have some surprises for you today. I don’t have any book news because I’m still waiting on two responses from possible contributors who will remain anonymous until I find out one way or another. The first comic hasn’t been completed, either, so there won’t be anything funny for you [...]

FLEECE

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

For a kid without a paying writing gig, my cheap (read: free) ideas sure do get ripped off a lot. A few months ago it was VICE getting all uppity over the ‘boomers and their plot to ruin the world for younger generations. Shit, that was one of the reasons I started this blog. I’ve [...]
