Eddie gave the single best comics presentation I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing back at ICAF ‘99. His mind on the page is but one small sliver of his mind in person; a staggering, friendly, curious and comical genius who I would literally fly across the...

20,000: A Guide to Distinctive Pazz & Jop Votes... →
the20000:
On January 18, the song and album selections of hundreds of music critics and also metal fans will go public in a little thing called the New York Pazz and Jop poll. We’ll close out dozens of sonic mysteries, such as whether Bon Iver’s or Adele’s album was less boring, whether anyone has The Wire’s back re: Lulu, and how many ways we can misspell “Azealia”. We’ll also get some great...

“Listening to Excepter makes you realise how weird ‘rhythm’ really is.
...”
– You know, sometimes you go back to something you’ve written and actually realize that you said what you meant to say, and what you meant to say isn’t totally stupid. It’s a nice feeling.

Like a boss?
Oh, you know, just celebrating that the housemate’s one of the 6-10 people interviewed out of a pool of 418, drinking Flying Monkey Smashbomb Triple IPA, eating short rib beignets. Maybe going to check out a Joy Division cover band at the bar later.

well, technically sherlock would be a love interest too. i wouldn’t say that just cause they’re in love means that it spoils their entire character.
Okay but when 90% of female movie characters are there for the sole purpose of being the love interest for a male character and that is the most...

Boxing Day breakfast at my mom’s is always ridiculous(ly awesome); this year it was eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh orange and pineapple, home made lasagna, and leftover turkey soup. We don’t eat lunch.
(it was the best lasagna I’ve had in years, too)

I too am not at home
When you are gone
And I am here alone.
Until you come
I am as dead, condemned
To fractionhood,
A stillness of the blood,
Dark in the ground.
But I rise up alive
When you come near
Our place of flowers where
Alone I live.
—Wendell Berry, V from A Timbered Choir

“A funny woman, no matter how conventionally lovely, generally has to accept that she’ll also be perceived as a little bit funny looking. When she gets a laugh, she risks subliminally conveying the message that she’s making up for some hidden deficiency, that she’s sad or irreparably broken.”

I am working on a pretty excellent alone drunk, and I am pretty emotional and rapidly getting more so. If you ever wanted to ask some particularly personal or revealing questions, now would be the time.

I wrote two other small things for PopMatters’ end-of-year coverage. A blurb on A$AP Rockey’s “Purple Swag” and one on the reissue of Mark Hollis. Actually I think they’re both pretty good, so I’m just going to put them here too.
There’s plenty of music about getting stoned, and plenty more that sounds like its makers were impaired, but “Purple Swag” might...

A while back, I was trading mixes with my friends Jess and Rebecca, and one of the themes we picked was “bodies.” Because Clinic’s “Distortions” is one of my all-time favourite songs and because body issues aren’t unknown to me, I decided to make the mix a little disturbing, in various ways. Another friend recently asked me to upload it again, so I...
