    music to write to...

    well...i'm done with the writing. for now, that is. jaylib used to work for me too, come to think of it. dan, i know exactly how you feel about transcribing. it has to be the absolute worst. the only thing that beats it in terms of plain horribleness is when you have to translate and listen...

    music to write to...

    i am in an advanced state of procrastination, so i figured i'd be a little less lurky and more talky. i've made quite a habit of getting myself into situations where i am required to write long, esoteric essays. as a result, i have a list of music that helps me write (or, instead, makes me...

    i have been preaching the 7up gospel to most of my friends for quite some time now. just recently i had a conversation about it with a bunch of folks and we were talking about how it differs from present day reality programs. it seems like reality shows want to fit as many events and as much...

    Buju vs Sizzla

    that's all i was trying to say... perhaps i was posturing a little and taking a bit of a position of epistemic privilege, i'll acknowledge that. i'm the last person who would argue for single readings of any work--musical or otherwise. and i don't necesarily think either side of this debate is...
