i like Tori Amos up through The Choir Girl Hotel, if I'm being honest i am almost done J. Edgar Wideman's Writing to Save a Life. it is about Louis Till, father of Emmett Till, who was hanged by the US Army in Italy on rape and murder charges. Really good. J Edgar Wideman mixes non-fiction...

Jean Michel Jarre is coming to a venue down the street from my house worth going you think?

i just hate amanda palmer's persona, music, and fans. see: http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/amanda-palmers-accidental-experiment-with-real-communism really disappointing that NG would be a walking shill for her.

teenaged years for me was reading sandman comics and vonnegut books. i did read Good Omens as a teen but i've been put off of Gaiman lately because of all the Amanda Palmer stuff. my ex girlfriend* picked up KV at the airport and drove him to a reading and back she said something about him that...

without video games, it is hard to imagine what Burial would sound like. i understand a lot of the percussive sounds are from video games - the sounds of weapons reloading and shell casings dropping to the ground.

really? i am surprised at this. my kids are always listening to ambient on account of the C148's soundtrack to Minecraft

my dentist was the bassist in this influential christian thrash band:

i'm reading ben ratliff's every song ever halfway through it now and it has been rewarding in the sense that my musical education (the various phases of my interests in music) has well prepared me for the various references the author makes and he mentions a bunch of bands and singers that i...

^ yes! and Story of O and Delta of Venus

as a teenager, i enjoyed Nicholson Baker's Vox and Fermata. Both are probably extremely dated right now. The first is about phone sex, which... doesn't happen anymore, does it? In the latter, the narrator sexualizes the keyhole of the trunk of a car (carboot?) - that's kind of not a thing...

i love jaws i can't flip past it when it is on TV i revisited Halloween II and it was not good managed to miss what was scary about the original too much exposition and not enough suburban dread

love that album i watched the stones throw doc and they talked about madlib's love for magic mushrooms makes perfect sense as for psychedelic hip hop albums, the eponymous cLOUDEAD album (that collects all those 10"'s) has got to be in the top three

YES! me too logged a lot of hours buried in those how's the third? i've never looked at it

ah, Billy Budd! didn't get through that for some reason. i've noticed that novellas are hard for me to finish unless i am totally gripped by the story. maybe because i feel i've got no skin in the game with a short book.
