Fiction, Me
revising the novel (1)
The interesting thing about looking at your notes on the first draft of your novel after a span of a few months? The fact that some of them seem to make no sense whatsoever.
8. Scritti Politti were a collective.
I genuinely have no idea how this applies to this novel. (The next one is another story, [...] -
Film, Me
in which I talk Elliott Gould
My recap of a recent Elliott Gould Q & A at BAM is now up at the Tribeca Film Festival’s site, for what it’s worth.

Me, Music
freud might have a field day; on the other hand, he might be swept up by the overlap of pras and yo la tengo
I’m not sure what it says about my subconscious mind that the last genuinely vivid dream I had involved a discussion of the legal issues surrounding the new Girl Talk album. A friend and I were sitting at a bar — I’m pretty sure it was the Pencil Factory — and we talked copyright law [...]

more stuff what I wrote
In this case, my take on The Dutchess and The Duke’s “Reservoir Park”. Paper Thin Walls brings it.

Me, Music
rampant self-promotion: anticon-related edition
I reviewed SJ Esau’s “Depth Perception Lack” for Paper Thin Walls. Oh yes.

“keep doing it, jerks!”
Chad Matheny may well be a genius.
An angry genius? Maybe. But a genius.

kinsellaology
I have a review of Joan of Arc’s “A Tell-Tale Penis” up at Paper Thin Walls, along with a brief q & a with Tim Kinsella. (Obligatory link to my JOA-inspired short story “Party Able Model” here.)
One question-and-answer that was cut from the final version that appeared on PTW was this, which also delves slightly [...] -

seattle: talking politics and music
It’s been quiet around these parts lately because I’ve been working on my paper for this year’s EMP Pop Conference. I’ll be heading to Seattle tomorrow evening, and speaking on Saturday. The abstract of my paper is below, if you’re curious:
Saturday, April 12th
“Vote Music” panel (2:00-3:45 pm) / Demo Lab
“‘I’ve Got A Name’: AK Press, [...] -

exfoaliation
03.31.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI reviewed Foals’ “Balloons” for Paper Thin Walls.
