i’ve come out of my cave for this sleep-deprived, coke-zero-fueled post.

i listened to the new death cab track the other day. i thought it was “interesting.” my one seattle friend said it sounded like “phish.” she has sunken into a deep depression.

new portishead is coming out. w00t.

music i’ve liked recently:
born ruffians – they’re kind of catchy, but they’ll make you want to rip your ears off after the 20th listen.
cat power – her voice sounds like hard liquor and smoke-scarred lungs. i love it.
cadence weapon – it’s fun rap that is kind of smart, too. he also used to write for pitchfork and stylus. that strikes me as strange.

two of my favorite releases of this year are city and colour and british sea power.

books and stuff:
middlesex – it’s super epic and lyrical and has more period detail than your favorite keira knightley flick.
only revolutions – whaattttt?
clarissa – yawn. i appreciate some of the irony, but i think i just hate the epistolary form.
king lear – i finally read this. it’s so money.

short fiction, the art form:
tc boyle, all the time
aryn kyle
