I’m still trying to assemble that Walkmen playlist (“trying”) and the volume of Hammy lyrics premised on floating through a hazily recognized current of ennui, sloth, and forgetfulness by making a vague attempt to grab hold of something static through recitations of straight laundry list litanies of soft drinks, booze, chocolates, and cigars consumed and faking half-remembered...

“My New Years DJ name is gone be YEEZY WORLD PEACE! If you book me you have to put YEEZY WORLD PEACE on the E-vite. Or I ain’t spinning.”

Wait, everyone is just now finding out about Ron Paul’s racist newsletters from the 80s? They’re from the 80s though.

So I listened to that song Brad Balkilinked to by that Destroyer band and isn’t that just “Synchronicity II”? People should stop throwing around Steely Dan comparisons. Sting is no Fagen.

'Commenting on the Caverns, Carter put it in...
“We feel like Bohemian Caverns was at one point an integral part of the community and we’d like to bring it back to that point,” explains Brown, “[I]t has intrinsic value. It’s one of the oldest jazz clubs in the same physical space on the planet. I feel that is an important thing to preserve.”
85 years of the Caverns, at All About Jazz.

There’s a very specific circle of hell and it is an endless recording of John Cage at lecture, waxing TO ME while the sycophantic crowd titters at every winking clunker.

It was my bad luck to have to take the collection at early Communion on Sunday, although I was in no condition. I answered the pious looks of my friends with a very crooked smile and then knelt by a lancet-shaped stained-glass window that seemed to be made from the butts of vermouth and Burgundy bottles. I knelt on an imitation-leather hassock that had been given by some guild or auxiliary to...

Update: Tried to eat a Georgetown Cupcake. Nibbled at the stump, threw out about two-thirds of the frosting which is more like a dense gloop of ganache and may as well be a Dove chocolate bar glued on top.

My mother wrote me an email yesterday (from her Aol. account) telling me she was going to the grocery store and asking if I had any special requests for Christmas. Is it so wrong that I wanted to answer, “Can we pretend we’re a Jewish family and just order Chinese instead?”

Convincing myself that the reason I’m not seeing the Wu-Tang tonight is because I need to not become that guy who only goes to exorbitantly priced animatronic museum shows, minus the dead people.
