I’m not much of a celebrity hater, but Big Miracle’s trailer really makes me want to push Drew Barrymore down the stairs. trailers.apple.com/trailers/unive…
Wolves in the Throne Room - Celestial Lineage
Excellent review of what may be my favorite record of the year.
Dear musicians: Stand by your documents. Reissues with remasters, alternate takes, live versions, etc make you the George Lucases of music.
It’s been a year and it’s still not real. I miss my dad so much.
These are revolutionary times, and nobody really knows what they’re doing.

Roulette Grand Opening Gala
Staff at a new venue giddily pulled us off the street for the final moments of a Fred Frith performance. I ❤ Brooklyn. roulette.org
Stellar weekend in the mountains of western North Carolina with moonshine, bluegrass, and @ AVL Asheville Municipal gowal.la/c/4UHR9
Hey everyone! In the unadvisable event that you ever deal with Thrifty Rent-A-Car, bring some brass knuckles. If not for you, then for me.

Just realized I actually really like MJ’s “Man in the Mirror”. @ The Belgian Cafe gowal.la/c/4SFWM
Philly people: hit me up if you wanna do happy hour. Also, is it just me, or does the Schuylkill look grosser than usual?
Upon hearing that Morgan Spurlock interviewed Greg Gillis, I mistakenly assumed there would be a documentary about IP law. Sad I was wrong.
Seriously, why on earth would you include ligatures in a monospace font?
Apropos of nothing, it’s all goth and darkwave on my speakers today. It’s keeping the skies cloudy so far.

Woke up to someone—presumably an adult in the year 2011—publicly blaring Debbie Gibson’s “Only in My Dreams”.
Black Dots
Scratch Acid reunion tour announced. This will make fifteen reunion shows for me in two years. Do I now qualify to join AARP?
Epic “Back to the Start” Stop-Motion Ad for Chipotle (Plus Bonus Making-Of Goodness)
