Can’t believe James Gandolfini (RIP) was only 51. That means Season 1 Tony Soprano was as old as I am now. I will play Tony in the reboot.

Passed a high school graduation ceremony this morning and got genuinely excited for the students to leave it behind. Fuck high school.

A contract with 7,000 words of legalese is, psychologically speaking, a terrible way to begin a project. It paints everything in doom.

Swans and Chelsea Wolfe made my two favorite records from last year, and now I’m heading out to see them play a show together.

First time I’ve been frisked at a music venue in NYC. Makes me kinda homesick for Philly.

You know, I bet female musicians just love it when their male fans shout marriage proposals at them onstage.

Come one! Come all! Celebrate horrendous narcissism with a fawning interviewer finishing Kanye’s sentences! nytimes.com/2013/06/16/art…

Loosely based on a true story, The Sapphires is a musical comedy which follows a group of singing Aboriginal Australian women on their 1968 rise to fame.

Based on that… See more →

Thanks all for the birthday wishes! I’m en route to the Lego Store with my favorite person, so the day is going pretty okay.
