Oh god, I had no idea. "Dog Heaven" is one of my favorite short stories of all time. Even after reading it dozens of time, the ending still gives me goosebumps.

Also one of my fav opening sentences ever: "Every so often that dead dog dreams me up again." What a huge loss.

The World's A Mess, It's in My Kiss, by Styrofoam Winos from the album Aquarium Drunkard's Lagniappe Session

I always thought someone should do a pretty, low-key version of "The World's A Mess, It's In My Kiss" and, of course, Styrofoam Winos went ahead and did it.

in your 30s you get to experience a new kind of responsibility called Responsibility 2. It's like the old responsibility, but it's much fucking worse
