Not begrudging anybody their hero worship, but if you honor Ozzy Osbourne on here without any reservations, I never ever want to hear you talk shit about any artist's personal life ever again.

Poop fart butt

Definitely their shoegaziest. Always imagined the title as a play on mbv (pain/love full/less).

Watched this fantastic doc last night on criterion. Nice companion to Kathy Hessel's essential The Story of Art Without Men.

The grass over this guy's grave will be the greenest in the cemetery from all the pissing and shitting. I personally can't wait.

Eraserhead is the best movie I've ever seen about what it feels like parenting a newborn, so much so that I can't imagine non-parents getting anything out of it.

I read the book

Save this one to put in future (future?) anthologies about this period of US government and the latent sicknesses in our society that birthed it.

Writing About Nature is Like Dancing About The Apocalypse I know that nobody gives a single solitary shit anymore about descriptions, no matter how poetic, of the various flora and fauna, the animals and archipelagos, that happen to exist in the places wh…

I wrote a thing and the subject of the thing is not the actual subject of the thing.

I believe, with a quarter of the 21st century now behind us, that the only appropriate way to talk about the weather is to say holy shit we’re all going to fucking die.

Stubbs was the man behind Mr. Agreeable for the old Melody Maker and hates with the precision of a world class surgeon.

‘I feel that nowhere is safe’: Stories from inside Mass. communities left reeling by the surge in ICE arrests - The Boston Globe Immigrant neighborhoods in Massachusetts are feeling the strain of recent ICE actions, which have intensified in recent months.

Oh The Places You’ll Go! There comes a time in every young person’s life when their parents’ friends have to buy them a high school graduation present. And so they go to Barnes & Noble, a store that sells t…

America Is A Wad of Spit-Out Chewing Gum Trapped in a Urinal Before we tackle the subject directly, I have to admit that I started writing/procrastinating this post by typing its title into a search engine in the hope of finding a relevant photo I could use …

I am determined to see how far I can wander away from the ostensible subject of an essay and still make it cohere into something. This might be the farthest ramble yet.

Acted better? The team told him to put his glove away forever, then two months later publicly announced that he should be the new first baseman despite the fact they have logjams in the outfield and at short. Never made sense except as character assassination.

Just glad Trevor Story's contract isn't a problem and he gets to play SS forever.

Registered should say relistened and I'm too tired to fix it.

Registered today. Smile is at its heart about the realization that the California dream, and the American dream, is a lie. Pet Sounds is about the realization that the adult world is a lie. You can hear the crushing disappointment happen in real time.

I can once again love them. They're like a little kid who accidentally jabs their thumb in your eye while trying to give you a hug after they see you're crying because they accidentally ate a handful of sand.

The Center For Fiction Is Stranger Than Truth So my grandfather-in-law dies a couple of weeks ago and the kid and the spouse drive down to Tennessee to pay their respects—and to pay mine since I’m not able to get the time off from work. That m…

Wrote about going into the city and drinking a couple of beers in the Center For Fiction Cafe. This one gets a little weird.

Petco Park is where home runs go to die. Don't think there's ever been a hitter who came in there and had better numbers over a long period of time.

It took thom yorke however many months to come up with... that???

Only person in the Center For Fiction cafe drinking alcohol at 4:30pm on an 80 degree day. Says something or other about something or other but I'm not certain enough to say what.
