  • Review of John Battelle's Search Book - New York Times
    I gotta read this. Must make free time. Stop reading blogs. NO MORE BLOGS. Or email. MUST READ ACTUAL STUFF.

  • NPR : Link Wray: Father of the Power Chord
    You learn something new you already forgot once every day.
  • NPR : Violinist, Singer-Songwriter Andrew Bird
    The Loudoun Wainwright force is strong in this one. But he's no copycat -- it's much more spare. It might be fairer to say that Neil Young runs deeper still across this whole genre, and under him Pete Seeger. Under him? Someone somewhere on a bare wood porch there's a guy with a washboard and laundray bucket.

  • NPR : Loving the Imperfections of Toy Cameras
    OK, admitting I only kind of get this. See the next link for the blog of an old acquaintance who is also quite accomplished in this work. So much luck in any art, I know -- but this seems extreme.

    Makes one heartsick.

    Ugly.

  • Pibgorn (November 18)
    OK, was soft porn. Not so soft as it was. Good strip, mind you, but not really for the people who think Peanuts really hit its stride when Schulz brought in Spike. I'm just saying is all.

    Webcomics: They're not just for reading over breakfast. Any more. Well, never were, probably.
