Music Time 8
I just finished a large article for another blog that should be up one day. Tomorrow you will get a post/paper about Utopia and the animal. Tonight, however, you get more music. This is Mimicking Birds. I like them so, … Continue reading
Music Time 7
I haven’t had any time to write anything in a while. I have a post brewing about photography. I’m also working on an essay for an online magazine, which I’m sure I’ll talk about at a later date.

Music Time 6
If Glasser isn’t my new favorite musical entity, I don’t know what is.
Reading Habits and the Political
Somewhere around 1970, the phrase “the personal is political” started making the rounds. Carol Hanisch coined the phrase in a paper, but that doesn’t matter here. It’s bloomed out from that. I say that because I just read this post … Continue reading
David Lynch Makes Music
This will be a short post, but I think that everyone needs to know that David Lynch makes music and that it’s pretty damn good. I don’t really know what it means that Lynch, an artist concerned with the interior … Continue reading
