Notable Quotable

I'm extremely pleased to be featured on the promo sticker for Glenn Jones' Against Which the Sea Continually Beats. As the blurb clearly demonstrates, I'm a big fan of Jones' work (solo and with his band Cul de Sac), and his label, Strange Attractors, which has a remarkably consistent stable of artists who all deserve attention.

The quote is from my review of his first album, This is the Wind That Blows it Out, though I have since also reviewed the album upon which it appears.

I've appeared on one-sheets before (I'm sure everyone has seen the xeroxed promo sheet for Greek electro/post-rock band Gardenbox), but this is a much more public, visible appearance for me. I hope that a lot of people buy this record, enjoy the music, and carefully consider my opinion before they throw away the thin, cellophane wrapping that it is stuck on.

Notations»

Can't say I like the new Stop & Shop logo. At least the old one was related to stopping and shopping.

Wired profiles Neal Stephenson. Loved the Baroque Cycle, but it had one flaw on the hardcover spine: the second and third books use a long s, but the first volume doesn't. Looking forward to Anathem.

Movie Review:
Vicky Cristina Barcelona

I can't believe the Goliath Cranes that lorded over Quincy are being dismantled and shipped to Romania.

I always loved the AMG take on Jon Spencer: "…inspired showman or mendacious con man (frankly, he's both)."
