Bingo. I know I'm 38 and therefore boring but this "sellout" thing is just tiresome. They didn't start making Beyoncé records. Anyone who can listen to the raw snarl of the last record, especially given the personal content from Laura, and still talk about selling out……I'm lost.

If "Transgender Dysphoria Blues" is boring, we need to redefine the word.

Yeah I was a late fan, got on with New Wave but now love all their shit, when I saw them a couple years ago it fuckin rocked.

Happy birthday!

I think he co-wrote lyrics on two songs.

I'd disagree. But it's a long story.

Boy I thought the last 2-3 episodes of Fargo S2 were gold. Great build, great payoff.

Faults was stellar.

She was great in that.

Great news. Love the show and MEW is, at the risk of sounding cliched, a rare combination of talent and beauty. She did her best to carry The Returned. Also great in Faults which another poster mentioned above.

I like chess but have mostly played against my computer on a relatively easy level. Been a while since I played against a human. It's just a fun distraction for me, but I'd like to be better.

Savages about a month ago. They killed it just like the first time I saw them, and I was especially happy when their goddess singer Jhenny stage-dived and landed on my head. I got to touch her. My life was complete at that moment.

"Libra" by Don Delillo. Good so far, more for the CIA stuff than the Oswald stuff.

Yeah that sounds like potential violation of privacy, by the fucking HR director? Jesus.

Fuck working my ass off and being broke no matter what, with no change in the foreseeable future.

That concert was wonderful and sad and powerful.

Nothing beats shouting and lifting up your beer at a Hold Steady show during Constructive Summer when it's time to "raise a toast to Saint Joe Strummer".

Oh good, gonna check it out tomorrow thx

Oh shit, I forgot about that fuckin cookbook, that was an instant classic.

Love "Coin-Operated Boy"
