uh why are neither of those boston spaceships songs "let it rest for a little while"

right! laura ingraham isn't implying anything by calling the president "uppity," no sir, and if you read into it, doesn't that make you the REAL racist?

also also, not really her fault, but her management's labeling her as "gangsta," which, she's from the mean streets of fucking lake placid, of all places

shit, sorry i didn't see this earlier — i'd say that's fair, simonel, like for all of udo's preoccupation with having his game orderly and the pieces undisturbed he does a lot of his thinking in non sequiturs, and it sorta takes the concept of going on vacation to an absurd place when he keeps postponing his return to…

working on jr by gaddis, which is exhausting but also hilarious and wicked trenchant and stuff — it's basically the opposite of my preferred prose style (the book is nearly all dialogue with just scattered morsels of description) but I'm 400 some odd pages in and enjoying the hell out of it. i love how bast is…

really, really good goddamn book

dr. ron paul ob/gyn would make a fantastic wacky sitcom neighbor

solo tobin sprout fucking rules so much

i can't in good conscience let this go unflagged

steve and george's favorite chess player is the best thing

well really i'd contend that jeezy knows his way around metaphor and simile well enough to keep the self-aggrandizement fresh (along with his motivational-speaker angle that preceded "hello new world" by clipse by a full year)

um not sure if you're aware of this but hubris has been an integral element of rap lyricism and Jeezy's lyrics in particular for, like, a minute now

you should have to apply for a license before coining portmanteaus

it captured certain household dynamics and like people's fleeting expressions and stuff super deftly but it would have been a lot better if anything had actually happened in it

these literally, unironically make me nostalgic for braying-whitney-in-tennis-shoes sidebars

goddammit lobester post only about guided by voices please

So my dear you think you can get to Broadway. Well, let me tell you something. Broadway has no room for people like you. Not the Broadway I know. My Broadway takes people like you and eats them up and spits them out. My Broadway is the Broadway of Merman, and Martin, and Fontaine, and if you think you can build…
