Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Both the book and the movie made me squee like a school girl. Which is to say: this is not my most dignified moment ever. Come to think of it, my other moments aren’t bursting at the seams with dignity either. But there’s certainly a graduated scale. For instance, it’s rare for librarians to guffaw […]

Bricabrac – my papernet poetry mix zine

Monday, March 9, 2009

A month or so ago I watched Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and loved it (Michael Cera exudes the Neeson effect: he makes otherwise mediocre movies watchable). After draining my heart of sap build-up, I started thinking about the idea of mixing music; how to do it, what holds songs together, the purpose of a […]

Ys

Monday, March 9, 2009

I’d heard Milk-Eyed Mender a few times, but I only really got into Joanna Newsom’s music with Ys. What a beautiful album. At first, her voice turned me off. I had a crappy bootleg of Yarn and Glue. Or are all versions like that? Mine was recorded in some sort of drive-me-mad stereo mode. It […]

Anathem

Saturday, March 7, 2009

Even Neal Stephenson’s grocery lists are epic and huge. Their scope reaches beyond naming potential purchases, to examining the august fabric of food, the meaning behind grocery stores, the deep chemistry of our greasy gut juices. I doubt the man has ever written a piece of fiction less than a million words long in his […]
