The first poster never got posted up, so I decided to make it look as if a reprint and a reconstruction was ordered quickly. On the original post, I promised a new poster the next time, as this is becoming a ‘thing’.

“My band, Cities & Years (with Ben Cureton), is playing a show in a week. Even though we’re opening at 8 PM on a Tuesday, I put us on top of the flyer because that’s how excited I am about us finally unveiling what we’ve been working on, for over a year, to other people. Our set exemplifies so much of how I’ve been feeling that there’s no way to disconnect me from it, to the point that I feel intertwined with it.

That’s not even a strong enough statement.

I guarantee it. I stand behind it 100%. This music is my Black Card, my Centurion American Express. It’s my private concierge to get me to where I want to go. And, it’s not just me. It’s me and my best friend. We decide everything together, and the way it works, and where everything goes. It’s a team effort. And it works.

It’s made explicitly to be enjoyed.”

I feel even stronger about our work now than I did then. I’m full of myself, and maybe I’m getting a little big for my britches. Whatever.

“Temporary design/illustration for facebook photo. no ampersands… yet. I’ll post a link to it when we have 25 “fans” (aka: 25 facebook friends who “like” us). We’re planning to have a show soon, and we’re super excited for it. SWAG.”

I never ended up posting that link. Well, it’s

“I connected to this line very early on as far as the timeline of my appreciation for Purple Haze goes. Around the same time I connected to this record, I lost my best friend, and I connected with the sentiment of living for those who aren’t here.

I enjoyed typesetting this in Mr. Eaves, and connecting the images to the words as appropriately as possible.

I wish my homies could watch me live Happy Days like Joanie and Chachi”

Apathy and disenchantment meeting my mind that has it’s own way of connecting things.



I redid the Obama logo, as I couldn’t get the original ‘depressing’ and ‘heavy’ enough to convey how I felt (and nearly two years later, still feel).

Who gives a shit about a new Pope? This will actually have a huge impact on my life!

I’m very angry/despondent over this. How else do people read the internet? I’m not going to visit each site and try and trudge through everything to find what’s new. Has no one thought of the effect this will have on the neurotics who for some god forsaken reason need to know that they haven’t missed anything that’s come down the pike? 

May god have mercy on my soul. 

UPDATE

Or as this commenter put it ever so brilliantly: 

As far as I can tell, there are two kinds of people on the Internet: people who have no idea what Google Reader is, and people who are really super bummed it’s shutting down.

Do most people really, like, manually type in “t-h-e-a-w-l-dot-c-o-m” and hit refresh every so often to see if there are new articles? Mind boggling. I mean no offense to people who have legitimately never used an RSS reader before, but I can’t imagine keeping up with more than about three blogs without one.

This map has been making the rounds on Facebook. It’s Joseph Cr Vourteque’s attempt to find parallels between New York boroughs and Chicago community areas. Note that there is nothing that compares to Chicago’s South Side.

Do you agree with this take?

I’d say this is pretty damn accurate, lol.

FUCK YEAH. Like, fuck white clothes. Or clothes that aren’t black.

Lyor Cohen is the closest thing I have to a role model. Or hero. Or spirit animal. Or I don’t know. Fuck. This quote again:

‘This generation is handicapped by the era of excess. I grew up in an era of love and swimming upstream, determined to prove people wrong. We had chips on our shoulders, like, “We belong here.” But now it’s the most popular, biggest segment of the industry. We’ve had a decade of private planes and Maybachs. That’s not the era that I came from. The era I came from, I had zero expectation that I was going to make any money. I was determined to prove to the gatekeepers of the industry that we had a place here and we weren’t going to relinquish our opportunity. I never had to keep up with nobody because we were all on subways. So it was never like, “My subway is bigger and flyer than your subway.” And there was a real fraternal order. We were backstage with Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring, and we had zero fucking money. But everybody wanted us in the VIP room because we were doing something that was so important to them. People understood that it wasn’t if it was going to happen, it was when it was going to happen.’
