The Maroon ran a Valentine’s Day special on the Five Best Love Songs of All Time. Five Voices writers expressed their feelings, and the fact that they didn’t even have one song repeated suggests that this is a rather silly exercise. Nonetheless, Sam offered his list, and now I feel like I want to weigh [...]
A little about music… Driving in Chicago monday morning, I had the radio tuned to B96, which had one of their “lunch parties” going at the time. Right before they dropped “Lose Yourself,” they played this really sweet little song that mage me think of a less angry “I Got A Man” or “Déjà Vu [...]
Mary from Stereolab died on Monday while riding her bike in England. This is pretty sad, obviously. I never met her–though she did get mockingly upset with me when I interviewed Tim Gane. I was taking up too much of his time. I wish the members of the band strength during this time.
It’s 1pm and I’m still riding a contact buzz from last night’s Saint Etienne concert at the Double Door. I love this band even more having seen them live. It was a shame the crowd seemed so lame, though there was a total fanboy right next to me who, like me, knew all the words [...]

Lauren wasn’t in class today, so we broke up into tiny groups to keep talking about Maus. I have to thank the patience of my group in listening to my diatribe about the book sort of encapsulated below–but I think that we also got quite a lot of good discussion out of it, too, which [...]
Mein zweiter Aufsatz! Mouse on Mars ist eine tolle Gruppe. Andi Toma und Jan St. Werner sind Mouse on Mars. Sie kommen aus Köln, denn sie sind Deutscher. Mouse on Mars hat ein Lied und es heißt ,,Saturday Night Worldcup Fieber.“ Ich habe es sehr gern, aber ich höre lieber,,Schnick Schnack Melimade“ oder,,Tamagnocchi.“ Mouse on [...]
(third time today I’m writing this post…) Sam, he of the obsolete blog, somehow managed to get a subscription to Rolling Stone. He swears that he didn’t do it, and there is some evidence that suggests this: His subscription to The New Yorker is a gift, but I’m a little suspicious. After all, Sam has [...]
Tucker accused me of libel yesterday, so I had to change the modifiers of his person in the previous entry. I think that I’m now only posting truths about Mr. Max. My English class went great, and it will certainly be a lot of fun. I read some of Hannah Webster Foster’s The Coquette. So [...]
My reading of Murakami’s A Wild Sheep Chase was interrupted last night at 2am by a prank phone call from Cali soliciting me for phone sex. Among the slogans used was “at your cervix,” which, while really funny, is also really Illogical–I don’t have a cervix, and, in the age of male barrier contraception, a [...]
I’m excited about a few things. They are now indicated by the links to the left. Hopefully, you, too, will get excited about them. Most excitingly, aš dabar galiu lietuviškai rašyti. I sent an email to the Blogger people about character set encoding on these pages. But then I got the idea to write a [...]
