I'm not sure how many of you have been reading this page for a while, but some of you may remember last summer's "The Great Chili Cook-off That Never Was" . 368 days ago, I tried to attend the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market Chili Cook-off. I showed up too late, and lamented my misfortunate for longer than I should have considering I didn't have a job or anything to do that day anyway. Nevertheless, when I saw this past week that somebody had Google'd "Beverly Hills Farmers Market Chili Cook-off", I got to thinking that maybe it was an [...]

Even the Emperor succumbed to fantasy. Queens floated within his palaces like ghosts, Rajput and Turkish sultanas playing catch-me-if-you-can. One of these royal personages did not really exist. She was an imaginary wife, dreamed up by Akbar in the way that lonely children dream up imaginary friends, and in spite of the presence of many living, if floating, consorts, the Emperor was of the opinion that it was the real queens who were the phantoms and the nonexistent beloved who was real. He gave her a name, Jodha, and no man dared gainsay him. Within the privacy of the women’s [...]

Roger Clemens ("pitcher") tends to an injured Derek Jeter ("catcher") I woke up early this morning to watch what I felt was a reasonable portion of the congressional hearing regarding the use of steroids in baseball, and chiefly Roger Clemens' assessment that his former trainer's statements about supposed steroid/human growth hormone use were lies. There was no way I felt like waking up at 6:30am this morning -- on my day off -- to watch the entire ESPN broadcast, but I watched from 9:00am until its conclusion, and read Jayson Stark's blog updates from [...]

I'm sure some of you could have guessed that we're going to review the new Xiu Xiu record for this weeks episode of our podcast, we're also working on the format a little so that our ideas are a little more concise... bonus for you! As I've been listening to the records I noticed a song on Women as Lovers guest starring Michael Gira . I realized that some may be unfamiliar with his name but I'm a really big fan. He was the principal creative force for The Swans [...]

It's this feeling I get walking down the sunlit hall, that thing that pricks my upper vena cava. It's that twitch in my facial muscles, the scent that makes my eye-lids heavy and my neurons fire up like fourth of July. Le je ne sais quoi, qui me fait sourir et dancer avec tes cheveaux. Music for sitting down on that warm bench over there... 1. José Gonzalez - Down the Line ( [...]

Angels of Light - "Untitled Love Song" Imagine you are being serenaded by a lover. It's approaching sunset and you two were out all day - walking, holding hands, eating food from each other's plates. Not a word was uttered between you. On the wild lawn in behind your home, your lover sits you down, pulls out a ukulele; he or she whistles and is joined by a band. There's a Hawaiian with a slide guitar and is that Dabney Coleman on bass? In the background there's a drummer in a white suit and a Bermuda hat. He's [...]

Jæja. Bara kominn þriðjudagur og bloggþögnin alger síðan á föstudag. Segir sig sjálft að svona gengur þetta ekki. Skil ekki afhverju þig skammist ekki í mér yfir aðgerðarleysinu.
