Apparently it is Dan Wilson appreciation day

Dear David Carr, I am sorry I am not Paul Westerberg

Last night Jags and I went to see David Carr read at Magers & Quinn and it was awesome. It was packed. People were sitting on the floor, standing in the stacks, and lined up out of the room. It was the kind of turnout that I wish every book reading had. It was made [...]

Wrapped up in books 2007, Part I

One of the resolutions I made last night was to read more books and watch less TV. I only managed to read a paltry 47 books last year. Pathetic. So this year I’m giving myself what I call the Largehearted Boy Reading Challenge, 52 books in 52 weeks. Go me! Before I start my challenge [...]

Stop tuning and play Left of the Dial, damnit

I fell asleep this afternoon while reading some story in the sorely disappointing Best American Short Stories 2007. While asleep I dreamt that I was cleaning my teenage bedroom when Jim Walsh and Mike Doughty just happened to stop by. They each took a seat on my king size waterbed and I started begging them [...]

Don’t be careful with your love

I have long been of the belief that one should never meet their heroes because it’s bound to be disappointing. Really, what can come of a meet up with someone who you’ve invested so much in and who doesn’t know you from Adam? Well let me tell you this darling ones, I was wrong. Yeah, [...]

He was a button down oxford and I was the grunge flannel

So there I was sitting on a folding chair on the lower level of the Barnes & Noble at the Galleria. I was supposed to be reading through the stories for class the next day but I was mostly eavesdropping on Jim Walsh’s mom introducing him to all his old neighbors who had shown up [...]

Getting things off my spleen

Going back to work after having a week off blows. Hard. After reading The Gum Thief I have convinced myself that I have spleen problems. I am not sure where a spleen is located but I have decided mine is about five inches under my left breast. Al, the cutest girl on earth™, is going [...]

The words I thought I brought, I left behind

In the past four weeks or so I’ve seen Andrew Bird and Neko Case live for the first time ever. I saw Paul Westerberg sing and talk about his music. However, nothing has filled my stomach with electricity or made my hands shake with excitement like the arrival of Jim Walsh’s All Over But the [...]
