this morning on MPR’s midmorning program, Kerri Miller talked to writers Jim Walsh (did your heart just beat a little goofy like mine did?) and and Rob O’Connor. These two men contributed to a book called Kill Your Idols: A New Generation of Rock Writers Reconsiders the Classics which sort of takes on the “Classics” [...]

Jim Walsh gives me the shivers once again and reminds me of my own something stuck up my nose story.
i was about 3 or 4, and had pulled a button off an itty-bitty baby sweater. for fun i decided to shove the button up my nose, take it out, then shove it up the [...]

first of all, mmmm good.
second of all, in the epic battle between the supergenius and September 10, 2003, September 10, 2003 won, hands down. it kicked my ever-loving ass.

you know if anyone is interested in joining a Jim Walsh fanclub, i will happily volunteer to be president.

my beloved Jim Walsh interviews Westerberg. mm, good. now everyone mark this down on the calendar. April 29th, Paul will be on the David Letterman show. are you as excited as i am?

i thought maybe jim walsh was trying to break my heart, but if you make it to the last sentence you will see that he redeems himself. just barely.
i was worried for a minute that i was going to have to go look for a new obsession.
