Excelente! I am jazzed that you enjoyed Fever Dream, and wholeheartedly agree about the power of its original title. Looking forward to watching the film once K finishes the book as well.

I also try to avoid reading reviews of media until after I have interacted with it, though I once had a morbid fascination with looking up negative reviews of things that were almost universally celebrated, just for shits and giggles. One person panned Forrest Gump for being “completely unrealistic, with almost no discernible storyline”.

cool video! I think a lot about how easily you transfer news of cool new things when youre young. Like in College you know EVERYTHING that's going on. You get older you have to dig around to find cool stuff. You have to Sound Hound commercials on TV.

I'm looking forward to your interviews. I think conversations at all points of an artist's journey are great. In fact I love the discussions and essays that spring from an idea found in a piece of writing, music, or other art and have nothing to do with promotion.

The layoffs are dispiriting.

Thanks, Betsy! I love the conversations that come out of interviews I do for profiles. I want to push myself to find those unexpected connections, especially with artists whose work I admire.
