Congrats. You are an effective instigator of wanderlust and librolust (seems like it should be a word).

The other day, I listened to the episode of "The Vinyl Guide" with Brian Baker! Super interesting. He made a comment about fucking up Dag Nasty and I'm so curious to know more about that.

Speaking of "The Vinyl Guide." I've been really into "You Don’t Know Mojack" lately, and I was trying to remember how I learned about it. Turns out, it was the same time that I was introduced to you and your work when you were on the show! Thanks for opening me up to new avenues.

great post. And good to be reminded of people like Simenon, who is one of my all time faves. And really is one of the great chroniclers of Paris, and not really given credit for it.

I'm glad to hear that! Even though my obsession is deep Bolaño is a writer I'm totally fine taking my time with. You got me thinking thought. I wonder what a Henry Rollins novel would be like?
