For Your Consideration | Vivian Calliope Muraco Durbin

Unlimited congratulations and high-fives to Team Durbin. Christina and Ben have brought a perfect little person into the world and I couldn’t be happier for them.

Best middle name ever? “Calliope.” Delightful.

Pavement - “Carrot Rope”

Mark Ibold is my fantasy of the ultimate freshman roommate lottery draw.

He seems like a guy who’d replace any Cokes he drank — and wouldn’t even make a big show of pointing out that he’d done it.

Yeah, sure, it’s a weird fantasy, but, y’know, you’re not the boss of me. No. You are not. College is a complicated time, and I won’t be judged about which musician from a band I liked 15 years ago would probably replace my Cokes without making a big deal of it.

That’s between me and my God.

Don’t overthink it. Read ‘em all. All the way back. @glamazon_barbie is a pay cable franchise temporarily masquerading as a Turing test.

Those letters and numbers are telling a crazy fucking story. Lot going on there.

Philip Glass Ensemble - “‘Train/Spaceship’, Part 1” [1982]

from Einstein on the Beach

It’s like watching someone do their taxes. In base-2. And Esperanto. As a palindrome.

And yet? Still gives me a giant arpeggioboner.
