Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, 04.09.20
Feelin’ fine. Well, not really. Honestly, I’m starting to get really tired of being stuck inside all the time. Guess I’m not suited for long distance space travel, huh? Oh well. The mission to Mars will have to go on without me, I guess… Anyway, how about a few links? Punk Haircuts I have a…

How about a quick one (while he’s stuck inside)? The Cool Quarantine Henry Rollins’ new four hour long — 😳 — online radio show in conjunction with KCRW. It’s got everything: Cramps bootlegs recorded by Ian MacKaye, early Joy Division album pressings, Black Flag stories, no FCC constraints… Brooklyn Apple’s default screensavers are pretty boring,…

No Fun
Today, through that web browser, there are movies and TV shows and every song ever recorded; it’s where I do my writing and chatting and messaging; it’s where my notes and calendars and social networks live.

Goodbye 2017
Hey, 2017. You were, hands down, the worst year of my life. The more distance that I’m able to put between you and I, the better. Now, don’t get me wrong. Some really great things happened this year. But the worst thing I’ve ever been through in my life — which I’d much rather be…
