Life’s Rich Pageant
So I was re-alphabetizing my CDs–oh my God this is your favorite blog ever because I write such interesting posts, right???–and every time I do that I’m like, THIS IS STUPID FUCK IT I’M GETTING RID OF ALL OF THEM RIGHT NOW, because what are CDs even? And then I usually do get rid of […]

Sometimes when I think about how everything is meaningless and the world is probably ending anyway, I’m like, Fuck it. Who cares. Place is a trash heap anyway. I invite the sun to explode and swallow up this whole stupid mess!
Except, oh my God, the opera.
Last night Inspector Corset and I saw La Nozze di […]
Watch out, Oh My Rockness
Cuz Bandsintown’s in town.
Right now I’m pretty tickled with it, but I guess we did just meet.
Thanks to recent Gawker celebrity Multislacker for the tip. (NOT the rattail guy. Shudder.)
IT IS WAY TOO LATE IN SEPTEMBER TO BE SINGING THIS SONG!

Toys were toys and boys were boys.
I’ll say.
[The second half is all fucked up, soundwise.]

GAH! I have the flu a virus that feels exactly like the flu, so everything seems horrible and depressing. But some things truly are horrible and depressing.
Starbucks to Release Sonic Youth Celebrity Compilation
Notice how many times Thurston laughs during the interview. Gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Sicko
Last week I was really sick, but I kept going to shows, because I already had tickets, and at the shows I kept drinking, because drinking makes you feel better whether you’re sick or healthy. But, sigh, if you’re sick, it doesn’t make you get better. It makes you get worse. So, bad idea.
It was […]
Screwing myself with my hand
If you are a regular reader of this website, you know that your girl Pistol is a Thinker. You’ll often find me musing about such fascinating and diverse topics as Art and Technology, not to mention weighing in on the most important and controversial issues of today! I’m basically a public intellectual.
Thoughts come at me […]
For once not a hater.
I didn’t have high expectations for the Arcade Fire at the United Palace Theater last night. I thought I hated that place. And even though I’m into the new record–it took me awhile to let it into my heart but I really do love it now!–I couldn’t help being a little backlashy.
Boy, was I ever […]
Sha-la-lee
Meet my ideal man.
[Sorry to horn in on your territory, Lefty. I’m LOVESTRUCK.]
“FOR THE TIME BEING BABY LIVE BY MY RULES” + that falsetto = the complete package.
***Bonus***
refers to sex as “making time.”
wants to get married.
P.S. Do you think it’s possible that “Two Faces Have I” is a metaphor for the falsetto/non-falsetto duality?
P.P.S. Oooh, this […]
Live the Life
As I made my way down the bone zone that is the Bedford Ave subway platform, surrounded by leering gaywads, who, it seems, have never seen a girl wear a skirt before, I was once again struck by the phenomenon Pistol Whip has so helpfully pointed out in these pages:
Female + hangover = Oak City.
It […]

Shine a Light
I don’t know why, exactly, but I AM HAVING THE BEST DAY. From the moment I woke up, my brain was awash with the good stuff. Serotonin, is it? All’s I know is I like it.
Maybe it started last night at Youpers, when Lefty and I sat elbow-to-elbow in stripey sweaters–unplanned, swear!–and I managed to […]
Cause when I need a friend…
When I first heard that Dinosaur Jr was recording a new record, I was a skeptical. So skeptical, in fact, that last time I saw them (at Rebel in December–weird place, that) I might have, like, yelled out, “Nobody wants to hear this shit!” whenever they played a new song. Maybe. Oops!
Mr. Pistol told me […]
