Really procrastinating the With Strings review. Seriously, it’ll happen. 

Today I added two poems to Idiot Music, a meager geocities website I constructed so some of my work could be readily available on the internetz. Both are exercises in syllabics I worked on the past couple months and are part of a chapbook I’ve been working on also titled Idiot Music. 

Some random links because last night I was at a BBQ bonfire & sometimes my body really likes to hate me after a late night by waking up early:

I’m Losing My Edge’s Top 5 Under the Radar Albums–loved the fact that Ugly Casanova made it.

Haruki Murakami translates American classics

To Tao Lin: I don’t give a shit about your vegetarianism. Your poetry would be better and less of a cliche without it (or maybe it’s the energy drinks, New Yorkism, and ennui, it’s hard to tell). It also really scares me that at the end of the Bookslut interview there’s an ad for the Kindle. Anyway, I wonder if Tao Lin will google his own name and find this. Seems like something he would do. Hey, Tao, sometimes the things you say on the internetz r funny, but your poetry is like reading a 9th grade girl’s journal after she took an Intro to Greek Philosophy class. Hee hee.
