Favorite Recorded Screams LP

“Between October 2008 and March 2009, I visited every record store in Manhattan and asked the employees for their favorite scream from recorded music. Side one of this record is a compilation of the screams; one from each song, edited together and arranged in the order they were submitted. Side two follows the same order as side one, but has ten second spaces between each of the audio tracks.”

anybody want to find this for me???? currently out of print

“And further, if she had not been able to make a decision about this one small thing, as she might not have, then she might not be able to make a decision about anything else either, because all day long there were such decisions to make, as whether to go into this room or that room, to walk down the street in this direction or the other, to leave the subway by this exit or that one. There were many ways of reasoning through every decision, and often she could not even decide which way to reason, let alone make the decision itself. And so, in this way, she might become entirely paralyzed and unable to go on with her life.”

- Lydia Davis “Five Signs of Disturbance”

This reminds me of John Barth’s idea of cosmopsis - too much consciousness to be able to accomplish anything.

Indianapolis (Highway 74):

short story by Sam Shepard

I’m about to drop the gearshift down into drive when I look up through the snow and there she is—Becky Marie Thane—standing directly between the headlights, staring at me with a look not unlike my dog’s. She’s standing there shivering, without her coat, and the snow catches hold of her red hair and it glows in the backlight, like a halo. Am I now having a religious experience?

WSJ: But is there something compelling about the collaborative process compared to the solitary job of writing?
CM: Yes, it would compel you to avoid it at all costs.

A while back, Jake Hurwitz, Vincent Peone and I sat around my kitchen table drinking whiskey and chatted about our high school bands. We were convinced our bands were the best, and immediately made this blog: MyBandRuled.tumblr.com. Several months later we got our first submission from our friend and coworker Jake Oliver.

Check out the blog, reblog, follow us, and submit your best high school compositions!

This should be awesome.

You should go listen to Jake’s song on MyBandRuled, it is awesome. Please try and make it past the first 30 seconds (I know it’s hard) but shit gets rad!

UHHHH the first 30 seconds aren’t great too????
