Tonight, via text, email & voice mail i learned something new: that if he did it to you, he will eagerly (try to) do it with you. I never imagined the ‘if he does it with you, he’ll do it to you’ rule had a corollary, though i’m not all that surprised. So now i […]

i bowl for the children
The most double-plus-fun email exchange from yesterday:
They called me Lucy
Bret MacKenzie from Flight of the Conchords stalked me a little bit last year (2009). OK, maybe not, but hear me out: for the 1st 2 months of 2009, he showed up at every show i went to, and every after party. Not just music, comedy shows, too. Then this came out. I’ve had an original Peanuts […]
the ‘Breakup by Mixtape’ playlist
High Fidelity – Side A(n exposition of sorts to a kinda-love story) -Hi, ¡¿Fidelity?! – Side B(reaking up is actually much easier to do than most 1950s teen pop songs insist)
HAPPY?
Yes, it really is this simple.
Selling Out Online
David McAndless of ‘Information Is Beautiful’ has published an interesting article detailing the royalty accrual vs units sold / streamed, that artists can expect from various forms of digital media. I’m not vouching for the veracity of the data or its conclusions, but I must confess it seems accurate in my own experience.

the ‘Welcome to 2010’ playlist
welcome to {20/10} a playlist to cleanse the palette: i’ve been pondering a blog ever since i confirmed Voldemort’s lack of loyalty in the fall of 2007. But “Anatomy of a Breakup, the blog” like the breakup itself, stalled out for an embarrassingly lengthy timespan. Then, this New Year’s Eve i was asked what two […]

Music Asst FAIL
FYI freebird-violator: all the nepotism in the world won’t pardon not knowing that freebird is a once in a blue moon cameo on your work playlist anywhere in the music industry. Covering with your band on open mic night or blasting in your car is fine, but don’t do it on the job where some […]

A Note On Broadway & Breakups
Standard formula from stage and screen: 1. boy meets/gets girl 2. boy LOSES girl 3. boy gets girl back* *Notes for real life: a. meaning: boy ‘WINS (or earns) her affections back’, not boy ‘exacts calculated revenge on girl’. b. this step is entirely at the girl’s discretion and there is no guarantee, so do […]
