how am I supposed to be chill when not a month goes by that I don't think about how Kierkegaard said that a thinker without a paradox is like a lover without a paramour?
trying to decide if I'm going out tonight...

Today's radio show is gonna be a little different. It's gonna be family dinner with my nephew, Eli. We're gonna talk about life and music and going to shows and one of our favorite people on earth!

6:00-8:00 tonight on WMCN.fm

and I'm going to see a production of Macbeth tonight! I love this town, er, these twin towns :)
in the last 4 days, I've gone to 3 shows:

1. country
2. ol' timey folk blues
3. garage rock/punk/noise

I'm just so grateful to live in a place where live music is plentiful, varied and really dang good

I salute all the people who formed that single row of fans that separated me from the pit at last night's Murder City Devils show. thank you for your service

Last night's tribute to Lead Belly at the Cedar marked the 77th anniversary of his 1948 Minneapolis house show. It was a magical night full of stories about Lead Belly's influence on the American folk tradition, esp here in MN. A highlight for me was Pop Wagner and Mikkel Beckman's take on this song

if you take my hand, hold it for a second and then squeeze it, I'm gonna think you're flirting. sorry, I don't make the rules

this reminds me of that guy in my first-year dorm who went through all of college being called "sans" just because he started college with a part and then went and styled his hair without one
What is your mnemonic for remembering whether a person spells their name "Anne" or "Ann"? I try to associate the "e" or "lack of e" with their personality. This works about half the time.

these lines from ee cummings got ahold of me today:

"wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom"

Goodness me, I stayed up late reading and it’s already Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day. Hope you’ve all been good this year!

I missed the show on Tuesday but did go out to Afton last night to catch the sky aglow. Leaning against a car parked on a dark road and looking up at those country stars, we remembered the feeling of awe...

How do you like your vampires?
Campy? Sexy? Heroic? Tortured? Truly evil? Disgusting? Scary?

Tonight we'll tackle such essential questions on my radio show when I'm joined by two students who have, um, opinions.

You should know that we just watched Blade yesterday
