I Can Eat (More Stuff Than Prince)
The Idea of a Girl…
We’re all in love with a lot of girls…well, not so much the girl – the actual girl that is; but rather, the idea of a girl. Like that White Stripes song, but different.
Kyle Henricksen – Idea of a Girl
The lyrics to the song above are as follows:

Ophelia
I was listening to music tonight and shuffled onto a song I recorded sophomore year of college in the basement of one of the “hippier” dorms on campus. It brought back memories of drinking Carlo Rossi jug wine from plastic water bottles, and the time I got scratched by one of the squirrels that inhabited [...]
V.Day+18, or, Rusty Belle is Playing Toad
V.Day: I spent the day making paper cut-out valentines in the Black Sheep coffee shop in Amherst with two good friends. I don’t speak French, but the sentiment of the “holiday” channeled un peu de francais from my pen that day. While I didn’t find V.Day love, I did find $4 crumpled on the cold [...]
What Do You Listen to When Your iPod Breaks?
I’ve broken my way through several iPod’s. I got my first for free from freeipods.com just before Thanksgiving break sophomore year. I broke it that summer longboarding down Indian Head Rd listening to System of A Down. I wasn’t upset.
I didn’t have another for a long while after that. I listened to CD’s.

The Make-up-Names Game, Plus, Obama Supports [Boy] Crisis
I passed along this band’s name to my brother for him to listen to while trapped in his cubicle. Pretty fun music, but since we’re both not very hip, I had no answer to his question “what does that stand for?”. This was all occurring on the Gmail chat, and since I am (as you [...]
On Memories…
2009 came with a warm Percocet blanket; 2008’s coldness fading into the background. Just before noon on the 31st of December, my sister Katrin and I were involved in a 15 car pileup on “the Pike”, in which we were hit hard by three different cars, and which left my sister bleeding and very scared [...]
Fleet Foxes Love To Disappoint (Live @ the Somerville Theater, 10.6.08)
Monday October 6th, 7:00pm:
I walked into Somerville Theater wanting the Fleet Foxes show to be bad. There were various reasons, most notably the cold Monday October night I had just walked out of. Frank Fairfield opened the show with a short set that, while having potential for country-folk goodness, lost its way to me [...]
