The Privilege of Scars

I am frequently asked what it was like living in Tokyo. I answer in many ways. Now, considering everything, “ruinous” feels like the most honest answer. “Devastating” would work too. I consider myself lucky to feel obliged to answer like this. Its been called the privilege of scars; it is assuredly not a mixed blessing.

Cultural Conversations: Das Racist Speaks

A few days ago I wrote a Sans Terre article on music journalism. In the course of responding to the comments on that post I got all worked up and said some things that I was not supposed to, namely I mentioned Michel Foucault. As a recovering Foucauldian this is strictly off limits, but recovery [...]

FREE Tickets to See Béla Fleck; Performance + Q&A + ‘Throw Down Your Heart’ Documentary

Coolidge Theatre is like my middle school girlfriends. I go over to see her, we sit in the dark for a couple hours watching a flick and by the end my legs and arms are sore and tired because I was too nervous to invade her personal space.
Coolidge Theatre is not like my middle school [...]

Hey everybody,
I wanted to write a short update about the state of affairs of Enough Cowbell as well as introduce everyone to a new feature.
As you may have noticed, I added an “Enough Cowbell is on Couch Surfing” icon on the top right of the page. If you’re not familiar, Couch Surfing is an online [...]

Everyday I’m Hustlin’

You could call me a bit of a web hustler. I’m on a constant scavenger hunt through the tubes of the internet, tracking down the best deals of the week, day, hour, maybe even second. I’ve found one such deal that may be of interest to our Enough Cowbell readers.
Amazon.com has 50 of the top [...]

Lost Boy? ªnarchy In The US [Parts 1 & 2] [free albums]

During the infancy of Enough Cowbell I used to obsess over whether or not posts were contemporary enough. I felt a need to have new news often. (In reality I often had no news.) If a video had been spread through the tubes for a week or two I’d often refrain from posting it even [...]

Baltimore Round Robin (Feet Night) @ Mass Art, 10.03.08

The first Feet night of Dan Deacon’s Baltimore Round Robin brain child was Friday night at Mass Art’s Pozin Gymnasium.
