back-home smells

Why does the scent of lit matches call to mind the general scent of humid summer nights in northeast Ohio? Strike the matchbook and I’m suddenly reminded of swinging (the public park kind, not the Vince Vaughn variety) and bonfires (duuuuh).

That thing where

The stuff that used to feel good kinda feels crummy, and the stuff that felt crummy feels pretty good now. I wish there was a word for that.

analyzing my own laziness.

The last four shows I’ve marathoned (read: let take over my life) have begun with a ‘p’ (Party Down, Portlandia, Parenthood, Parks and Recreation). Before that, no discernible pattern (Community, Breaking Bad, United States of Tara, True Blood, The L Word, The Office). Hmm. Welp, onto Louie and Friday Night Lights.

Pazz + Jop Ballot

It’s an extra thrill to see the results of this year’s Village Voice Pazz & Jop Critics Poll because for the first time, I scrolled through the list of voting music critics and saw friends’ names. It was also the first year I voted. That said, I’m disappointed that Tune-Yards nabbed the top album spot. I can’t deal with her voice enough to even begin to like...

blurintofocus: I’ve been writing my “how did I get here” piece for you all about what I did in college and how I work in entertainment today, and was just blindsided by the loss of one of the people who set me on to this path. Heading into college I knew I wanted to be a journalist. I only applied places with… Reblogging because it’s an “aww” read and because so much...

– Dave Grohl, on why “rock is dead” claims are bullshit. More of our convo with the always mouthy Foo Fighters frontman. (via billboard) My love for Dave Grohl is a complicated thing that kind of totally circles around THIS.

– Caroline Polachek of Chairlift, interviewed by Pitchfork’s Larry Fitzmaurice. I’m glad she said this. I think more people need to talk about this, to call it out, because I think there’s this assumption that the indie world is full of nice guys who have evolved beyond sexism, which is anything but...

My Year in Music: 2012

Now that 2011 is actually ending you know, today, it would be the appropriate time to reflect on the past 12 months, and if you feel so inclined, post a list that’s actually relevant. (I’m looking at you, Paste, when I say this, because Nov. 29 is no time to post a year-end list, and I’m not going to post to give them traffic because that’s why they did it in the first...

What I Learned About Sex From Weezer

Slouching in the passenger’s seat of my mom’s mini-van was where I first learned about touching oneself. Specifically, that girls could even do that. I was 13, parked in front of Sparkles Market while mom ran in to buy Pasta-roni. Our stop beforehand? Best Buy. Rivers Cuomo taught me everything I needed to know. MORE. — Am I really, finally putting this on the internet? GULP.

relief.

wrote my first cover story. going back home for the holidays, knowing that when I get back, I will see the fruits of my labor in print (hell, hold it in my hands, send 10 copies to my ma and pa). yep, it’s going to be a great Christmas.
