That little thumbnail is part of the secret to why I haven't been writing epic posts of gastronomical import. That little thumbnail, should you click upon its little face, will take you to the first ever article, which is an interview with the band No Doctors, by yours truly, posted on
Tiny Mix Tapes dot com, which is an irreverent, underground, less popular alternative to Pitchfork, PopMatters, or one of the other music websites that I must admit I never ever read. (Generally, I focus my attention on
Dusted Magazine,
Fusetron email updates, the
XYC list-serv,
Blastitude, and sometimes I pick up the
Wire. I also read
Harpers and
The Nation, which are not quite music related, but certainly deserve my attention. Importantly, I read
No Doctors' website, which is about as close as I have found to blog perfection.)
Mostly though, I don't spend much time reading what other people write. Ever since I turned 17 I have not been the voracious book devourer that I was at ages 12 or 9. These days, I would rather write something myself, make a drawing, sew, exercise, have sex, etc. To that end, I tried successfully to become a writer at TMT, and now it pays off with this first interview, which is an epic chunk of internet change at a whopping 6,500 words.
No Docs, now located in the California Bay Area, most likely will not be returning to Nightlight anytime soon. However, this interview should provide the remaining fans and perhaps soon-to-be-new-fans with a taste for each of the band's members' incredibly unified, yet granular and discrete, visions of a different planet.
Hoorah, I will be updating as I expand my work on the internets. Soon to come will be an interview with
Pterodactyl, who really impressed me the other night at the Nightlight with their dense and caterwauling screech of a loud bomb. Then more and more as life goes on and I try to expand my fledgling career as a freelance writer.
Take care of yourselves, the world is fucked up, but beautiful. For intense inspiration, check out the audio from the
NPR Talk of the Nation interview with David Lynch that I heard today. Transcendental Meditation will bring the ultimate bliss.
