Everything ever said about the relativity of time — be it serious or jokey or wrong — is right. Short expanses of time can be unendurably long, long stretches of time can pass by without notice, and now lasts forever while the past and the future never existed and never could or will. I whiled […]

best of 2009 music
March first is a good day to post this, right? I mean, the rush to get these out is gone, so now mine will appear more important for lack of competition. So, remember how I did it last year? The tiering system, as opposed to rankings? Yeah, that’s how I’ve been rating everything since then. […]
