The Catcher in the Rye...
jumonz:
Damn. Holden Caulfield. He was one epic motherfucker. It was my goal for a long, long time to write exactly like he thinks and speaks. Then I realized that was just Salinger’s voice. Still trying to write like that. Will be for the rest of my life.
I must guiltily say that the reason why I ever read The Catcher in the Rye was because of Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John...

Being involved in radio, my colleagues (heh colleagues) and I discuss radio today versus was it was 40 years ago. Before the internet and this infinite freedom of having an endless amount of songs to listen to, young people like myself would rely on the radio to share what was cool, hip or in at the time. The best new tracks were played on the radio and it was exciting to hear a...

Dreams
Last night I had an incredibly dreadful dream. I was with John and we were running through the a series of lush woods full of dewy trees, vines and branches to get to a literary conference (yes, I have been reading the Journals of Sylvia Plath before bed…). We came across a fallen tree which had made a bridge over this murky pond that was littered with fallen limbs and rocks. The tree had...
Dear Woodsist Records,

Anyway, I think we should definitely get together some time. I have heard of some of your stuff and I am quickly falling in love. Woods and Real Estate have brought sunlight into my dreary January afternoon. I...
Bob Evans
For Christmas my mom gave me a gift certificate for Bob Evans and I’m thinking about getting some take-out for dinner.

Each Coming Night, Iron and Wine
Will you say when I’m gone away: “My lover came to me and we’d lay In rooms unfamiliar but until now” Will you say to them when I’m gone away: “I loved your son for his sturdy arms We both learned to cradle then live without” Will you say when I’m gone away: “Your father’s body was judgement day We both dove and rose to the...
