Hey Tumblr.
It’s been a while.
I’m in NY. It’s cool… and rainy.

An Indie Label in 2012. →
mikesniper:
I posted a recent Facebook comment regarding our policies with signing artists and found myself getting into a discussion of what the role of an independent label is in 2012, something I’ve often been asked about in interviews but have never really been able to elaborate on.
Basically, it started off by requesting that bands don’t send us vinyl LP’s or professionally made CD’s in...

New years resolution;

It’s amazing how we listen to music in cycles.
Sitting at home. Completely unimpressed by the 21,000+ songs sitting idly in my iTunes library. Contemplating what to listening to - one would seemingly assume, I’ve actually listened to every single song in said library, thus the reason why appear disenchanted and jaded from the thought of listening to anything from it. Then, I figured,...

I suppose watching Annie Hall again is a good way to pass the time.
It’ll never get old, it seems.

Having a tumblr blog often leads to a false sense of intellectual and cultural superiority.

I’m about 70% done with my goal of owning every Simon & Garfunkel record ever released.
I’m missing a bunch of 7” singles and limited edition color vinyl. As well as 2 greatest hits.
I would love you forever if anyone can help me out with this.

Louis CK's Shameful Dirty Comedy →
youmightfindyourself:
viafrank:
I’ve been thinking about Louis CK lately. I’m a fan of his show on FX, and I’m so happy his recent adventure in distributing his newest comedy special himself has been a rousing success. But my thoughts are going elsewhere to wonder why he has blown up in popularity in the past couple years, and why his comedy seems to resonate with these times. It always feels...

I’ve spent the past few hours reading Ned Hepburn’s blog.
It’s fascinating. I often wish I could write just as he does. Sharing thoughts about everything and anything. Telling stories about random events. Effectively articlauting all the things we generally think about but find it difficult to convey in words.
He’s a writer with no inhibition, he doesn’t seem to...

For the longest while, this little thing I’ve got going here has gone on a downward slope, not necessarily in a negative way - but what was originally intended as being a “music blog”, turned into what is now a blog about me.
Here’s the catch though, a blog about me, inherently becomes a blog about music, because it’s the only thing I find myself constantly...

It’s freaking incredible. I just cried a little.

It’s sad to have lived such an awful life, to the point where people celebrate your death.
What a world.

The Weeknd’s “The Party & The After Party” is the best song of 2011, imo.
Specifically, “The After Party” part.

Why Is Art So Damned Expensive? →
“If I can’t sell something, I just double the price.” That’s what Ernst Beyeler, the great Swiss dealer who helped found Art Basel, reportedly said. Some people actually prefer to pay more than makes sense. Zelizer explains that, in all walks of life, we treat the biggest sums -differently, with special respect or even awe, than more-everyday money. “I think very often the price paid for a work is...
