Agile, Mobile, Hostile: A Year With Andre Williams →
The full feature film is now available on Hulu.
I’ve been working for/with Twangfest for 9 years, and the greatest thing I’ve done, the thing I’m proudest of, is convincing my fellow board members to book Andre Williams for Twangfest 13 sight unseen. The man is a legend and a treasure.
And batshit crazy.
And the subject of some of my favorite musician photos I’ve ever...

Go watch Jimmy Pardo, please and thank you. →
Click the “Scene Selection” button, and go to the third scene. The man on stage is Jimmy Pardo, and he is my favorite comedian working today. I’ve been a paying subscriber to his podcast, Never Not Funny, for as long as it’s been running, and it’s well worth the meager asking price. Jimmy is in Indianapolis at Crackers in Broad Ripple the second weekend of September,...

The year is ‘94 and I am driving with uncut drugs in the trunk of my car
In my rear view mirror I can see the police
I’ve got two choices: I can pull over the car or
Run away from the police by pressing the gas pedal hard
Now I don’t want to have the police chase me down the highway
Plus I have got some money: I can fight the case in court
So I pull over to the side of the...

“Design is a job. It requires understanding and applying business rules, technical constraints, research analysis, success metrics, and user needs. Don’t hire ‘creatives.’ Hire smart workers.”
Also, the article that I’m going to point every potential client to before working with them. (Good) designers will appreciate this, and if you have occasion to work with...

I deleted every location/check-in account I had after I read this post by Merlin, because you shouldn’t give a fuck where I am, and rest assured I don’t give one about where you are, unless we’ve agreed to be somewhere together and you aren’t there for some reason.

October will bring the release of Strychnine Dandelion, the debut waxing from The Parting Gifts - who, in case you haven’t heard, is a kind of garage rock supergroup fronted by Coco Hames of Nashville’s Ettes and Greg Cartwright of Asheville’s Reigning Sound. (Hey, Nashville ‘n’ Asheville - alliteration!) Also playing on the record are Patrick Keeler (Greenhornes,...

I should just stop reading stories like this, because it puts time and significance into a perspective that I’m unprepared to deal with and would be better off never thinking about again.
