Seriously. Reveal yourself to the world. I want to be your new best friend.

Today, at 7PM, at work, the fire alarm went off.

And then it kept going off. For 20 minutes.

What did I do?

I continued to dilligently write the zit cream copy I’d been putting off all day.

And when the fire trucks’ sirens started to whirr outside? And the fire marshall came over the intercom to state that we should remain calm while they investigated?

I kept writing the zit cream copy.

And then I had a breakthrough:

Either the fire drills of my youth were counter-productive, or I need a new life. ASAP.

Clearly, this is why the nation paid attention to the strife in Iran for all of a week.

And the crisis of Michael Jackson for, oh, I don’t know, however the hell long it’s been now.

Neglect of structural updates to Facebook = people bored enough to pay attention to other stuff.

Thanks, Facebook.

Prove me wrong. I dare you.

In case you were really sad about my lack of shameless self-promotion, I wrote a few more reviews of the Tiny MIx Tapes:

The Factory, “Path Through the Forest”

Polvo, “Cor-Crane Secret”

Because I know your life was tragically lacking for my own lack of shameless self-promotion, I have granted you this gift of overly-verbose reviews of obscure and escoteric albums that approximately two people care about.

Please validate my existence by reading them in their entirety.

Thanks.

My last post was at the end of May.

Conclusion: I am lazy.

I propose “baguette.”

That’s why I’ve taken to doing a bit of freelance music writing in addition to the 60+ hours a week I spend doing salary-based advertising copywriting. Go figure.

Shameless self-promotion in 3, 2, 1…

Go read my first Delorean review for Tiny Mix Tapes of Doo Rag’s 1996 album ‘What We Do’ here:

You can also read an entry I wrote about them in this here blog, if you’re particularly curious:

Observation 27: This is the best use for a bunch of garbage that I have ever seen.

Thanks for stopping by, y’all.

Back to the grind now.

But instead, the complete lack of snakes indigenous to the region.

Admittedly, I really, really hate snakes.
