TEETH

I was having a bit of a work-induced tantrum this morning when B emailed me a link to this, which pretty much solved all my problems. It's like, you don't even need to read the article because the picture is so badass. That is my kind of article. Walrus pictures and the stupendously beard-y new Bonnie Prince Billy record = instant bliss.

Also, FYI: This Thursday (5/22) I'll be reading from my 33 1/3 book on Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" at Word in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Matthew Stearns (Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation") and Michael Fournier (The Minutemen's "Double Nickels on the Dime") will also be reading, and Jenny Eliscu, from Rolling Stone, will be moderating a post-show discussion.

The event starts at 7:30. Word is at 126 Franklin Ave. (G to Greenpoint Ave).

Also, incidentally, if any of you are tooting around during the day, I'm participating in a panel discussion ("Visualizing Popular Music") at NYU at 2PM, as part of the Cultural Studies Association's annual conference. Come by! Wear yr best elbow-patch'd corduroy blazer!
