Some shit I've been consuming...<\/p>\n

Music:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Modern Lovers - Modern Lovers. Love it. You already know that.\n
  2. The Specials - Specials. Fun Brit ska-revival. Made me want to listen to Sublime. Then I listened to Sublime and learned that they're one of those bands whose hits are far better than the rest of what they do.\n
  3. Ramones - Rocket To Russia. My first Ramones. It's 1\/2 great, 1\/4 good and 1\/4 crap.\n
  4. Albert King - The Best Of. Love the early stuff - before he started playing with big horn-encrusted bands. The early singles are killer.\n
  5. BB King - some big monster iTunes collection. B.B. has a better singing voice, but I still like Albert King better.\n
  6. The Avalanches - Since I Left You. An impressive technical achievement - so many samples! I still don't like dance music.\n<\/ol>\n

    Books:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. T\u00e9a Obreht - The Tiger's Wife. A wide-ranging tale about the intersection of fable, family and war, in an unnamed Balkan country, before, during and after various wars. Very nice.\n
    2. Jeff VanderMeer - The Third Bear. A collection of short stories from one of my favorite fantastical authors. Among many great stories, it contains one of my favorites, \"The Situation\" - which describes the surreal office politics of a bunch of genetically-modified post-human creatures. That story appeared in an earlier compilation of his short stories, but I was glad to read it again. And you can read it here<\/a>!\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
