YAY DOT THE AWL DOT COM!!!!!!
Okay now do it again but with Public Apology!
Now do it again but with the End of the 00s!
I'm so ON this ish! Even for the cover alone...
Agreed. I'm a closet book cover-judger from way back, and this one is just so purdy!
I wish I could find a larger version of the image and really get into examining it. I mean, Cat with a dollar sign in his fur! lakshfklashfklsh
I was all set to be annoyed that the cover wasn't a satiric take on A Privileged Life. I am not annoyed!
Where WHA?! Was expecting to wait, like, another year or something!
Also that first tag is going to be all messy if you ever go back to 2003 and do a profile of that band.
Didn't they just release a new album?!
awesome!!
Whoo-hoo!
The Awl is like the new Algonquin Round Table, launching The next generation of great writers.
And also, coining terms like "summer of death" and "knife-crime island."
The Awl does so many things!
Good for you, Chris. Do your thing.
Please tell me that Cat posed specially for this cover.
MONEY CAT!!
I can confirm that the cat did in fact pose. She did not, however, give up animation rights.
