But you still like Black Angel's Death Song, right? Because I do.

On 'Public Apology,' The Book, Coming Soon
I am buying this thing, because I cannot adequately express my love and admiration for this column except with actual money*. Congratulations, Dave Bry!

On When Pets Die
Saw both of these pieces first thing this morning. Nothing like starting the day with cascades of tears, right, Alex Balk!

This is really beautiful and really sad, and what I want for 2011 is for you, and everyone who reads this, to be okay.

I am trying to figure out what the other Top Five Most Important First EPs would be.

On Louisiana Coast Forecast: Oily, Ruined (Like Bobby Jindal's Career)
Agreed. As another ex-Louisianian, watching this whole tragedy slowly unfold has been both transfixing and tragic. Cord Jefferson's Arizona piece a few days back is pretty much where I am w/r/t my home state and its choices.

On A David Foster Wallace Conversation
Wow, the host is unbearable. I believe he might stop talking at some point, but I'm not positive.
