Not eating shrimp is also an option.

On Who Is More Gangster, Rick Ross Or Timati?
That Rick Ross video has some excellent editing. Boring is definitely a good descriptor of the rapping. I mean, he's a great promoter, salesman, product-placement special-events publicity kind of guy, so artistic insight isn't really his thing. He ought to consider rapping in Russian.

On Thirsty Park Slope Moms Will Let Little Beauregard and Synesthesia Run You Down for Beers
Out here in Oregon it's a pretty clear and workable distinction: the brewpubs are for everybody in the neighborhood, including children, and the bars are for haunted drunkards. We end up only complaining to sympathic audiences.

On Spiritualized, "Little Girl"
Dear God, not the stunt motorcycle thing again. B+ for palette, F for originality, creativity, imagination, sincerity, commitment, inspiration, talent, and vision.

Being a museum curators is like being an interior decorator for a bank. Exactly like.

On How Silence Works: Emailed Conversations With Four Trappist Monks
This is a really great piece. But in defense of we deafened, harried, non-contemplative brothers on the outside: it ain't exactly a picnic in the park trying to keep both God AND women happy. I mean, come on. But yeah, I appreciate the prayers and support.

On Jay-Z And Kanye West, "No Church In the Wild"
That video is like a Zoolander montage. And the song is meaningless. It's all pointless. It's a cheeseburger commercial, an empty entertainment for low-information consumers. It's horrible horrible horrible. A totally unwelcome, un-asked-for, intrusion of attention-seeking stupidity in an already overflowing ocean of moronic, pointless diversions. And maybe I'm being too kind.

On Scenes from the Zombie Apocalypse of "Urban Beach Weekend"
@Binne Also maybe these sort of single, town-swamping mass events are just less common along the East Coast Megalopolis? Out west every town that annually expects its core to be overrun by visitors absolutely vacates just prior. Try and find a life-time resident anywhere near Sturgis in August, for example. I don't doubt for a moment that the Miami Beach situation is heavily inflected with racism, which unfairly misrepresents how equally black and white people behave like assholes when they party in somebody else's town.

On Chef Listens To Unappetizing Music
Quite honestly, I don't see how anybody can hope to do excellent work if they're not listening to Tool.
