April 21, 2011 – 10:42 pmI’ve been listening to Kanye West’s “Monster” pretty obsessively for the last couple months, but just watched the song’s listless official video for the first time and found it really disappointing.

Cat Faber’s “The Words Of God”
February 6, 2011 – 6:55 pmThis is another, meditative Sunday afternoon song, each of I’ve lifted from either this post or its comments section). This one though is not satirical and should be genuinely amenable to the more sophisticated theist (or pantheist or other believer in a philosopher’s god of some sort), who wants more God in her view of [...]

Shuffling Space And Time Like A Deck of Cards
October 25, 2010 – 7:49 pmSean Wilentz on how Bob Dylan overcomes the illusions of time: The question of the ballads, though, and why Dylan was drawn to them so early on, is interesting.
