Weakened Update
It's been a while since I've updated, and as you might imagine, a hectic schedule and periodic laziness are to blame. Some noteworthy events of the intermission:
* seeing the Arcade Fire in concert at Emo's (did I ever mention how unbelievably awesome this was? I just checked my planner (lame, yes, but the most reliable means of figuring out where I was etc) and this show was on the 21st of January. Good God, that's like five weeks ago! Michelle even got some choice snapshots of the band going wild onstage, particularly Napoleon Dynamite's twin brother who was well worth the price of admission himself. Maybe 5 weeks from now I'll get around to posting a handful of those pictures. If you're a voracious Pitchfork reader like I am (and yes I realize that in some rarified circles this kind of confession is verboten), you've already heard that this Fire is a force of nature/once in a lifetime event/hyperbolic superlative of your choosing. You've heard that, and I can confirm it. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
* applying for graduation. Severe soul pain ensues.
* began writing for the Battalion, A&M's student newspaper as a senior journalism major in the thick of his last semester. Better late than never, right? Whatever. Two published stories so far, on black history month and Whoopin' Weekend, respectively. Registration seems to be required to access back issues, so maybe in the future I'll just post the finished thing here.
* began writing cd reviews for Frequency , the online zine arm of the college station of College Station, KANM. There's some pretty good stuff here on both music and film. My reviews, which I'm mostly satisfied with:
Bonnie "Prince" Billy & Matt Sweeney, Superwolf
...and you will know us by the trail of dead, Worlds Apart
And in sad news, Dr. Gonzo shuffled off this mortal coil. His ashes are to be shot out of a cannon, as per his final wishes.
