READIN

Jeremy's journal

He'd had the sense, moments earlier, that Caroline was on the verge of accusing him of being "depressed," and he was afraid that if the idea that he was depressed gained currency, he would forfeit his right to his opinions. He would forfeit his moral certainties; every word he spoke would become a symptom of disease; he would never win an argument.

— Jonathan Franzen

READIN

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 Shanghai Love Motel

Don't believe the lack of hype: Shanghai Love Motel is going straight to the top (of?). Listen to some great music for free at their MySpace page, go listen to them on Saturday in Brooklyn (Jalopy, 315 Columbia St. between Hamilton Ave. and Woodhull St., 10 pm), anticipate their forthcoming first record. Anticipate!

What's of interest:

➪ Scary Go Round is a web-comic with which I was not familiar before now. Funny! And t-shirts!
➪ A couple of beautiful photos linked to by the Apostropher in recent days. (Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to make Klaus Kinski the Pope?)
➪ An inspiring victory speech.
➪ Three Stuff Smith videos: Jazz Party, Bugle Call Blues, and covers by Sam Bardfeld.
➪ The Luddite Robot has a video of some very fine jazz violin playing by Joe Venuti. In comments, twindowlicker posts a link to some recordings of Stuff Smith.
(Other links of interest at my Google+ page. It's recommended!)
