Eventually another story as relevant or interesting as the fact that the NY Times wrote a story about this dude will show up, and then yes, it will be good not to drag it into other threads.

I think there's probably a degree of Aspergers at work with this kid. I mean...
People with Asperger syndrome often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. They may stick to inflexible routines, move in stereotyped and repetitive ways, or preoccupy themselves with parts of objects.Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of AS. Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as weather data or star names, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.

Hi! I'm David Shapiro, a 23-year-old pseudonymous blogger and the author of Pitchfork Reviews Reviews. I'm into live music DVDs and concert recordings, borrowing my mom's car and taking day trips on the weekends, nature documentaries, BlackBerry devices, and, probably most of all, long-form music journalism and criticism. I live in Clinton Hill in Brooklyn and if you live around there, you can catch me after work at the Met Foods on Fulton and St. James where The Notorious B.I.G. used to be a bag boy. Sardines for dinner!

So it turns out there are a heck of a lot of one-hit wonders!
According to an analysis of every artist that's appeared on Billboard's Hot 100/Top 100 chart between 1955 and today, about half of the artists that appeared on the chart never reappeared. That means that almost half of pop successes are one-hit wonders! This is pretty sad for a huge group of people. But maybe when they die, they go to a heaven where it's always the week their song was on the chart and they feel awesome.

He is pleasant to talk to and has the attentive eyes of a good listener--however, his attention this evening is divided among a tremendous group of people he has to greet, thank, and shop-talk. His elusiveness only works to preserve an aura of mystery cultivated over nearly the past two years, starting with the fact that his name is not David Shapiro.
Having a pseudonym (“I just picked a name that gets lost in Google”) serves as a buffer between David’s music and culture writing online, and his other career at “a very conservative institution in downtown Manhattan.” In addition to his third career as a neophyte screenwriter, David is also responsible for The World’s First Perfect Zine, a one-time publication he created with an impressive roster of collaborators from the worlds of music, film, literature, and both print and digital media. He is 23 years old.

All I can say is that he does have a few things up his sleeve, even though he’s going to Brooklyn Law in the fall and will not be able to freelance for a year as a condition of his scholarship. That means he will no longer be publishing work at Interview, Fuse, Gawker or The Wall Street Journal, though his Tumblr is fair game.

Awl Music is meant to emulate the MTV experience of thirty years ago. We have VJs just like MTV did back then, and these are people you already know. Dave Bry, Jeff Rosenthal, Sarah Johnson and David Shapiro—all friends of The Awl—are programming the channel. Awl Network editors like Alex, Choire, Edith and Adam will also contribute. There will be guest VJs like Emily Gould and her "Songs About Gossip" playlist, as well as crowdsourced selections like the "Summer Jams" playlist. Everyone who programs the channel has great taste. Each one has a different taste.
