Pitchfork Reviews Reviews

you forgot to log on as "markers"

your insistence that everyone on ilx is either a sock or had some previous persona is really bizarre & just an extreme level of paranoia that i wouldn't necessarily call "healthy"

hahaha

j0rdan y cant u just accept that there are two dorks who regularly update the prr thread

hi dorkson

:/

dude gets around

dudes girlfriend gets around

And then a few weeks passed and I was increasingly needy and weird.

you don't say

^^ hahahahahahahaha

(also i know you guys have all covered this already and don't want to rehash it but the thing about this guy is that david foster wallace only looked like he was indiscriminately writing down every sensation he experienced if you didn't read him very carefully)

well sure, but nobody's saying he's david foster wallace. lolled a couple times at the hurt locker piece, which is good enough for me. he's like shmindie irma bombeck. especially liked this bit:

Sometimes I would go to Amy’s apartment and make her listen to the Spiritualized album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, the really sad one about a disintegrating relationship, and she would just go on her laptop.

And then Amy broke up with me and then I refused to watch the Oscars, and I woke up the next day and read that The Hurt Locker won Best Picture, and then subsequently I had some nightmares about The Hurt Locker which I don’t really remember now.

the affectless tone works well with the flat prose, imo.

so weird that soe ppl stuck up for him though, i feel my world shook

isn't he dead though?

I feel like Maura and the PRR dude represent like complete polar opposites of... well, something.

no special guest twitter slams from Chris Weingarten?

"even the art in the bathrooms here is really sick i think."

julian schnabel is a horrible painter.

a chauffer sits in a big Audi outside, the car idling, reading a book on his iPad, and i'm thinking "damn, even these peoples' drivers read books!"

i also notice that he has buttoned up his shirt so that now, less than 20% of his chest is exposed and i ask him why he buttoned it, "like is it because someone opened the door and there's a draft in here [which there is]? or a style thing?" and he says mysteriously "i like to be comfortable." i ask him what kind of occasion would compel him to wear dress shoes (everyone else here is dressed formally except us, and i just found out about this party like an hour ago, when mike invited me, so he's the only one without an excuse) and he says that he used to wear dress shoes more but they're uncomfortable. i nod and point to my sneakers and try to avoid thinking about the only Julian Schnabel-related thing i can think of, which is the Das Racist line where Victor says "more than a plate—paintings / Prodigy, more Picasso than Schnabel" but he pronounches it SCHNAY-ble so it rhymes

Julian Schnabel says he used to paint in a blue suit, because it made him feel more formal, and then go outside in pajamas (what a topsy-turvy world he was living in!!!), and people would always give him weird looks because he was wearing pajamas outside/in social situations. then i tell him i had a flannel i really liked but then one day someone pointed out that it was a pajama top and i realized they were right so i gave it to elizabeth and now she wears it

also, you're fat like my dad

Where was this mysteriously well-connected "mike" when I was younger and could have done with some last-minute invitations to parties with artists?

"what a topsy-turvy world he was living in!!!"

pyjamas outside?! next thing you know it'll be pancakes for DINNER! WHOA!!!

I don't know how to express how much I like your writing about yourself (Pitchfork reviews being less important to me) without sounding like a weird fanboy, so I won't go much beyond this except to say that if you write a book and fill it with this stuff I will buy it and maybe some copies for my friends.

"learning about art is hard"

2. Describe what you want your life to look like in five years. How about in ten years.

In five years I would like to be a somewhat successful but entry-level corporate lawyer and then in ten years I would like to be an even more somewhat successful corporate lawyer. Writing is nice but stability is nicer, I think.

I have submitted maybe a hundred titles to the producers and all of them get deservedly rejected!!! Titties are hard.

good luck with that, basically.

wonder if there's a slight chance that he was joking

Work hard, take drugs, be self-conscious.

trying to figure out the third point on the triangle that consists of this guy and odd future

... so that I can put 'em in a stable and harmonious polygamous relationship together
