blogging is like ice skating to me: i haven’t done it in a while but it’s fun!
this blog will mostly be about music. i anticipate that it’ll take the form of a listening diary, with excited forays into discussion of things i know very little about, like the sichuan pepper, plosive consonants, and dog breeding.
it’s named in honor of a conversation i had with the composer robert ashley, which can be read at the end of this article, which i wrote a few years ago.
my old blogs can be read here, here, and here. my other current music writing can be read at pitchfork and the village voice. let’s start. i have only myself to fear.
yours,
mp
