A little intro on why I'm creating this thingy.

It is a hallmark of failing societies I’ve learned, this requirement that one always be in possession of a valid reason to exist. This is a haunting, beautifully written book and the framing implicit in the title and what the book posits is that you're e...

Greg Graffin's Punk Paradox is an interesting, winding read that works well as a compliment to Do What You Want . The latter gives you a full view of Bad Religion 's history, this gives you a full view of Greg's. Greg has been the only constant member of t...

A compelling, empathetic and flawed read. It certainly draws you in, but much of the detail of the author’s experience(s) with her mother is surface level. You know there’s more there, you can feel it, but it’s left unsaid. It’s a pattern that repe...

DeMar is one of those classic "fuck fuck fuck stay in front of him — oh god he's in the paint — fuck put your hand up — nice defense, oh shit he made it anyways" guards. Stay in front of him, make the game as hard as you can but know that he's going ...

I really wanted to love this, but I only kind of like it. blink-182 are one of my favorite bands and Travis is an incredible drummer, who has been through quite a lot, but I didn't find myself particularly engrossed or engaged with this. There are quite a ...

This is about so much more than basketball. I picked it up for the basketball connection (and I'm glad I did) and it uses the structure of a game (quarters, timeouts, asides) to guide Abdurraqib's love and conflicted relationship with his home. It is about...

I am the very definition of a casual fan of The Cure . I have the utmost respect for them but, you know how there are those bands that you enjoy and know are important but don't fall in love with? The Cure are one of those bands for me. I went into this wi...

Another compelling exploration of a unique and important album by Steven Hyden. I didn’t “get” or appreciate Radiohead until well after Kid A came out but it’s now one of the first Radiohead albums I’ll reach for. Hyden capably explores the album...

I grew up after the Challenger tragedy occurred and — as such — didn't have a personal connection or framing for the disaster. Higginbotham does an outstanding job crafting a narrative, humanizing the victims of the disaster and ruthlessly layout out t...
