"Short books about albums." Dancing about architecture in miniaturized form. My proposals have been rejected three times (the furthest along I got was for an AC/DC proposal, funny enough; so sue me, I think they're under-loved for all they've accomplished) but that doesn't mean that the series isn't uniformly excellent, whether the author in question is opining about the personal meaning of the album in question (the Decemberists' Colin Meloy waxing poetic about the Replacements' "Let It Be"), making up a story about an album (Mountain Goats' John Darnielle imagining a young psychiatric patient's pining for Black Sabbath's monstrous "Master of Reality"), or a more straightforward recitation of the story of any given LP (my friends Annie Zeleski and Amanda Petrusich knock the stuffing out of Duran Duran's "Rio" and Nick Drake's "Pink Moon," respectively). Geek terrain. My favorite place to be.

important, powerful, moving and depressing piece about the life of Jordan Neely. It's a critical NYC story and reveals serious flaws in our systems. Also is a thoughtful profile of a truly NYC figure.

Very easy, yummy, good flavor but you can make spicier if you want and add things like shrimp or veggies but at minimum, it’s flavorful broth and tofu
