strictly roots.
Things that have been keeping me busy: Getting ready to play tomorrow night at Garfield Artworks with the epic Japanese hardcore(?) band Envy (on Temp Res), and a band called Sleeping People (I have to like a band with a name like that) and Knotfeeder (I guess ex-Don Cab, and featuring Andy from Southpaw as [...]
Soon, a comprehensive entry about the holy trinity of Ben Folds Five albums. Then, who knows? I’ll be a 40-hours-a-week-plus-two-classes-and-applying-for-grad-schools man. Perhaps blogging will not be quite the priority it has been for a while? Or perhaps I’ll be in front of this computer all the time and blog MORE about less exciting stuff.
Sometimes I forget you’re here. Not really, but sometimes I’m too busy making food and playing music and hanging out with babies and having loads to do at work, and I don’t have time to update you. One of these days this will cease to be the case again. Until then, bide your time!
Something that I’ve never really “gotten” is WHO is in charge of distributing domain names and all that stuff. I’m not talking about Godaddy or whatever, I mean where do THEY get the right to do that? And this New York Times article brings me a little bit closer to understanding.

So a while ago I made some threat that involved regaling you with some sort of theory about Youtube videos being embedded in blogs, and the fact that it BUGS THE HELL OUT OF ME even though I still love the people who do it because I am very much not a player hater. That [...]

This is the kitten. Say hello to her. Sara K is going to adopt her because my momz doesn’t want to keep her. She likes biting toes and fingers and playing and being frisky, and napping round about 4:00 pm.
No writing for a few days. I’m chillin’, hangin’ with the kitten, readin’ and watchin’ the Steelers get surprised by the Cardinals on their insane new field. It’s the weekend, so you’re probably not reading blogs anyway. If you are, too bad — get outside and enjoy this beautiful weather! Love, andy.
I’m going to expand upon the least in-depth of the things I threatened to mention today: what my band is up to coming up soon. As I obliquely referenced earlier, we’re “going on indefinite hiatus” as of next month. Upcoming shows are: Saturday, August 19 at Roboto with Sinaloa, Life at These Speeds, and html. [...]
I will write to you concerning either Capote, the reasons why I’m annoyed with the trend toward embedding Youtubes into one’s blog, stuff my band is doing soon, or something else seemingly important, or any combination of the above. I’m publishing this as a reminder to myself, and as a kick in the ass to [...]
