AUTHOR.CALHO: If I didn't write it, I would be hitch hiking cross country to Maine and then Alaska in that order. While taking frequent breaks to spread leaflets. And sit in diners. And write on things because I wasn't at a computer. I may still do that in a few years. Writing this also helps me forget about and better understand the limitations of being human, and keeps me busy enough to allow me no free time to burn the world down.

THEMATIC.ABOUT : Collapse often. The things that hold people together and hold them apart and scatter brains. The things that make thoughts go boom. The things that ooh and aah and [expletive deleted]. Sometimes poking around the margins where responsibility ends and the only one to look to is the Original Equipment Manufacturer and say "but, I already pressed 9 for more options and the menus are exactly the same. Can you just replace it?" The answer will be: "please hold." Sometimes hanging out in dark corners. Sometimes following the train tracks. Looking for ways out and ways in and all the while sharing the things seen and heard and done and drawn and written and scorched and healed and teased and caged and dreamed along the way.

The Music that Made the Living 2010

I didn't make it out of 2010 on my own. I had a lot of help from a handful of friends and a lot of help from a handful of artists. If there's one thing that music can do it's make the living a little easier and a little more worthwhile.

My last tracklist was pretty sprawling, so in the spirit of the changes in structure enacted on the posts here sometime ago (changes that have kind of worked out alright I think) I'm going to structure the year end playlist too.

12 months -> 12 songs that tell the story of the year. Enjoy.

Dec 2009>> Nine Inch Nails - The Four of Us Are Dying Go
Jan 2010>> Yoko Kanno - Fish ~ Silent Cruise Go
Feb 2010>> Mum - They Made Frogs Smoke
'Til They Exploded Go
Mar 2010>> Deep Dish - Mohammed Is Jesus Go
Apr 2010>> Aphex Twin - At the Heart of It All Go
May 2010>> Evol Intent - The Foreword Go
Jun 2010>> The Black Angels - Young Men Dead Go
Jul 2010>> Massive Attack - Girl I Love You Go
Aug 2010>> Primal Scream - Higher than the Sun Go
Sep 2010>> Diplo - Summer's Gonna Hurt You Go
Oct 2010>> Danger Mouse - Insane Lullaby Go
Nov 2010>> Sage Francis - Lie Detector Test Go
Dec 2010>> Mathew Herbert - You Saw it All Go

Thank you to everybody that made being alive a joy by parts. Thanks for hanging in there. The caucus squalls on and smiles around the face. xoxo. I'll catch up with you later this week maybe. Sleep tight.

///The Cure - "Plainsong" I love you.
