The Moldy Peaches Made Me Do It

March 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’ve been messing with blogs as cheap and easy web pages for posting files etc., but somehow listening to the Moldy Peaches singing “Anyone Else But You” (I’ll admit it, on the Juno Sdtrk) convinced me that I should try to do an actual blog, given that I have so much to share. But you have to admit, “Shiney Happy Fits of Rage” is way too obvious as a blog title.

At the bottom of the page is the only contribution I ever made to the long projected project of “The Untimely Review: The Review of Old Books.” Or actually its blog incarnation. In fact I wrote the essay for Lorin Stein, who at the time was under the impression that he had been installed as the literary editor of The Rubber Band Gazette, a former trade publication, by the artists Komar and Melamid, who had taken it over in a coup. Lorin soon learned, however, that the coup was on him. At least that’s what he told me to explain why the piece wasn’t being published. And no, I did not get a kill fee.

“Invisible Restaurants” I dreamed up with a grad school buddy ages ago. I will try to add entries…
