My little brother and his rag-tag band of weirdos are releasing their debut album “Remember When” on July 20th on Autumn Tone Records. I am proud. I am jealous. I can’t wait for these punks to take over the world. This record has more spirit and electricity in it than most have in…
Babies.
Was smiling and making faces at this adorable baby on the elevator, who was amused and giggling. Then I realized my my music was super loud from my headphones, and the song was called “guilded cunt”; the mother was not amused and giggling.

The Tweet That Begins the Zombie Apocalypse
This is not the kind of Tweet you want to see from a feed that describes itself as “an automated Twitter feed provided by the Illini-Alert System” that is “not actively monitored by a human being.” In essence, we have a robot reporting to us that some kind of hazardous material — what, we don’t know and can’t discover — has been released within a biotechnology research center.The Institute for Genomic Biology has a wide variety of research programs including stuff like “host-microbe systems.”
For 52 minutes, that was all the information that was available. Then, two tweets came in fairly quick succession. The first said that the “spill” was “contained within the building.” The second said that the building had been safely evacuated and “The fire department is on scene.”[…]
This really sounds like the opening line of an updated version of the post-apocalyptic novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War or a plot point in Colson Whitehead’s Zone One. There’s something chilling about, “Escape area if able to do so.” Escape? From what? And why wouldn’t I be able to? WHATS HAPPENING?!?!
Ok, sorry. Carry on. I’m sure zombies aren’t closing in on Chicago or anywhere else.
All clear, everybody. Put those bug-out bags away.

And tell each other how we sang
To keep the dark away."
