(July 2007 till who knows when) My current project. All 500-plus Manhattan landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places, blogged. Favorite posts covered SoHo and the Brooklyn Bridge--the latter got a nice notice on William Gibson's blog. (Not linking to it because even mentioning it already feels too self-serving.) |

How Not to Defend Muzak and Papers I presented at the Experience Music Project Pop Conference in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The first is about my tortured relationship with elevator music; the second, the National Review's tortured relationship with rock music. |
Off-site Bloggings No Britney, No Peace: I liveblogged the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards (the Britney "comeback" one) for Idolator back when Idolator was cool.

Sad Careerist Résumé Padding I contributed to the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. Then it was the Idolator Jackin' Pop poll in 2006 and 2007. Then back to Pazz & Jop in 2009. It makes my mom real proud of me. There was this thing called alt.music.alternative which used to be great. I used to hang out at the I Love Music and I Love Everything boards. And then I just got tired. I waste my time on Gawker and The Awl these days (code name: dickdogfood), not to mention Flickr and Twitter and Facebook. |
