Why I Tweet

Jeff Swain recently published a video asking others why they Tweet, so I figured I would respond. As usual, it’s hard for me to be serious about anything, especially through video, and despite two takes at a response I still think I failed. But hey, I’m the bava, and my theme is clean

“Parade” by People Like Us

Another gem from the RSS reader from Ubuweb:
People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) | U.K.

Kathy Acker on Ubuweb

My Ubuweb feed just brought forth another little treasure, this time Kathy Acker reading excerpts from her book My Mother: Demonology (1994) which is set to music and titled Redoing Childhood. This album was released by Kill Rock Stars after her death in 2000. It’s a haunting series of track, perfect for my mindset these [...]
