From the Ridiculous to the Sublime

I really want to be wise enough to ignore this but somehow I can't.

Have been listening to Panda Bear's Person Pitch on repeat this evening. Lovely stuff indeed, and bewitching. Truly the aural equivalent of floating under an endless cocaine sky on a calm sea glittering with sundrops. (I should be embarassed by a sentence so.... very bad...but really, it's the kind of record that encourages such nonsense.)

"...it's what you do every day that changes you." From "Opera" by Helen Simpson (Getting a Life). Dig this review by this total jackass. Am presently reading her latest collection, with only one story to go.

On a random positive note, I think this Woebot fella has a terrifically thoughtful blog. One has been conditioned to think of all internet-related phenomena as mere ephemera inevitably fated to dissolve and fade away into cyberspace, leaving no trace. Here's hoping that's not the case.
