In the past couple weeks I have begun to try and turn my prose into music, and have had several seconds of success. However, for the most part, that has consisted of finding the rhythm within the prose and bringing that into the melodyscape; today’s project was simply a reading, over top of some grating electrodoom from Gentleman Ben Korman.

Next collaborative tracks: Efraim and Danny, coming up in the next couple of days!

A Hypothetical Situation


Hypothetical situation: say I’m broke, but I know a guy who pays a lot of money for a baby, and I happen to have come across a baby on my way to class, and I happen to have taken it and brought it to this guy, but he happens to have shot himself in his bathtub presumably to find redemption for his terrible crimes- would it be immoral to just leave the baby there? Because I already stole it- hypothetically- and there’s nowhere else that I know of to sell it, and I don’t want to risk getting caught for kidnapping, obviously, so if they find the baby when they find him they’ll just assume he did the kidnapping, right?

In a word, amazing.

I want to have babies just so I can dress them as Katamari cousins for Halloween.

Spotted: a grown man dressed as Scooby Doo doing the Walk of Shame Sunday morning on Essex and Delancey.

I wish I could’ve stuck around Manhattan to see the grown Bjork in a swan dress doing the same thing.
