This year end list is very busy with Douglas Martin activity. Not only did I get the pull-quote for Eat Skull’s Wild and Inside, but I also did the write-ups for The xx’s xx, Wooden Shjips’ Dos, and Sunset Rubdown’s Dragonslayer. In addition to that, I also received the esteemed honor of having an album I helped create written about, with 5 O’Clock...

My Halo Burned a Hole in the Sky
You are so emo. But I love every second of it.
Good. This blog is supposed to be a composite of all of the components that make up my personality, and having Sensitive Dude Syndrome makes up a big part of that unholy concoction.
Boy, your lips are so scrumptious. Your girlfriend is really lucky, but not just because you have such delicious lips.
Thank you, and I agree.
Why haven’t you...

When you go to stand up and it feels like, instead of slightly-time-damaged carpet, you’re standing in the center of a canoe in the middle of an unruly stretch of the river (please don’t ever try this), it’s probably time to lie down.

Martin Douglas: Tigermilk is definitely my all-time favorite album cover.
Martin Douglas: A girl with fairly big breasts and short hair nursing a stuffed animal.
Martin Douglas: Go fucking figure, right?
Meryl: When you put it that way, it is pretty fucking obvious.

See, although I do think Emily Haines is a remarkable lyricist for the most part, I thought this was the clumsiest line from her solo record by far.

Every year is kind of an emotional rollercoaster, right? Every 365-day period has its share of massive highs and crushing lows (name that tune, guys), but I can safely say that 2009 was probably the most formative year of my adult life. There were a few scares (my mom had an episode due to her Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome and was put in the hospital early in the year, my paternal grandfather had...

I took two doses of NyQuil and went to sleep at like 5:30 this morning. I woke up at 11pm. I slept the whole time, excluding the 45-minute period I talked to Meryl on the phone.
With that said, Formspring me. I know you guys have some good questions in you.

A short-but-fairly-well-written list. I gotta give the guys kudos for including “There Will Be No Divorce” (from The Coroner’s Gambit, my fourth-favorite record of the decade) and “International Small Arms Traffic Blues”, but we all know that “Going to Georgia” would top my list, simply because it’s my all-time favorite song. This sort of makes me...

Taking care of yourself when you’re really sick sucks sooooo fucking much.
I can’t tell if this is shortness of breath or a panic attack.
I’m with you, girl. I just came home early from work because I was too sick to tough shit out. I knew I should have just stayed home and called in altogether. Ugh.

My chest hurts from taking a wee bit too much medicine last night. Feeling like David After Dentist right now. Back to bed.
