Martin Douglas' Top Five Goals for 2012
This list is more for me than for you, but you can read it anyway.
Finish writing my novel, work toward getting it published.
Move to Austin and live with Sarah while she finishes school.
FINALLY GET A FUCKING LEATHER JACKET.
Have enough money to afford my own plane ticket to Chicago in July. (Sidebar: My sincerest thanks go out to everyone who pitched in. That was one of the kindest things...

AS SHITTY AS 2k11 WAS AT LEAST WE GOT TO MEET THAT WAS A HIGHLIGHT
The greatest thing about my 2011 by far is the fact that I finally got to meet so many cool people from the internet, all of them I will proudly consider lifelong friends. Martin Douglas loves all of you.

Why is this month-old photo of Jay-Z, Kanye, and Aziz finally on the radar? Nothing happened to them today, right? Like, they didn’t rob a bank and then slip on a banana peel right into the back of a cop car or something, right?
TOP FIVE ‘TOP X HIP-HOP TRACKS OF 2011’...OF 2011
pussy-strut:
Have you been obsessively trying to rank all hip-hop tracks you’ve heard this year as a part of curating your internet presence? OF COURSE YOU HAVE. But also, have you been waiting for other people to do it first so that you can make your list “edgier” or “more underground” or, crazily, “less pretentious”? I’m gonna do you one better. I read all the lists1 so you don’t have to. Who’s...

Man-Size Magazine's First-Annual Parks and... →
Remember when I said that I was working on a list that was more Martin Douglas than any music-related list I ever could have come up with? Well, here it is. Through my intensely complicated selection process, I have picked the ten best characters of Parks and Recreation for the year 2011, and the impact they’ve had on the show’s progress. I hope it is anywhere near as fun for you to...
people who don't think they need editors or more...
heronqueenblues:
the funniest joke in existence.
If you always agree with how you’re edited, you don’t have enough faith in your own vision. BUT if you’re the type of writer who doesn’t think you need an editor, you’re exactly the type of writer who needs an editor.

Now that my music writing for the year is over, I’m working on a list for Man-Size that is more Martin Douglas than any music-related list I could ever come up with.
I’m having so much fun writing it that I barely noticed that it’s only 8am.

The Remainder of Martin Douglas' Favorite Albums...
How many more times am I going to say that 2011 was such a great year for music? Not many more, I promise you. Since my talking-about-music-burnout-level is at brush fire status right now, there’s no way that I could possibly do five- to ten-sentence write-ups on all of the other albums on my year-end list that I have yet to write about. So, let’s clear the bag, shall we?
