Saw him open for the Tindersticks maybe 5 years ago, and thought, "my, how boring." Now everybody wets themselves over him. It also didn't help when I read an interview with him in which he slams Rufus Wainwright, then admits he's never heard him.

Assuming he does hear him and maintains his judgment, Mr. Merritt has just shot up eight million places in my estimation.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
But what if Ned has some estimation chart on which ALL SIX BILLION of the world's population are ranked. On that basis an eight-million place shift is hardly seismic.

I'm actually a big alt-country fan, even have a Bloodshot records shirt! Although I do like Rufus Wainwright too. I think Ned secretly does as well.

A bit long distance to respond to this, but in a word -- no.

(also: visual and performance artists, writers, people in film and tv, poets, novelists, people who make creepily kitsch folk art on the sides of rural route 9, people who make video games [producers? what the hell do you call these people?], singer-songwriters...)

Some people's talents lie in making transcendent music for a niche audience. Some people bring art to the masses. Amanda's talent is in shameless grifting. Who are we to judge which is better?

I just listened to 45 seconds of 'Drowning in the Sound' and it immediately silenced the part of me that wants to give every musician a fair shake. The album it's culled from reportedly last 78 minutes.

"Amanda Palmer has 15,674 patrons on Patreon"
I calculate that I had probably had that at least that many dumps by the age of 36 if I had a dump average of 1.2 a day.

her lowest tier is $1 and her highest is $250, if her average supporter is giving $5 then that's $78,370 per month, for Patreon alone, no I am not obsessed by this

imagine getting paid $250 a dump, but only once every 6400 dumpsshow your math
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 20 May 2020 00:17 (three years ago) link
If I get backpaid calzino’s $3.2milli now, I bet I can make it last until the next big dump drop. Even if I lash out with that bounty and eat meat twice a week, it shouldn’t bring my average down to 1.2/day.

Eileen Myles is awesome
Every time I've housesit for a homo friend I always see some Dennis Cooper novel on the shelf called Scum or Tripe or Bum or something and I crack it open thinking "ok maybe this is the one that everybody says I simply must read" and I suffer for twenty-odd pages of utter illegible nonsense before giving up and thinking that maybe JT Leroy wasn't so bad after all
