a new career in a new town.

July 31, 2005

I’m off to Berlin for a few months. I have a job at Die Tageszeitung, which is sort of like the German Village Voice; I’ll be working with Tobias Rapp, the music editor at the paper. Tobias is a great editor with incredible taste in music. So I am very, very psyched. Expect frequent updates.

I’ve been on a ’90s Wolfgang Voigt a.k.a. Mike Ink back-catalog trip, which is a good distraction, since he’s recorded under about ten trillion different aliases and has a sprawling, massive, and mind-bending list of esoteric and rare releases. These days, I’ve been distracting myself by wending my way through the Kreisel 99s, which you [...]

Brother’s out of the hospital and recovering, but now my dad’s in the hospital, for different reasons. Send good vibes through the electronic ether if you can. Cosmic tones for mental therapy…
