As of this writing, I believe there are exactly two signed copies of my upcoming collection still available to preorder directly from the press. Let's sell 'em out!

The new Modest Mouse is actually pretty nice.

@hecubian_devil Stop Making Sense was kind of the peak...saw it in the the theatre when it was re-released a few years back, and even then people were dancing and cheering like they were actually at the show. Such joy. Never been topped.

@suzyputrid @steelydante I was disappointed by Darklands as well. I mean, it's a fine album, but it largely abandoned the things that made Psychocandy so exciting. I still prefer Automatic over the second album.

Cancelled a dentist appointment I had for tomorrow because waking up extra early on a Monday to go to the dentist and then having to go to work straight after is just too bleak.

@DepartureJay Is he totally for real with all of this, or is it like an Andy Kaufman schtick?

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@capybaroness Much truth here.

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@EunoiaReview Fucking "poets." The dregs of humanity. Drown the lot of 'em, says I.

@MrTomPitts Yeah, I mean, I wrote a sad poem about the FIRST time it closed...😃

A few beers at Murios on Haight on a sunny Saturday afternoon before digging for records at Amoeba gives one the wherewithal to exist for just a little while more.

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@MrTomPitts Yeah...I had no idea until I got here! This saddens me greatly. Haight without Murios is depressing to ponder.

@ScottLaudati Back atcha, Lovely!

@Profe_Tomas_Eme @BeckyLTuch Whiny, self-important writers are a wound upon the very earth itself! 😃

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@citywidelunch @BeckyLTuch Eh. The journal is very specialized, and their interests and guidliness are clearly stated on their page. I'm guessing the dude spammed them with his submission and got the response he deserved. Writers are coddled too much as it is, and should be told to fuck off more often.

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@citywidelunch @BeckyLTuch They actually seem to be doing pretty okay.

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@_johnnycordova @BeckyLTuch I mean, if you look at the journal's page, they are very specialized. I'm guessing the submitter spammed them with his submission without taking any account of what they were looking for, or their guidelines. He got the repsonse he deserved.

@prog_1211 I've never understoood the fuss about this album. I've tried a handful of times over the years, and it never clicks.

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@_motherslug How does that cover makes sense at all?

[William Taylor Jr. @WilliamTaylorJr]

@thewizardofaug 19 is not a bad age to be listening to Swoon! Such a powerful and unique debut.
