  • The Monograph is Dead, Long Live the Podcast!

    Proof positive that the most exciting ideas are not found in academia, nor the little mags, but in podcast land. I love how the hosts use their expertise to name a phenomenon any one who loves a white indie guy knows well — chauvinist Dylan worship. As someone who is one of those guys (but also someone who rated Joni above bob, gimmie brownie points), highly recommend. Self crit with nice commentary in pleasing voices and cetera.

Q: Jake, do you think about it with your music?
