And you may find yourself...: Mrs. Bronfman Jr.'s New Clothes
http://gaijinseb.blogspot.com/2010/05/mrs-bronfman-jrs-new-clothes.html
And you may find yourself. De gustibus est disputandum. Monday, May 31, 2010. Mrs Bronfman Jr.'s New Clothes. On one hand, I'm embarrassed that, a month later, the internet is still. Aflame with intense detraction and defense of M.I.A. before her new album's even hit the shelves. On the other, the tide has turned in favour of her haters, thanks to Lynn Hirschberg's instantly infamous NYT. Profile of the pop star. Of Courtney Love in Vanity Fair. But possibly dumber than M.I.A.'s own shallow s...By, er, n...

And you may find yourself...: Mad-Libs With Norwegian Black Metal
http://gaijinseb.blogspot.com/2010/06/mad-libs-with-norwegian-black-metal.html
And you may find yourself. De gustibus est disputandum. Thursday, June 10, 2010. Mad-Libs With Norwegian Black Metal. I realize it may be gauche to repost something I myself wrote, but I feel like the point is valuable enough not to be left sulking at the ass-end of a comment thread. I did read Abebe's piece on Pitchfork. And see how quick people are to "swallow the music and spit out the cloak" - and whether or not embracing the medium while rejecting the message seems acceptable in the first place.

And you may find yourself...: Déja-Vu Times Two, Part Deux
http://gaijinseb.blogspot.com/2012/02/deja-vu-times-two-part-deux.html
And you may find yourself. De gustibus est disputandum. Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Déja-Vu Times Two, Part Deux. Could this little ditty, famously used as a daytime soap theme song. Have been copied from this Italian thriller score? It's possible: the first tune, "Cotton's Dream", was included in the score for Bless the Beasts and Children. Released in August 1971. four months after the release of Una Farfalla Con Le Ali Insanguinate. Aka The Bloodstained Butterfly. But really, the sus2-maj7/min7.

And you may find yourself...: Through the Looking Glass
http://gaijinseb.blogspot.com/2012/02/through-looking-glass.html
And you may find yourself. De gustibus est disputandum. Wednesday, February 08, 2012. Through the Looking Glass. It's amazing how sexy and dynamic the clinical tedium of recording looks when rendered in gorgeous, smoky cyanotype. It's also amazing how totally unaware I was that my band look like a bunch of fidgety, unshaven chain-smokers. Or that I look uncannily like Dez Cadena circa 1983. Anyway, for those of you who happen to be in Japan this coming March and April, we'll be touring. The AV. Club.

And you may find yourself...: A Half-Hearted Attempt at Genuine Enjoyment
http://gaijinseb.blogspot.com/2011/12/half-hearted-attempt-at-genuine.html
And you may find yourself. De gustibus est disputandum. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. A Half-Hearted Attempt at Genuine Enjoyment. Christopher Hitchens once said, travel - contrary to popular belief - narrows the mind, in that it diminishes difference and spotlights repetition. So it is with the touring musician: the more gigs you play, the more other bands you see, the more other. Appearance of some estranged sonic friend. No wonder all the contemporary bands that push all my buttons are older dudes w...

http://gaijinseb.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
And you may find yourself. De gustibus est disputandum. Saturday, March 31, 2012. Re-Telling Someone Else's Story. The ability to summon Asperger-ish focus upon a task is mixed blessing: on the one hand, I always manage to complete a project to satisfaction by deadline; on the other hand, everything. Else gets sidelined. The closer I come to completing a mammoth project, the more I become a kind of music-studio Gollum: a wretched, washed-out creature that exists to the outside world only in rumour. Yet f...

And you may find yourself...: Misplaced Indignation Again?
http://gaijinseb.blogspot.com/2012/02/misplaced-indignation-again.html
And you may find yourself. De gustibus est disputandum. Wednesday, February 08, 2012. Am I obliged to comment on M.I.A.'s "finger malfunction". Because my most popular post ever - by a factor of over four times. Its closest competitor - is my 2010 takedown. Of her pop-provocateur persona? Because, like, I've got shit to do besides rehash two-year-old quarrels of stage-managed mischief. But fine, let's get into it, if only because it'll be easy. Turning first to the finger itself: really? Hopefully, M....
