This website houses over two decades’ worth of articles, essays, interviews, photos, podcasts, stories & videos. Included in this collection is a long-form written and audio project focused around topics of addiction, mental health, and recovery titled Terminally Unique (2023-2024), a pandemic series called the slowdown (2020), and archives from now-defunct music blogs called Culture Bully (2005-2012) and villin (2014-2024). In 2023 I started a small business called Razzle Dazzle Music & Movies and currently do some writing over there. Other recent updates are available here, or for some hand-picked options, here are a half dozen selections to get you started:

• “On Wanting to Be the Type of Person Who Would Write Something like This” (March 2018)
• “We Live to Survive Our Paradoxes” (November 2017)
• “Amusing Myself to Death” (December 2020)
• “The Tattooed Bride” (May 2021)
• “The Metamodern Gospel of Sturgill Simpson” (May 2014)
• “On Forgetting This Ever Happened in the First Place” (March 2018)
