This may very well have been the music T. Pynchon listened to while writing Bleeding Edge.

Haven't read Bleeding Edge... should I?

That entire Now Age comp is so smoove

SeanG:

yeah be here now!
Avatar 12:45pm
Polk Biggins:

@Liz Hmmm. Excellent question (that I was not prepared for). If you have enjoyed Pynchon in the past then yes. Edge is sort of an updated (digitized?) Elmore Leonard-style tale. All manner of various web-based diversions and rabbit holes.

Kurt Vile playing live on my show next week, btw!

steve:

for what its worth Bleeding Edge is the only Pynchon book i enjoyed enough to finish. that's high praise from someone who rarely reads novels and has the attention span of a goldfish.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:54pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Kurt Vile should be pretty good. Thanks already for that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm
Liz Berg:

Ha ha, that's a great endorsement, steve! Managed to make it though Gravity's Rainbow, so I should be good with Bleeding Edge.

wow liz, finishing Gravity's Rainbow is a major achievement! i am in awe.

weirdest thing of recent memory - ran into someone i went to highschool with (and haven't heard from since, 15+ years) at Monty Hall this past weekend.

That's crazy, Steve! Monty Hall has special powers...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:15pm
Greg from ZONE 5:

WOW. I tried tapping into Gravity's Rainbow last summer. I thought "How hard can it be? It's long, but it's still just a book..." I was so wrong. It is so not a book at all.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:16pm
Liz Berg:

Reading Gravity's Rainbow may be the mental equivalent of donating an organ.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:34pm
Greg from ZONE 5:

Spot on, LB. After the fact I was on all these sites that give you advice on how to read it. I could spend the equivalent amount of time training to run a marathon, you know...

Yup. Gotta admit I just wanna see Trump yell at people and call them losers.

Speaking of Trump - Here's a good read, if any of you are interested:

Cool, will have to check out Jaik's stuff, Meatfucker, thanks for the rec.
  2:04pm
Meatfucker:

I forgot to say face, im good at engrish!

Also, hes pretty awesome, his youtube mostly sucks though. I asked him if he had anything better and he said "Go to my shows!"
Which is perfectly reasonable.

There are like 1,000 'shoegazey' bands out there now, but No Joy sound really good, from that one song anyway. Touring this fall, I may want to attend.

Great show today, Liz!

@Polyus: Have you heard of “Flyying Colours?” They are pretty good and shoegazey: flyyingcolours.bandcamp.com

So true about playing cassettes! I am guilty of the same, thinking, "I'm sure that's really good"... then walk right passed it.
