	and this is the last thing i say about it until the point at which i loudly complain about it FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Finding Home - New and recent photography by Harold Sipe and Christopher Sebela Opening Reception: Friday, Nov 11th 7-10pm The Taxidermy Gallery 1229 Union Ave. (The West Bottoms) Kansas City, MO 64101 website: http://www.luckysipe.com/findinghome/ Show Statement On paper, or in idle thoughts, the road is a long, winding solution. Travel can be leisurely escape, philosophical release or simple salvation. We abandon everything and everyone familiar, but the same-old, same-old... Posted by xtop at 09:49 PM \| Comments (0)

	The Help Me Rhonda sessions Here it is, at long last, 12 minutes (or 35 if you prefer the unedited version) of Murry Wilson lambasting his sons in the recording studio, busting out such priceless lines as "I'm a genius, too, Brian." and "I've protected you for 22 years, but I can't go on if you refuse to listen to an intelligent man." This easily goes alongside such studio tape as The Troggs swearing up a... Posted by xtop at 04:18 PM \| Comments (3)


	some notes on music 10.29.05 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club / Howl Remember when Black Rebel Motorcycle Club sucked? I do, because it was only two days ago that I last held that conviction. Someone gave me a copy of their first album, the one all the kids were crazy about, in that heady year of Detroit saving the world and everyone discovering this novelty called garage music all over again. That album sucked and I didn't even... Posted by xtop at 02:16 PM \| Comments (5)

	patience is its own reward Back when Timmy moved out of the building in May, he took his wireless internet with him and all my dreams of whittling away the moments looking up totally random nonsense like pictures of Ike Turner and downloading songs like Spandau Ballet's "True," I had a choice to make. Either shell out for internet all on my own or hunker down and wait. With three empty apartments in the building someone was... Posted by xtop at 07:42 AM \| Comments (1)

	i'm no longer a freelancer for New Times Now I am a freelancer for Village Voice Omnimedia. Now another owner (er, merger partner) looms. Will things change for Voice readers? There've been two schools of thought among employees during these months of rumor and counter-rumor. One is that New Times might not like the Voice's inherent lefty bent, and might try to change it. The other is that business is business and no one's going to mess with a product... Posted by xtop at 12:18 PM \| Comments (0)

	a typical wednesday New storytime feature here from the thoughtpeach.com team. Stories from my last gig in Chicago, which was 2 years of drunken excess, drug dealers, stolen license plates, shouting matches, embezzlement and a seemingly high-end market research firm hiding a room full of guys working angles on everything, especially exploiting the company for all it's worth. This is excerpted from an email written at the time, so forgive the whatever. But it... Posted by xtop at 11:44 PM \| Comments (10)

	a grand float in the embarrassment parade Digging through my hard drive this evening, in search of something I can't remember, I came across a whole treasure trove of old files I hadn't looked at in months, years or never. And, ever the sucker for bad writing, I dove right in, discovering way too many ellipses, hamfists and the ever present inflated sense of self, which was easily destroyed in the face of so much terribleness wrought with my...

	jt leroy vs. all rational thought, steve almond vs. bloggers Stephen Beachy investigates whether former truckstop hustler and wunderkind author J.T. LeRoy is actually real, or just a wig-and-glasses bedecked illusion conjured up by a 39 year old woman: We can never know for sure whos on the other end of a screen name or a phone line, and given that these were JTs two chosen media, the possibilities of his identity seemed endless. I didnt believe that he was either Ewert... Posted by xtop at 07:29 PM \| Comments (3)

	why you should always answer the phone Phone rings. I answer it. On the other end is my friend Terrance from Chicago, who, prone to opening conversations with non-sequiturs, asks me "Hey, do you remember the guy from Fargo with the wood chipper?" So, since I sometimes serve as T's memory, I say "Yeah. Peter Stormare." "Yeah, him. He's here in the store." T. works in an art supply store. "Wow, really?" "Yeah. Hold on." Then I hear T....

	city visible: revealed! The show is down, the glitter has blown away, the phone has stopped ringing off the hook and the non-stop parade of limousines, cocaine and photo groupies is coming to a slow grinding halt. So now it can be revealed, here's the photos from my part of the City Visible show. There's some big doings afoot, which will make these affordable and ownable for you, the art-frenzied public. But until then, enjoy,... Posted by xtop at 10:51 PM \| Comments (3)


	things i've learned so far this week I can still operate rather successfully over a 36 hour period with just 3 hours of sleep. I am prone to hallucinations far more easily when lacking said sleep. People who self-identify themselves as liberals are lazy motherfuckers no good at returning emails or living up to their promises I need to practice more Writer's block isn't a problem, just write a list or take a walk...

	Vera speaks This is exciting. I rarely expect to get anything by way of response to things written about almost 3 years ago, about a person who seemingly doesn't exist anymore. But out of the blue and forwarded into my mailbox this evening comes something very special. In reference to this, comes this response, sent to Fraction, cause apparently he's the only one who bothered to leave an email address laying around for Vera...

	nevermind I'm sitting on the second floor of a house converted into a coffee shop, and this is so terribly like the coffee shops of legend and mythical horribleness that it's almost thrilling to be a part of this scene. I'm sitting in a dim room with an asian asian-looking man with a texas accent in a hawaiian shirt and sweatpants while through the door I can hear someone playing the same damn...
