Autumn Sweater” has an enviable place in history: It’s one of indie rock’s all-time greatest makeout song.
A fine sentence, and true! Although I disagree with the self-aware thing, which follows. Unless I’m not self-aware enough to know about how that feels? Nb, “Live Forever” is a fine song, but passing up “Wonderwall” seems like one of those (and I generally think they avoid this well) thou-shalt-not-be-uncool moves. Strange, weird, whatever.

My trivial ‘take’ on the Apple event today.

To the people (I’ve read a few things to this effect) saying that the new Apple TV is more circular than square, it’s not: Otherwise, you’d be saying it’s more square than circular. (Think about it.)

I don’t have any skin in the game, but it seems like anti-Apple sentiment has overcome Euclidean geometry. Forget you, Lobachevsky!1


  1. No, don’t forget about Lobachevsky. His work (that I’ve read) is some of the most elegant, imaginative math in history.

Gorgeous! Also, I had to look up where Marfa is. It’s a small (pop. 2,121) town in northeast Texas.
