“Mr. Gold and Mr. Mud,” Townes van Zandt
The traditional holiday spiritual.
Now here’s what this story’s told:
If you feel like mud you’ll end up gold
If you feel like lost you’ll end up found
So amigo lay them razors down.
At first I was mildly disturbed by the news that my 9-year-old nephew already had his own cell phone, but now I’m all for it. Texting with a 9-year-old is great fun.

An astonishment: PJ Harvey singing “Grow Grow Grow” on French TV in 2007. Her voice in this clip is just… I can’t even… I mean, WHAT.
O PJ Harvey, why couldn’t you have stopped in Chicago on your current little trip to the US? Why do you spurn us upstanding Middle-Westerners? We’ll build you a Clockwork Orange set just like the Gauls did, is this what you require?
