All right, already. You get the point.

Howdy, blog-folk! If you're reading this, you probably know by now that I'm a regular contributor to Do Some Damage's 7 Minutes With podcast, so it seems a little silly to post about it every two weeks, when an episode goes live (as the fifth one did today).

If you're in the market for some dumb jokes and fun recommendations, maybe give us a listen. If not, then you're in luck, because I'm gonna stop bugging you about it here.

Stuff & Nonsense

The lovely and talented Alex Segura was kind enough to feature me in his latest newsletter, in which we discuss what I've been working on lately, recent reads I'd recommend, and the only reason I'm not morbidly obese. Give it a gander, and consider subscribing while you're at it!

7 Minutes With, Episode Four

For this episode of 7 Minutes With, Steve and I steal a page from the AV Club's late, lamented "Random Rules" feature by pressing shuffle and talking about the first five songs that come up. (It's possible I was just too lazy to prepare.) And, of course, Jed and Holly talk movies and TV, respectively, albeit with considerably more forethought. Click through to give it a listen!

Authors Unload

In his latest column for the Washington Independent Review of Books, E.A. Aymar asks Alex Segura, Lori Rader-Day, and me what prompted us to contribute to Eric Beetner's UNLOADED Vol. 2, the proceeds of which benefit States United to Prevent Gun Violence. Click through to give it a read.

7 Minutes With, Episode Three

Episode three of Do Some Damage's 7 Minutes With podcast is now live! In this episode, Steve Weddle and I chat about two new records worth checking out, plus classic July releases from Elvis Costello, Mission of Burma, the Beastie Boys, and more. Steve also talks to Jed Ayres about movies, and Tom Pitts fills in for a vacationing Holly West on the TV beat. Click through to give it a listen.
