READIN

Jeremy's journal

Somehow, Cleveland has survived, with her gray banner unfurled -- the banner of Archangelsk and Detroit, of Kharkov and Liverpool -- the banner of men and women who would settle the most ignominious parts of the earth, and there, with the hubris born neither of faith nor ideology but biology and longing, bring into the world their whimpering replacements.

— Gary Shteyngart

READIN

READIN started out as a place for me to keep track of what I am reading, and to learn (slowly, slowly) how to design a web site.

There has been some mission drift here and there, but in general that's still what it is. Some of the main things I write about here are reading books, listening to (and playing) music, and watching the movies. Also I write about the work I do with my hands and with my head; and of course about bringing up Sylvia.

The site is a bit of a work in progress. New features will come on-line now and then; and you will occasionally get error messages in place of the blog, for the forseeable future. Cut me some slack, I'm just doing it for fun! And if you see an error message you think I should know about, please drop me a line. READIN source code is PHP and CSS, and available on request, in case you want to see how it works.

See my reading list for what I'm interested in this year.

READIN has been visited approximately 236,737 times since October, 2007.

🦋 On my way back to the old home

What!? I sit down today to link to the video David Rawlings and Gillian Welch made for NPR's Tiny Desk Concert, and I discover that I have never written about them here -- or if I did, I did not include any intuitive search terms like "Rawlings" or "Welch".... Anyway: the David Rawlings Machine is a band that I've been loving ever since I heard them last year -- before last year I had a vague impression that Gillian Welch had a good sound and I ought to listen to more, but wasn't getting around to it -- but last summer Dave gave me a ticket to see them at the Beacon, and I fell in love with them instantly.

So anyway, here is a great show, an interesting synthesis of old-time and brand-new.
