The disappointing comeback album

So, uh, that was an unforeseen sabbatical. Sorry! Not dead, just incredibly busy with end-of-term work and summer internship applications and preparations for TCAF which is happening now. I wrote about Yoshihiro Tatsumi and A Drifting Life for EYE WEEKLY and interviewed him yesterday. I can't post much about that now for various reasons (one of which being that I really, really need to go to bed so I can get to the festival in reasonable time tomorrow) but I should say that he is one of the most humble artists I've ever met, incredibly so considering what the new memoir represents. Also, he and his wife are a stylish and adorable couple. Between that and the Doug Wright Awards and the fashionista guy I saw wearing Vulcan ears in Yorkville I feel as if good vibes will float me gently towards the ceiling.

I've been taking notes during the show so there will be more to come. Also it turns out I may not be the only music critic with "Like a Prayer" as one of their karaoke staples. More to come about that too.
