Oh shit, Alex Pareene has a new blog, about that what which will kill you. (Via The Awl.) True/Slant has quite the roster — I knew Jeff Koyen back when he was New York Press production manager and wrote a fucking rad fanzine called Crank.

Also, a very very good journalist has a daughter, and she’s in a very very good band called the Mighty Russian Winter, which is a much much better band name than The Surge. And even has music on the internet.
