I was a librarian in Greenwich Village and had The Nick Tosches Reader on my “staff favorite’s” shelf next to Ulysses and one of Nick’s friends told him and so Nick e-mailed the library asking to meet the librarian that had his book on the shelf next to Ulysses and long story short he took me to play mini golf and see Kung Fu Panda. It was like a totally bizarre dream. We became good friends. He was as wild and chaotic as you’d imagine!

just signed up for a sub with meundies.com, man. Name dropped you. Here’s hoping for that sponsorship, brother. 😄

Dino by Nick Tosches is a fantastic book 👍

32:00 Not what I expected but respect for the coming-out! I can relate to it totally - in my twenties I was all about literature, wrote a bad novel even, and now at 38 I'm a full-time data scientist and a part-time investor, and I spend way more time reading 10-Ks than reading novels. Never would have guessed but here I am.

Sorry for spamming the comment section but can't help myself. About Secret history - if you decide to read it, I'm 99% sure you're gonna hate it. Just a feeling I have. Not sure why. But it's a strong feeling.

Well, we gave it a try with Spanish classes, maybe I could drop some Portuguese lessons in our meetings? That would be fun, and it would be satisfying to see you learning it. 15 min each meeting could do!

Luca Goroshevsky

just purchased a copy of Cartoons, look forward to reading it! thanks for the rec

Brandon Glasgow

I figured you would get so many questions about books that I would shake it up a bit with a music question :) Man, I bet Eyehategod was a ripper of a show! Thanks for answering, I will have to check out Death Grips.

Only 8 minutes into this, but I just read Miss Lonelyhearts over this past weekend and good god was that incredible. One of the best things I've ever read. So it was great to hear you mention it as a favorite of yours too.
