THE SCORE: 500

According to Blogger, this is my 500th post, so excuse me whilst I step back for a moment and pat myself on the shoulder for, well... a job well done or making the effort or being consistently consistent or all of the above. In this spirit of self-congratulations, allow me to point you towards several articles I wrote over the years for Perfect Sound Forever online music magazine. Helmed by the nicest guy in all of New York City (he tolerated my noxious presence in his shoebox apartment for a whole week when I was there in '99), Jason Gross, it was one of the very first web-based music mags worth a bean - one of the best - and continues to be so. I've been too ensconsed in flattering my own sense of self-worth w/ Lexicon Devil to make many contributions these past six years, but back in the day, I wrote a whole lotta nonsense for 'em on a variety of topics. Some of these pieces are horribly dated and downright embarrassing (the Stooges one falls under both those categories, whilst the SST piece is a mess), but since they remain in the interweb stratosphere and will continue to haunt me for time immemorial, why not just get it over with and draw some unwarranted attention to them here?
