hardcore

the other night at a reading at our store a young lady (who publishes a local journal) mentioned something about websurfing at work.
i said, oh you have an office job. i remember those. you should check out this site and, too embarrassed to speak the words aloud, i began to write down TheSuperficial’s web address.
oh!, she said, i already read that. do you know gofugyourself?
yeah yeah, I said. and then she passed on this gem to me:
What Would Tyler Durden Do

what would he do, people? what would he do?

other required reading:

Walter Kirn and Gary Shteyngart debate what the role of the novel is in the age of the Internet. whatever, Slate.

These pictures of Agnostic Front headlining the last ever hardcore matinee at CBGB posted on BrooklynVegan are rad. just look at people's faces! would i have gone to this show? hell yes! but i would've hid in back keeping my booze safe and sound. rounding out the bill were Murphy's Law, Madball, Sick of It All, and Harley's War.
