12. all day saturday free / evans stops by / in pajamas till 2 pm / coffee in triplicate / dinner party shopping / spraying monocle perfume at bird / restraining all shopping tendencies

coincidentally christopher middleton was my short fiction professor in college. but he gave me a B in the class and is therefore dead to me.

a secret kate bush obsession

outkast

good article over at pitchfork about outkast (favorite article about them here; discussed here). more about the name “outkast”:

Earlier aliases included 2 Shades Deep and the Misfits—the latter nixed after a teenaged discovery of Glenn Danzig. Both were literal outcasts as new students in the 10th grade at Tri Cities High. Andre skateboarded, wore floral print shirts, and rode BMX bikes. He grew up across the street from the projects, where they watched fights out of the window for fun.

Big Boi soaked up a country influence during his early years in Savannah. In high school, he maintained a 3.68 grade point average and a secret Kate Bush obsession.
