MISTER FADED GLORY
I'd call this blog a "Critique of Life," except that sounds way too pretentious.
Watch for my first novel, These Monks, a comedy about friendship, frustration, and Des Moines, available later this year.

Down into the top 20 now, with the release of Backspacer only a week away. I know it’s possible to find record cuts pretty much everywhere, but I haven’t listened. Don’t call me a purist, simply call me lazy. On … Continue reading

Pearl Jam countdown continued.
And I can’t even count. Earlier on Twitter, I forgot song no. 28, a tune that charts surprisingly high, the highest off Riot Act, which might be Pearl Jam’s most underrated album. If that’s possible. (Probably not by me.) So … Continue reading

Pearl Jam: The Top 50 Continues.
Right here. Through a cursory glance at my list, I’ve noticed no songs from Binaural made the cut. Not a one, and I don’t even dislike the record – although this has to be proof it’s the band’s weakest, right? … Continue reading

Pearl Jam – The Best 50 – Continued
In a stunning last-minute decision, we dropped Man of the Hour. Currently, I agonize over Grievance, Go and Given to Fly. But this countdown already is awash with the arduous melancholy, so Garden gets the call-up. And, since you asked, … Continue reading
