For seven years I posted a year-end list of 100 favorite songs on Tumblr. This year it’s on my own website. So are the old lists, if you click here.
Bye again.

I suppose I might as well say this formally: if you want to catch up with what I’m thinking and doing, you’ll have to follow me on Twitter or see what’s going on at my new website. I’ll probably turn on the blogging function there at some point.
Sorry new followers, you’re not getting any more cool image posts from old comics out of this account.

100 Songs, 2017.
A Tumblr list of music from a year when I barely listened to new music and barely used Tumblr. Most of my 2017 was dominated by a return to reading books, which I have never been able to do while listening to pop music: if I can’t my give full attention to it, I generally do without.
Doing without has been the major theme of my late thirties. I turned 40 at the end of the year: past time, no doubt, to get serious and stop emotionally investing in what is indisputably a young person’s game. But pop, especially global pop, keeps pulling me back. And honestly at this point I might as well finish out the decade.

Quote
I like the fox-trot and going in an airplane and modern pictures which look equally delicious upside down, and modern poetry which doesn't scan or rhyme or mean anything, and sitting up all night.
E. F. Benson, Dodo Wonders (1921)
From the third book in Benson’s series about a flighty (what a later age would call ditzy) socialite, almost forty years after her first appearance in the Gay Nineties. It is supposed to be amusing that a middle-aged matron has such flapper tastes, but as a condensation of everything that modernism meant, it’s as shrewd as you can make it.

KLAXON KLAXON KLAXON KLAXON
Just One Song More has moved to a new home. 1924 is up there now, along with all the previous years. Apologies to anyone who still prefers Tumblr as their native web environment, but I’ve needed to reorganize and prepare for the long-term future of the site for a while.

Yep, I’ve moved to a website of my own. I might remember to put something here every time I update Just One Song More going forward, or I might not. Follow me on Twitter or use an RSS catcher if you really care: and if you really super duper care, you can support my Patreon.

Okay, tumblr mobile app, since you keep showing me someone’s posts after I’ve unfollowed them, I’m deleting you now.

Clicked through, and whoah. I didn’t realize anyone was out there keeping the flame of 70s Dutch underground comix alive, but this is great Swarte cum Geradts cum Buckinx-style comics, maybe a little heavier on those guys’ influences like Hergé and Barks’ duck comics.
iPhone 64/Alphabet Junction/Frisbee F.D.
My buddy Brian Blomerth has kept busy this past year doing comic strips online. One appears weekly at Vice, one appears either monthly or bi-weekly at a weed-themed website. A press also printed a risograph zine he did this year.
Brian is a funny dude. I have never really talked to him about the choices he makes in his comics, which are weird. His sense of humor manifests in his comics but in this conceptual sense: The gags aren’t driven by the personalities of his characters, all of which are anthropomorphic dogs, but are instead essentially non sequiturs. The comics, especially in the full-color form he’s working with now, are highly design-driven. The gags become “this character design is a nun on a scooter.” There’s a pleasure in looking at the compositions, which often rely on a variation of the characters standing in front of a lively background, which reminds me of The Simpsons arcade game. The way he draws clouds is really weird. These comics have remained a reliable source of pleasure for me over the past year, perfect at being at both “psychedelic art” and a joke about the same, which, due to the nature of the fractal of spiraling self-awareness in the experience, seems necessary and natural. The jokes don’t necessarily make you laugh but they do reduce you to being an open-mouthed cat clock, moving through space and marking time.
This is a good one.

COMICS CREEPS
The cartoonist Hazel Newlevant has come forth publicly on Twitter to say that Cody Pickerodt, who runs a micropress called Ray Ray Books, is a sexual predator. She has linked to a Google Document sharing the testimony of several women, whose allegations vary in severity, and I doubt none of them. I’ve met Pickerodt barely at all, once in Brooklyn and maybe again afterwards at either SPX or smaller shows, but he immediately gave off to me the vibe of a creepy asshole I did not want to be around. I know at least one woman whose work he offered to publish, and I advised her to either avoid him or at least talk to other people he’d worked with first. This was all based on my superficial impressions as a man who he probably doesn’t even remember meeting.
Comics is small and filled with people who maybe identify as being “nerds” or “introverts.” Both men and women often have their own self-consciousness about how awkward they can feel around people, especially in large social settings, that might lead to them forgiving or ignoring red flags. I would implore everyone to trust their instincts, to both protect themselves, and the people they know, and even strangers if it seems they might be being preyed upon by someone you distrust. The small press has a low barrier to entry that allows for people to present themselves as pursuing “professional relationships” solely for opportunistic purposes. Cody Pickerodt, a creepy asshole and terrible cartoonist who I feel confident saying no one likes, should not be allowed to table at shows. Apparently he does not pay the cartoonists he works with for the reprints he does of their work after the initial printings sell out, or share profits. The premise of professionalism is a sham. It is easier, cheaper, and safer in the long run to take the financial risk on yourself than it is to take the risk of working with a moneyman who only seeks to exploit. All of the women Pickerodt published were talented enough that, if they could not take the financial burden of publishing and selling their own work, they would have found someone willing to assist them in an honest and non-predatory capacity.

The effect, if not the prime office, of criticism is to make our absorption and our enjoyment of the things that feed the mind as aware of itself as possible, since that awareness quickens the mental demand, which thus in turn wanders further and further for pasture.
Henry James, “Notes on Novelists” (1914)
