On the Dial | 'Ruminations' by Conor Oberst

I've been a Conor Oberst fanboy since I was old enough to discover my own music and burn my own CDs. Oberst is undeniably one of the most prolific songwriters of our time. His latest solo album, Ruminations, just dropped.

The Wire | Shelter in Place

I really enjoyed Alexander Maksik's debut novel, You Deserve Nothing, which was published by Europa Editions in 2011, and kept me reading into the early morning hours. I've been excited to check out Maksik's newest novel, Shelter in Place (also out from Europa Editions), which was just released this month. I picked up a copy at the Brooklyn Book Festival.
