i played bass for sonic youth last night, mom 

(pic by So Stark)


Mark Ibold, seen here in a nice yellow t-shirt, was at CBGB's last night, with a bass guitar in his hands, next to, um, Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo and those other people. Youthy something. The former Pavement bassist has taken over Jim O' Rourke's old job. Does he put that on his resume? Does Jim O' Rourke have a resume?

Someone needs to answer these nail-biting questions.

Works

• I'm working on a novel. Houston, in the year 2024, is filled with rappers-as-sorcerers and a 33-year-old Mexican-American DJ named Juan Gomez who lives with his parents. What is more sci-fi than rich Mexicans? Living in River Oaks while a mysterious red Buick Regal roams the neighborhood and a pint-sized Rhodes Scholar rapper who is obsessed with Schopenhauer. A part-satire, part-thriller, part-naco science-fiction novel where David Foster Wallace meets UGK? Look for it on bookshelves in 2093.
