Cassidy was the first postmodern man
One of the first really startling images in Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is that of Cassidy flinging his little sledgehammer over and over. Up and down, spinning end-over-end, his body a well-oiled piston of muscles and smooth spasms of movement. “A kinetic trance. flipping a small sledge hammer up in the air over and over, always managing to catch the handle on the way down...

For embedding music, have you seen SoundManager2?...
That’s fantastic! Of course, I don’t know a word of javascript, but I banged it into shape anyway through liberal use of cargo-cult programming and copy and paste.

These cops sitting behind me in the restaurant are talking about their respective colonoscopies and it’s kinda disgusting but what can you do, it’s not like you can sush a table of police officers in public or even I suppose in private.

I think I know why I don’t like to listen to the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks anymore, and it’s Yoko Kanno’s fault.
I realized it when I sat down to actually listen to Bjork for the first time, and realized what a debt that Yoko Kanno’s compositions for the new Ghost in the Shell series owed her. (A less charitable way of putting that would be how much of those OSTs ripped off...

Mom: But you're abandoning people like me, who think that's weird.
Me: With all due respect, people like you don't buy CDs anymore, either.
