CHRIS WALKER VS. MY FAVORITE SONGS + SINGLES + EPS...
I’m sure I forgot a few, and I left out a lot of remixes and house artists like Jacques Renault, but here are more-or-less my favorite songs, singles, and EPs of 2010. I’ve taken some liberties rather than stick to strict limit; they’re in alphabetical order. Click the artist for a buy link, click the song title for a YouTube link (when possible). Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti: Round +...

CHRIS WALKER VS. MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2010
Just in time for the end of the year: My favorite albums of 2010. If you know me well, my list may have some head-scratching omissions (No Beach House? No Broken Social Scene?), and lacks some obvious critic’s choices (No Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti? No Arcade Fire or Deerhunter?), but the following ten albums are the ones that moved me and spent the most time in rotation as a whole....

CHRIS WALKER VS. MY STOCK TRADER
Me: Obama just sued BP. Think it's time to sell?
My Stock Trader: I've been telling you to sell for a while now. I think our president suing them (has this ever even happened before?) will only add to the reason to get rid of it.
Me: It got above $44 yesterday; it was looking good, but this news... I'm pulling out.
My Stock Trader: Have you heard the conspiracy theory behind the oil spill? It's pretty entertaining stuff. Jesse Ventura did a show about it.
Me: I haven't.
My Stock Trader: Another thing to look at when something like that happens, is which company is in charge of clean up. There's a conspiracy because Haliburton (Cheney's company) bought up the biggest oil clean up company a few months before the spill happened. Among other things, kind of interesting stuff.
Me: Fuck. I didn't even know that. Evidently, neither did Kevin Costner.
My Stock Trader: What does Robin of Locksley have to do with it?
Me: Remember how he came forward with some "clean up the ocean" effort and the government essentially said, "Go away, Kevin Costner"? Google that shit.
My Stock Trader: Hahaha. Kevin Costner owns technology for an oil / water separator that he spent 24 million dollars on? Water World Part-Fucking-Two, bitches!
Me: That's what I'm saying! Isn't it awesome?
My Stock Trader: Hilarious is the word I was thinking, but awesome works also.
Me: Hilariously awesome.

yeatsofhell-deactivated20110417 asked: I thought that I was following you carefully, clearly I can see that I've missed so much of what you've posted by not following wrds + phtgrphy. Your poems are beautiful and your pictures are great. I found you when I went looking for songs by Tyvek, a fortunate hunt.

CHRIS WALKER VS. JOSH LENTZ: PRIME RUN CHALLENGE
A few weeks ago, my best friend, artistic collaborator, fellow food lover, and all around cool guy, Josh Lentz, presented me with a challenge: See who can run more miles in the month of December, loser buys the winner dinner at Prime Steakhouse in Las Vegas. I accepted. Today, being December One, kicks off that challenge. Considering all of the eating, drinking, Christmas parties, and other...
