In which the author gets caught up in a riot in Athens

I went there. It was very, very strange.

In which the author witnesses a re-enactment of the civil war, with a free souvenir boot mug, pig races and 1,000 roasted chickens.

In which the author finally gets around to posting the article he wrote for NME about going on tour with Of Montreal and Janelle Monáe.

In which the author visits the Deep South as a “travel journalist” and blogs furiously about the whole weird affair.

In which the author goes to Coney Island and fails to dress as a mermaid.

In which the author wonders ponders socialism, hip hop, and what Gulliver would make of the USA.

New York’s not like it used to be. Well, no. But is that such a bad thing? Not when there are minimal techno wedding receptions to crash

Surely the greatest story ever. Involves a ghetto tiger.
