I feel like I do this every time there’s a YCMIU, but I’m doing it again: these are my favorite Videogum features and I hope they go forever until the world crumbles into dust.
Thanks! I don't know where I'm going yet, as I stil have some schools to hear back from, but I was accepted to Berkeley, which is one of my top choices, so I may well be back in the Bay Area soon!
I have loved the Petting Zoo so much. I used to refrain from watching the videos during the day so that I could watch them at home with my wife. Thank you Kelly!
I was started Stereogum around 2008 when some bands I used to play with were mentioned on it. I moved to NM and had a terrible, terrible sales job at first, where I really needed internet distraction. I went from Stereo to Video, lurked for a while, and then started commenting, and have continued to do so for at least 3 years now (maybe 4? maybe 5?). It's been something of a constant for me during my time here in NM.
I just found out over the weekend that I've been accepted to a PhD program and will need to move in a few months. Videogum ending right after I found that out feels spooky but also feels like this:
