If you've been paying attention, you've already read my award-winning essay on Radiohead's Kid A, submitted to David Barker's 33 1/3 "Under 21" essay contest back in June, and just recently posted here on the good ol' BBW. Please, take a seat, enjoy a fine glass of whatever swill you've got nearby, and listen closely to the dulcet sounds of John Mayer actually doing something good for once. His cover of Radiohead's "Kid A" is, embarassingly enough, what persuaded me to not hate Kid A's easily hate-able electronic ass. Which you would know if you had read the feature I assume you already read.

John Mayer - Kid A
Radiohead - Kid A

[o] Hiatus

BBW will be on hiatus while I move to Chicago in the next two weeks. When it will return is anyone's guess.

[o] I Did It! Almost!

In case you haven't been watching the ever-buzzing BBW board, back in June I entered David Barker's 33 1/3 book series Under 21 essay contest, in which any writer under the age of 21 could submit an essay on any album. The winner would have received two-hundred-fifty smackaroos and would be a for-real published writer, not this silly interwebs craziness.

Anywho, I wrote about Radiohead's Kid A, robots, and John Mayer, and received an Honourable Mention on Barker's 33 1/3 blog when the winner was announced in July. So now you, loyal Bornbackwards.com reader, can read my Mention-worthy essay here on this very site. Please read and feel free to post a message on the board to let me know how you liked it!

Thaaaaaaaaanks!
