News: ArtsATL Post

Very cool write up at ArtsATL on the Solar Anus reading series, and specifically the reading with Aaron Belz that I was lucky enough to be included in last month. They have a few kind words about my E.T. piece:
 Matt Sailor, editor in chief of New South, read two prose works. The first, an essay filled with long, running sentences, addressed the “crash” of the video game industry in 1983, which was topped off with the failed “E.T.” game. Sailor smartly interpreted the crash as “a holy purge, the clean burn that leaves the forest smoking, but ripe for the taking root of fragile seeds.
You can read the full write up, including some background on the impetus for the Solar Anus series, here. Thanks to Scott Daughtridge for writing the piece, ArtsATL for running it, and of course to Jamie/Amy/Blake for including me in the event.

Hello friends.

Whatever you do or don’t believe about this time of year, it has been true for about as far back as anyone alive can figure that human beings have celebrated the darkest day of the year with a festival of light and rebirth. In our household, this year isn’t one we’ll be remembering for its light. We’ve lost a lot, so it’s all the more important to take time to celebrate what will always be here no matter how much we lose.

Our wish for you is peace, and hope, no matter what this season does or doesn’t mean to you, whether it’s happy or sad, light or dark. There is a little of all of those moods on this, the 14th almost-annual holiday playlist I’ve sent out. I hope you find something here that makes you feel a little warmer. This year we’re giving up the analog ghost. You can listen on Spotify or Tidal.

However you decide to listen (and whether or not you do), Meagan and I hope 2019 brings you something new.

Cheers,
Matt
