Hi I'm Rowan, I'm a writer and musician from St. Paul, MN. I post videos about books and videos of me playing music. If you go back really far you can see videos I posted of me and my friends having fun in high school!
Yay! I'm partnered! I started this channel over 18 years ago to post some videos of Animal Collective I had downloaded off of the Paw Tracks forum and now here we are. Thanks to all my subscribers and also thanks to all my ops, shooters, And haters. Filming a new book review tonight!
Thanks all for the warm regards I've gotten as I've been posting talking head videos again! Up next will be a review of the classic Paul Auster collection The New York Trilogy (I had planned to shoot this last week but then he died the day I was going to and I decided to wait a bit first to collect my thoughts). Also on the docket is a review of William Gibson's Necromancer (with a surprise second review nested inside) and I may also make a short video talking about Warhammer as well. Also, with the news today of Steve Albini's passing, I may make a video talking about him and how important he was to me.
Pictures: the KFC Chizza, something I will probably not be talking about in any future videos
Heya! I have shot a BEST OF 2023 video which I will be editing sometime this week and posting! I'll also be making a video review for Blake Butler's new memoir MOLLY and hopefully posting that before the end of the year as well! I'm hoping to keep the spurt of reading going and I'll keep trying to be timely and post reviews! Thanks all for sticking around!
I just uploaded a review of Kirsten Bakis' Lives of the Monster Dogs! I also have in the can a video where I talk about the book I'm writing as well as a review of William Gibson's Pattern Recognition! Very inextricable topics! I will upload the second video in a few days!
Gotten a lot of views and new subs off all the videos I took at the Zorn festival. Seems like lots of OLD WHITE GUYS. Gentlemen, I'm sorry, I brought you here under false pretenses.
I always think about the people who sub to me from concert footage and what they think when I post a book review. Or the people who sub off a cover song. I probably should have compartmentalized my content lol oh well here we are
*tap tap tap* is this thing on? I just shot a new book review. Hopefully will be editing and posting it tomorrow. This is not an indication of a return to regular content, but if you have enjoyed my book videos in the past, well, there will be another one!
