I did a podcast not long ago while on tour with my band Détective for Joyland Magazine. Brian Joseph Davis and I talked in the tour van for at least an hour about a lot of non-libelous (I hope) things including but not limited to the band, my screenwriting and rock musical writing for Steven Soderbergh, and I think my forthcoming collection of short stories. Probably not so much about the last item, since I don’t really have much of interest to say about short story writing, and I was pretty drunk. Anyway you can go here to download the podcast from iTunes or here to stream it.

For reasons surpassing anyone’s understanding, I was interviewed by New York Tyrant publisher Giancarlo DiTrapano for VICE. I taked some about my new band Détective, and a lot about my forthcoming story collection, Everything Flows, from Curbside Publishing. You can read it all here.

Everything Flows

A collection of my “stories,” leaning hard on the figurative sense of story, will be published by Curbside Splendor in November of this year, with the usual caveat that the world may end right around that time in which case never mind. I do hope my forthcoming book will in no way [...]


A collection of my “stories,” leaning hard on the figurative sense of story, will be published by Curbside Splendor in November of this year, with the usual caveat that the world may end right around that time in which case never mind. I do hope my forthcoming book will in no way contribute to the end of the world.

The title of the book is “Everything Flows,” after the Teenage Fanclub song of the same name, which is not only the best Teenage Fanclub song ever, but maybe the only Teenage Fanclub song ever. It’s the first song on A Catholic Education, which was their first album. Some might find it a little hyper-crticial that I would call the first song from the first album of a band their best and maybe even only song, in which case I have no really great defense except to say that’s my opinion on the matter, and I don’t really care to hear yours, even though I’m probably wrong (as usual).

Second-Hand Blue: The Movie

On July 28, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In Artificial Light, Curbside Splendor, James Greer, reading, Second-Hand Blue, short story, video

Well, not exactly the movie, maybe, but the trailer, at least. Over a bed of hastily-improvised guitar feeedback, I read an excerpt from my story “Second-Hand Blue” in Issue 1 of Curbside Splendor, and then CS publisher Victor David Giron gave it to this really talented guy named Garett Holden, who created a [...]

Well, not exactly the movie, maybe, but the trailer, at least. Over a bed of hastily-improvised guitar feeedback, I read an excerpt from my story “Second-Hand Blue” in Issue 1 of Curbside Splendor, and then CS publisher Victor David Giron gave it to this really talented guy named Garett Holden, who created a kind of Hal Hartley-esque (in the best possible sense) video accompaniment.

It’s really beautiful. Much more beautfiul than the writing (and reading) deserves, but I’m lucky that way. Dig it:
