Editor-in-Chief of Mutable Sound, a publishing company and record label. I currently live in Beijing with my wife, and have written many books and recorded many albums. Most recently I published a memoir, called Welcome to Weltschmerz, which tells the tale of the summer I spent performing theater in bedrooms across America, travelling in a nineteen seventy VW minibus with a woman who broke up with me after the first week, and the misery and the hilarity that ensued.
