"that level of individuation, of comfort with not fitting in"
PopMatters has a fucking fantastic piece up on John Darnielle's 33 1/3 book on Master of Reality (which I already wanted to read), including some typically dead-eyed insights on the indie scene, metal, etc etc. And by a fellow Canuck as well (whom I could have sworn contributed to Stylus at some point...) - kudos to Adrien Begrand.
