Dead links tell no tales

It somehow feels more real to me when I complain by ennumeration. So here it goes, the things that are annoying me:

1. I had to beg, borrow, (administer backalley handjobs) and steal to get 2 ad-free pages for my Decemberists piece. Shouldn't be that hard. The 2 pages I got were in Arts and Culture, not Music.
2. After Colin Meloy's publicity human drug her feet on getting me an interview, I had exactly ONE day to write my article.
   
3. The Inlander has a crappy website.
4. The Decemberists piece doesn't show up on the main web page (see 2 above)
5. The Decemberists piece doesn't show up in the music section of the website (see 1 above)
6. No one going to the web page will have any idea where to find the article (see 3,4,5 above)
   
7. The transcript I promised you folks should be linked at the end of the print piece (which, as you recall is in Arts and Culture, not music, and is inaccessible from the front page). It's not.
8. Even if it were, people looking for it (I mention it at the end of the print edition of the story) wouldn't be able to find it (see 4,5).
9. There's never enough time to do anything well. I feel like everything I do is half-assed by necessity.
   
10. The thing that's annoying me most of all--at the moment--is how whiny I've gotten.
    

Anyway, for what it's worth, here's the article itself, without the kickass art Collin, Joel and I worked so hard on, and without a link to the transcript. And, now that I'm reading it with a day's distance between the article and my critical eye, it seems pretty damn choppy. Vapid. Meandering. Pat. Flowing over with cliches. Fuck.
