greetings, human!


[Since I'm not really updating this as a blog anymore, might as well put something like this here, eh? Check below for new radio playlists and occasional other missives.]

I'm Jesse. I'm a writer and a DJ on WFMU.

Some of my favorite articles about music and other topics are here. My shows are all archived.

Recently, I helped assemble a DVD of my father's animation, called Celestial Navigations: The Short Films of Al Jarnow, produced by the Numero Group.

A few pieces I've done have been featured in collections. I've also done a bit of educational work. There's lots of writing scattered around this site, mostly under the category headers on the righthand column, a well as links to a few recording projects.

I play in a band. You can follow our adventures on Twitter.

Which is also where I'm at most of the time:
