Legion. An amalgamated journal.
  • About Legion
    "I do not know whether mine is a profession, or a trade, or what not. It is not yet learned, and in every instance has been practised before being studied .... It is not one but legion." —Henry David Thoreau, to the Secretary of the Harvard College Class of 1837, in response to an inquiry on his employment.

    At Legion, we reserve the right to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, and criticise after dinner, just as we have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, herdsman or critic. Legion is an organ of the Matinicus Syndicate, of which more here.

My iPod is indie-tastic and I get exactly no action.

I had Dear Science three days before it dropped. Want my number? Don't you read THE CRIMSON?

The Crimson persists in torturing Harvard’s most underprivileged minority: people who have good taste in things. For one glorious moment, I had a dream that my datability would be judged not by the appearance of my ass in jeans, but by the content of my iTunes… and then I remembered that the last time I tried to get away with playing an indie mix in a large Harvard social gathering I was actually boo-ed.

Also when was it that we were all stealing one another’s iPods to judge indie-ness without talking to one another? Was it at Yard Fest during GAVIN DEGRAW or JOEY DEGRAW?
