Ryan Adams is turned into an "emo rocker." Note to the gossipmongerers over there: Having a blog does not make a musician "emo," even if said blog has ridiculous tendencies. It just greases the wheels for the inevitable book deal a little better than your average lyric sheet. [Page Six]

Ryan Adams is a bit of a musical chameleon to be sure...but Emo? um, no...
I'll say, without a shred of sarcasm, that I'm geeked about this news. Dr Adams Films walked the unhinged - hilarious line surprisingly well, and Akashic is one of the coolest indie houses going (they also published the quite-good Artificial Light by GbV's Jim Greer in 2006).
It's a great fit, though I don't really know what "a collection of prose" means--stories? essays? rants?
Best thing he ever wrote or said was referring to a Wilco documentary as "I Am Trying To Bore You To Death." Other than that, I wish he would spend more time playing Chubby Bunny.
