The recent post titled “9″ is the one I’d like to nominate:

- the writer Cracks Me Up.
- the writer makes me feel what he’s feeling, and see it
- the writer shows me his life then and now in this entry

This is a relatively new blog - but in the space of a few entries, having started well, the writing has just soared. This latest post pulls you in and is just completely mesmerising: /random from Not Just Hiding.

Like my previous nomination, Complicity is one of the best blogs around, containing exquisite writing. Only What I Want You To See is not only an inventive format for a blog entry, but reads like a manifesto for a certain kind of online writer.

Alan’s battling with the Rise of the Machines in his post “Enemy Amongst Us”:

I know he’s a published author and all that, but Dave Gorman’s uncomfortable encounter in my local park struck a chord.

And chilled me somewhat.
Bryant Caplan ~ August 1st at 2:26 am #

Very funny with a down-to-earth voice. He’s written a book and now blogs about his experiences trying to get it published.

Edited by Lyle : This is the link that’s being recommended (it didn’t make it’s way into the comment itself) - it’s also the link recommended in the same manner in the comment below. As such, personally I wonder if this is some kind of spam. Time will tell, I guess.

This new guy on the block strikes an unusual balance of arrogant and self-deprecating, surprisingly insightful and totally offensive. I’m hooked on his daily ramblings…Plus, I hear he has a big penis.

Re. comments #9 and #10 above, I think they’re genuine nominations done in a weird way, so - as this week’s shortlister - I’m letting it go through.

This is turning out to be a very diverse week, nominations-wise.

So keep ‘em coming…
Lyle ~ August 2nd at 1:27 pm #

Fairy Nuff, Mike. Just wanted to check, as they both came through looking very weird indeed…

Joe. My. God.: Fake Morning View - Upper East Side. A slice of high summer NYC life.
Chuck ~ August 2nd at 7:26 pm #

I nominate “Losing My Perspective” from On The Job.

It’s long, but oh God it’s worth reading: The Secret Blog of a TV Controller’s Fuck the Media Guardian.

Pure, hysterical vitriol and unadulterated backstabbing bitchiness. A spiteful delight.
Nick ~ August 2nd at 8:40 pm #

Mike, I am NOT on commission - as you wrongly surmised once. The lady doesn’t send one up so much as bring one down these days but the writing remains strangely compelling:

Bit of an unusual one this.

Not a post of the week, but I feel I really ought to nominate Mister Lysander for “comment of the week” following his belated offering on my post “Bitch Didn’t Show”:

Madnesss? Genius? Autospam? You decide.
James ~ August 3rd at 9:09 am #

I nominate Window, from Hymn: http://hymn.typepad.com/song/2007/07/window.html

Great metaphors, he captures the situation very well indeed. Nice bit of mystery as well.
Marc Price ~ August 3rd at 3:41 pm #

I would like to nominate Tooting Commuter! The writing speaks for itself……
Marc Price ~ August 3rd at 4:16 pm #

So you can see that thw riting speaks for itself I thought I’d post the link!
