could be.

Yeah, it's 99.9% likely it was Newsom. Eggers wrote about her in SPIN a few months ago.

Confirmed.

Yeah, it was a reprint of the SPIN article. I was going to post about this. I'm not sure I trust Eggers at all, but I am sufficiently intrigued. And she's very beautiful.

(it's not on the website because Eggers retained the copyright)

i kind of feel sorry for devendra after hearing some of this. jesus.

Further Eggers-Newsom connection is the decent interview of her (not by Eggers) in the Believer a couple months ago. If you're interested in more of the McSweeney's on Harpist angle, it might be worth checking out.
