"If you want to be a singer, you've got to concentrate on it twenty-four hours a day. You can't be a well driller, too. You've got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don't ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it." - Otis Redding, born this day in 1941.

"I just block out the demons. I sing. I block them away. I put my pain into my music. I paint. I make my own videos. I direct myself. No one directs me anymore. I am in charge of my destiny." - Dolores O'Riordan, born this day in 1971.

I'm giving away another year of free records beginning in a couple days. Head over here and capitalize on my unsmartness. All the cool kids are taking advantage of me. It's quite fun...

Thread 'Vinyl Me, D: A Free Record Club - Year 3 Official Thread - 36 Winners - Like The First Post, You're In For 2025 - 126 Free Records Given Away So Far'

In September, year two of Vinyl Me, D will come to a close. I can't believe this thing has been percolating for 24 months.

I've had a blast giving away 108 records and I hope all the recipients have enjoyed it half as much as I have.

It's too late to stop now - I'm gonna go for the triple dog dare. Or the Three-Headed Dog if you're a Roky Erickson fan.

I think y'all enjoyed the 3 new winners every month / win once in a year format so that will remain in place - spreads more love and joy that way.

It's very simple to take part in this whole fiasco - simply like this post....

I've made the very irresponsible decision to send 36 folks a free record in the next year. Get in on this lunacy before I'm corralled to the rubber room...

"I absolutely adore and idolize women. All women. I think they are all amazing. The female musicians I've met have been far more inspiring than the male ones. Women tend to be much more creative and ambitious. I think I may have been a woman in a past life." - Robert Plant, born this day in 1948.

Michael Bloomfield, born this day in 1963 - “I was performing with Paul Butterfield and I was the hot-shot guitarist on the block, I thought I was it. I'd never heard of Hendrix...I went across the street and saw him. Hendrix knew who I was, and that day, in front of my eyes, he burned me to death. H-bombs were going off; guided missiles were flying. I can't tell you the sounds he was getting out of his instrument...

"Paint pictures with sound. Find your white-the deepest, roundest sound you can play on the guitar. Find your black-which is the most extreme tonal difference from white you can play. Now, just pick the note where you've got white, pick it where you've got black, and then find all those colors in between. Get those colors down. You'll be able to express any emotion on the guitar." - Les Paul, born this day in 1915

"When you sit down to write something, there should be no guidelines. The main idea is not supposed to be, 'How many different ways can we sell it?' That's so far away from the true spirit of what music is." - Prince Rogers Nelson, born this day in 1958.

"It's not about being upset about the things you might have said or done yesterday, which is quite appropriate at the moment. It's about looking forward rather than looking back. I hate people who look back on the past or talk about what might have been. You can't afford to think about what might have been. You just be aware of what is." - Noel Gallagher, born this day in 1967.
