"“Do yourself a tremendous favour and go to a record store today. The relatively mild exertion of getting off your fat, computer-shackled ass and venturing out to find the object of your desire, the thrill of moving through actual space and time, through row upon row of records, and the tactile ecstasy of fondling the quested treasure—all this will enrich you for the rest of your life." - Grinderman (Nick Cave)
I love how J Mascis doesn't so much play a song as he totally assaults it.
@Mather - The basketball deed is done. I'm on to the volleyball. I've gone Ministry 'Psalm 69'. I have chosen very, very wisely.
@Mather - I've gone Parliament/Funkadelic for the basketball finals. How's the In The Flesh Part 2 volleyball montage coming? I'm sure it was received with open arms by your producer.
"What would be great is if everyone who bought a record got a comp ticket to a show." - Gord Downie. RIP Gord. Thanks for everything.
"There is a view that jazz is 'evil' because it comes from evil people, but actually the greatest priests on 52nd Street and on the streets of New York City were the musicians. They were doing the greatest healing work. They knew how to punch through music that would cure and make people feel good." - Garth Hudson, born this day in 1937.
"We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice." - Jerry Garcia, born this day in 1942. And I love black licorice.
"I'm really bad at promoting myself online. I just can't conjure up the enthusiasm for it. I find it really boring. The level that people would pump themselves up to was complete bullshit. There were people I actually know on there, and I knew that they were wildly exaggerating." - Daniel Ash, born this day in 1957.
"They just said, 'Roll the tape.' No rehearsal or nothing... Muddy Waters didn't come in and say 'I wanna rehearse.' He used to look at me and say 'Let's just play the blues." That's all you need to do." - Buddy Guy, born this day in 1936.
Damn - I think my USA badminton beast Khang just blew out her Achilles. The King Crimson did not protect her.
"I'd rather be dead than singing 'Satisfaction' when I'm forty-five." - Mick Jagger, born this day in 1943. He's still regurgitating 'Satisfaction'...........and charging a bloody beaucoup for a ticket to see him do it.
"The soul of rock 'n' roll is mistakes, and making mistakes work for you. The people who shy away from mistakes and play it safe have no business playing rock 'n' roll." - Paul Westerberg
"I don’t envision a long life for myself. Like, I think my life will run out before my work does, y’know? I’ve designed it that way." - Townes Van Zandt
"The key to looking good in a cape is the way you take it off. You should look like those sword-fighting people, the Three Musketeers. Taking it off, swinging it, that's what makes it cool." - George Clinton, born this day in 1941.
"There aren’t enough people who care about the future. They are too busy worrying about today and what they can grab now" - Berry Gordy
"There's something about losing friends, particularly young people, where it's not something that you get over. I don't believe there's a healing process." - Chris Cornell, born this day in 1964.
"After years of making wrong decisions in my life, in 1977 I found out that it was all right to be square, simple, and sober." - Martha Reeves, born this day in 1941.
"I used to go to Cleveland just to see any band. So I was in love a lot of the time, but mostly with guys in bands that I had never met. For me, knowing that Brian Jones was out there, and later that Iggy Pop was out there, made it kind of hard for me to get too interested in the high school guys that were around me. I had, uh, bigger things in mind." - Chrissie Hynde
"If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not." - Grace Slick
