"I'm only interested in working on records that legitimately reflect the band's own perception of their music and existence. If you commit yourselves to that as a tenet of the recording methodology, then I will bust my ass for you." - Steve Albini

"When you decide to do this kind of music then you just accept the facts. I just didn't make music that you could sing with a big grin, still don't.' - Gary Numan, born this day in 1958.
"I don't envision a very long life for myself. I think my life will run out before my work does. I've designed it that way." - Townes Van Zandt, born this day in 1944. He designed it. He called it. Sorry he did. Glad for what he gave us.

"When I was 14 I used to have a calendar on my wall, crossing the days off until I was 15, because the school leaving age was 15. Then three months before I turned 15 they changed the leaving age to 16. When I was 18 the vision was to make music that didn't exist, because everything else was so unsatisfactory." - Mark E. Smith, born this day in 1957.
"It's being here now that's important. There's no past and there's no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can't relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don't know if there is one." - George Harrison, born this day in 1943.
"I think the blues will always be around. People need it." - Johnny Winter, born this day in 1944. Amen.

While men of poor beginnings, often can't do anything at all"

What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?

Shit......RIP Dex Romweber.
Caitlin Clark. GOAT.
"I tried to please people instead of believing in my own strength, until the only thing I could do was walk away." - Melissa Manchester, born this day in 1952. The music industry is the devil.
"Do you know anybody under 25 that gives a damn whether you marry a man if you're a man or if you marry a woman if you're a woman? No." - Graham Nash, born this day in 1942.
Vote.
"I didn't grow up in a mom-and-pop, Ozzie and Harriet type of environment, but who did. The more I separate myself from my upbringing, the more I appreciate what it's done for me." - Lucinda Williams, born this day in 1953.

Today I switched from Android to Apple and I finally understand that life in this world is an impossible test to prepare us for eternity.
For anyone keeping score at home, I just fell down my fucking stairs. Right foot slipped right out from under me. No more socks. Damn, hurts. Will hurt more tomorrow. You don't bounce at 63. You thud. Quickly applied an IPA and a Jesus And Mary Chain record. Best possible remedy.
We're very near the end of pretentious car commercial season. #blessed
