I would also like to receive some credit.

I used to work in the record store, I had everything before anyone. I was there in the Paradise Garage DJ booth with Larry Levan. I was there in Jamaica during the great sound clashes. I woke up naked on the beach in Ibiza in 1988.

You’re welcome!

I'd actually like to take credit for this post. In 2001, I was at the Grand Canyon with my family. I saw a man standing at the edge of the canyon, claiming he was going to take his own life. I walked up to him and begged him not to do so. I told him he had so much to live for, and that he was likely a very talented musician. I asked him to sing me a song, and he began to mutter the words @TenderLovingKiller® just wrote. He walked off the ledge with me and we went to get a sandwich. The next year he went on to form LCD Soundsystem. That man was James Murphy.

I was also 13 so when he mentioned being naked in Ibiza my dad started to distance me from him a bit.

Ah, but I would like to be given credit for that moment that you described here too.

See, I was the person who helped an young Ed Roland, lead singer of the 90s post-grunge act Collective Soul come up with the chorus for their 1995 hit song, “The World I Know”. See, I was at an Atlanta area bar in early 1994 when I walked into the Men’s restroom to discover Ed, standing a full two feet away from the urinal trying to take a long range piss. So I walked up to Ed and said, “Ed you really should walk up on urinal and step to the edge to see the urinal cake below. See, that’s how you know your are close enough to the urinal, if you can see the urinal cake you’re good”. Now obviously he took some liberties with what I said but it’s basically the same thing.

Next thing I know that song is on modern rock radio ALL THE TIME. Which of course inspired many people to jump off ledges in the latter part of the decade just to escape it’s ever present (yet catchy) melody and experience the sweet relief of endless silence.

So again. You are welcome.

So… Neal Francis… I LOVED his debut and nothing has really had that spark since. I do like
each of his following albums and while Return to Zero is not as good as the debut, it is easily his best work since.
