And you can use the renaissance to try to validate commercial art, despite the differences in intention and practice of the art worlds then and now. That seems at least as wrong, to elevate matchbook covers to the status of timeless classic artwork simply because someone paid for them both. Certain...

I heard Stewart Copeland interviewed by Steve Jones on Jonsie's radio show a few months back. That was pretty good. SC called Jones on stealing a hat from his house back in the 70s. Anyway, Police, NC. Stewart Copeland, prolly the favored drummer of my youth. Stole SO many of his tricks. 'When the W...

I am very nearly of the same opinion as the damned fly, but I have a weakness for 'Your Silent Face.' Bombastic, triumphant synth section giving way to sad little melodica part, fake drums, weired little sequencer rhythms, flat as hell vocals, then back to the triumphant bombast. Nutty.

EXCELLENT topic, John W. Mom's mom - Institutionalized when my mom was young. My mom got to watch her dragged kicking and screaming from the house - she had epilepsy and fell into the stove one day - the neighbors sic'd the authorities on her, saying she was a danger to my mom and sister. Back in th...

Ok, I'll tell it. Dylan had to learn that long guitar solo from Aja for a show we played once upon a time. Note for note.

Damn, it was Larry Carlton on that song, not Skunk.

What show was that?? I missed the band table do a partial cover of "Reelin' In the Years" (if you can believe that...!) and I missed you two doing Aja? Damn. It was a Cheer-Accident show at Fireside Bowl about 10 years ago. Thymme wanted to sing, so I got to be in my favorite band for a n...

Ok, let me lay it out for you. In the suburbs you live in a house surrounded by a lawn, your neighbor also has a huge grass barrier around his home. Ah ya button-pushing bastard. You're just wrong. I think the problem stems from the picture posted at the top of this thread. I live in a building wit...

Man, that "Killing Time," that's a great record right there. Splintered, spastic, swinging. There are enough ideas on that thing to last a career. Was that a one-off 'project' or did they record something else?

I practice to Jackson with headphones on. The fills during the middle of Tellerman are genius, and quite fun to play. If you don't think you are a drum machine in human skin, then god forbid what I must be.. Ach, Mr.apricot, if you can't keep time, it's because you're practicing to Tar records! Bus...
