Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Host ,'Why We Fight'


Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is there a new album due/out, or is this just delayed REAL GONE and/or playing the tunes for the masses?

The only thing I know of that's forthcoming is Orphans which is a big set of songs which didn't belong on other albums. I had the impression it might be box set sized. But like Neil Young and Prince, Tom's got a huge backlog of unreleased stuff.

This is not a bad thing, and he might be going for a "beat the bootleggers" move.

He had to buy the Alice tapes off eBay. They were stolen out of his car.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

I have recently discovered that I can't scan a page of text with the word 'South' on it without thinking, for a moment, that it reads 'Sonic Youth'. How the name of a band I don't particularly care for has come to replace a much more heavily used word is beyond me.

Get out of my cooler, Sonic Youth!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, it took me way too long to realize that "South" is actually a word I am familiar with and not some strange word that rhymes with "truth."

Art Crawl!!!

I think that you are confusing south and "sooth" - one kind of rhymes with truth and the other kind of means it.

No, it's just that I scanned the post and saw that there was a connection between "South" and "Sonic Youth" so I pronounced "South" as some sort of "Sonic Youth" portmanteau.

The perils of scanning the word 'south' are many and hairy.

Holy carp! I had not heard that. Don't you got straight to the unspecial hell for stealing from Tom Waits (unless you're Frito Lay, in which case you just get your ass sued for beaucoup simoleans)?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I think you get to share an extra-special hell with the Wallace and Gromit thief.
