You should get the Tortoise/Ex one if you haven't already, Corwood.
It's in my queue for this month. I do love Tortoise so, and I appreciate The Ex, too.
Whoa. Good myth.

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.

In a certain sense, the predecessor to the theremin and the synthesizer....
Except for the part where the theremin and synth won't kill you from repeated playing...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Back in the old days, when 'suffering for your art' wasn't a euphemism....

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Gonna go see Chris Thile play tonight at the Sugar Club, and Neko Case tomorrow night. I really kind of want to go up to Chris and explain how I grew up with him and his bandmates, growing as they did while listening to their albums. But I probably won't.

Ellen Willis, RIP.
That breaks my heart. Her essay on the Velvet Underground in Stranded is one of my favorite pieces of rock and roll writing ever. There was a time in the early to mid seventies when she was a far more important music critic than Christgau or Marcus.

Man, I agree. She was brilliant.

Anyone listened to the new Portastatic? Fan-fucking-tastic!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember when Brian Eno recorded the Windows 95 startup sound? The new version of Windows will have a four-second startup sound by Robert Fripp.
The short startup clip that was eventually chosen is meant to evoke the rhythm of the words "Win-dows Vis-ta!" and Ball hopes the sound will serve as a calling card for the operating system. It also consists of four chords -- one for every color in the new Windows graphic that appears as the sound plays. It's no coincidence that it's also four seconds long.
OK....
