If Music Could Talk

Righteous. Thanks.

I'm not really lurking, just working too much and dealing with family crises. Plus my internet leisure time has become book time.

I'm out of things to say, so don't expect much. But thanks.

Fuck.

Thanks, gang.

That was pretty great. Mine is almost done. We get a little more work done every day. I've become the Brian Wilson of delta blues. The thing is a fucking behemoth of stitched together instrumental sketches and vocal affectations. The one thing I will say is that there's no danger of it falling apar...

I don't even read pitchfork.

Aren't they all minor nominees though, at the end of the day? Cut the Crap is so nuts that I still see music people talking about it*, people who don't even care about the band.

*It's entirely possible that's this board's fault, what with our staggering media influence.

Second Lone Justice album, maybe. First one too, in some ways.

The new Pixies album is similarly tragicomic and profoundly ill-advised, though I feel it shouldn't count, being a reunion album.

Although I like the idea of treating Cut the Crap as a found record, as outsider art, which is a territory it legit veers into a couple times. I think there's a home for it there. Allowing people who were anywhere near the orbit of the record to get involved makes this made up project seem, I dunno,...

I for one am shocked that punk and crypto-libertarianism have such overlap.

Oh, well, I was hoping the love and adulation of the punk rock community would be payment enough.

You've outdone me.

I'm sure he'll just wander in during the encore.

The joke is that the album's magic could only be recaptured by complete avant-garde chaos.
