Lilah ,'Destiny'
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.
Corwood! Did you know there's an interview with Linda Thompson in the newest issue of The Believer ?
We're reading that issue for my book club (this year it's All Magazines!).
Anyway, in Small World news the guy who interviewed her is a friend of mine from college.
No, I didn't know! Thanks for the tip!
Three hours of MTV circa 1983, available online: [link]
Mark Goodman is the VJ.
eta: Forgot to mention - this includes commercials as well.
I would just like to mention that Cobra Starship + tiny venue = so much fun, I'm surprised it's legal.
This one's for Corwood:
On the one hand, Mr. Monk had obvious talents, but on the other hand, his piano playing was very messy, and his songs had many funny notes and rhythms. Over the many years that I have been studying his music, I have grown to the conclusion that his songs would be much better, and much more popular, if many of the dissonances, or "wrong notes," were removed. With my new CD, "Hans Groiner Plays Monk," I have done just that.
Wow, talk about your profound point-missing. I wonder if he'll clean up Cecil Taylor next.
The name "Hans Groiner" sounds like something out of Pynchon.
Pynchon is a musician, y'know. Maybe this is one of his jokes.
It wouldn't at all surprise me. After agreeing to do THE SIMPSONS cameo, nothing he does would surprise me.
When I first read the quote (without going to the myspace page) I just assumed it was parody....
A lot of the comments seem to think this is a joke.
