I get it now! I'll be busy digging my foot out of my mouth.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm not into VU bootlegs really, but apparently this is a big deal. It's the ONLY available live stuff from 1967 and has only become available in literally the last two days. Recorded just after the release of The Velvet Underground And Nico and featuring the debut performance of Sister Ray (19 mins long) and the *previously unheard* song I'm Not A Young Man Any More. That's right, A NEW VELVET UNDERGROUND SONG. And it's fucking good too

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I can barely believe it. For one thing, why did it take me more than two years to write 30,000 words?
Sir, this question ran around my brain for at least a good five months after I turned in my manuscript.
As it turns out, having babies, making a living, doing fun stuff and family responsibilities gets in the way.
Also: Congratulations! Holy shit, you must feel so relieved right now. As for myself, I didn't start feeling happy about it until I had some distance from it and judge the book as a finished project instead of something that was still mutable in my head.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Awesome YouTube video of every song to be in the Billboard number 1 spot on February 29th: [link]
Also, congratulations, Corwood!

Thanks, y'all!
Yeah, David, I hear you. I may not be ready to feel that relief until I'm holding a copy in my hands. But considering how much better the first chapter reads now, I'm glad I took another swing at it.

'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"
Terry Pratchett's comment on how "Everyone wants to have written" seems apropo here. Which is why it always strikes me as very important to congratulate those who have ACTUALLY done it!

I've been amusing myself over the last couple of nights by putting Geneva to sleep by singing Magnetic Fields songs in the style of Tom Waits. It works pretty well! I think we need a side project called Stephin's Wild Years.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
The Scarlett Johannson Tom Waits covers album has taken on some interesting collaborators: [link]
Honestly, the TV ON THE RADIO part is as interesting to me as the Bowie one.
