Aw! It is a good thing they got in the practice "parenting" with all of those dogs!
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

I just read that Alex Chilton has died.
No details.
Anyone heard anything more concrete?

Sad now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Fuck.

Fuck.
I am one of those stereotypical indie rock fans for whom Big Star was a huge touchstone.
I first heard Radio City in Boston in '84 - borrowed it from my roommate. Bought Flies on Sherbert at Newbury Comics. But it was in SF where I got fully immersed in the myth. My roommate Matthew gave me both LPs when he bought the Ryko CD reissues. I became friends with Judith Beeman who published the Big Star zine Back of a Car, and wrote for it.
And yeah, I saw one of the reunion concerts (with Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow from the Posies) at the Fillmore. The show itself was amazing but even more memorable was just being in a huge crowd of Big Star fans, all singing along to every song.
I've still got a stack of Judith's zine, if anybody wants a copy.
Thank you, Friend.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I've played my fingers bloody with all the Chilton songs I know tonight. That guy was one of the main reasons that I starting writing songs. Jesus. He'd been squandering his talent for years and he was still too young to die. Some of the best shows I ever saw were Chilton shows. I need to listen to Sister Lovers again right now.
