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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I thought that ringing in my ear was just tinnitis.

Luna were definitely underrated. Even by me. Every time I'd see them live I'd be amazed by how good they were. It's like my brain had bulk-erased the joy I'd felt from all the previous times I'd seen them.

I highly recommend the Luna documentary "Tell Me Do You Miss Me". Great performances and good interviews as well.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What did you think of Dean Wareham's book, Jon?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The last time I saw Luna live was probably '94 or '95, but they were always amazing when I saw them.

I highly recommend the Luna documentary "Tell Me Do You Miss Me".

I'll have to check that out.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I haven't payed the Patrick Stump vid yet, but I have it open and paused in another tab. When did Patrick start cosplaying Matt Smith from Dr. Who?

Interesting question. I've known Dean since the Galaxie 500 days and conducted a long radio interview with him when the book first came out. If all you know of him is the book, he doesn't seem very likable. He's always had a bit of an attitude but is one of those people that's quite nice once you get to know him. In discussing the section of the book that deals with him leaving his wife to be with Britta, I said to him, "I can empathize with what you were going through, but I can't sympathize." He nodded and replied, "I can see that." And we're still friends.

Unrelated, I totally missed this but Don Kirshner died a few days ago: [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I appreciated Wareham's self-honesty, his willingness to look like a dick.

And frankly, there was nothing atrocious in his behavior. He wasn't punching ducklings in the face.

Hey! Some ducklings deserve it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

To be fair, that duckling was looking shifty.

Yeah, I can forgive a lot of dickishness in a person if they're self-aware of their dickishness.
