Damon Krukowski (Galaxie 500 and Damon & Naomi) on Various Positions by Leonard Cohen [link]
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.
Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I celebrate Don Kirshner's birthday at Hilobrow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Has everybody already seen the Playmobil stop motion animation of Joy Division playing "Transmision"?
Because it's really cool and I wouldn't want anybody to miss it.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I can't check whether or not this link still is valid while I'm at work, but you should be able to watch the Playmobil version side-by-side with the original here.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Huh. Interesting. He mostly agrees with me on it, I see. It's my favorite of the Cohen albums, as a whole.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Doris Day recently turned 89. She gave a rare radio interview last fall, and it's pretty fascinating if you're fan.
She sounds great - she sounds like...Doris Day. And cheerful and laughing. She goes into detail about the car accident she suffered as a teenager which stopped her dancing career and forced her to singing career.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Psst! Patti Smith fans, rock and roll lovers, punks and poets, I've got one of the greatest bootlegs of all time for you.
Patti Smith, Teenage Perversity and Ships in the Night (1976).
Great sound, amazing performance, stellar playing, cool covers, surprising guest stars (John Cale! Iggy!).
