MBV did the sonic assault thing for about 15 minutes.
Only 15? You wuz robbed! They did it for at least 20 at ATP NY.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

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.

Sorry, Tom! I've been planning it since before the F2F dates were decided. It's then because that's when my anniversary is.

My birthday! I turned 23 on that day, and was living in Boston and actually working a few blocks from MIT (at Lotus Development).
Bevis Frond! Excellent #1 choice, and how cool of him to play.

I was shocked when he said yes. He's flying out here from London just to do this one show!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Billboard magazine archive on Google books: [link]
All the way back to 1942.
wfmu blog sez:
Just spent some time flipping through old issues of Billboard Magazine via Google Books. Turns out the goog has scanned and posted full issues of the magazine, dating all the way back to 1942.
Though it's mainly an industry mag, you'll find tons of gems like goofy old ads, lots of bad hair, an article about piracy/copyright in just about every other issue, anti smut campaigns throughout the ages, and a nice overall documentation of the rise and demise of the record industry.

Nahh, I've known him since the 80's. I wrote him a fan letter (something I RARELY do) after I picked up his first LP. A year or two later, I mentioned to him that I'd be visiting London and he invited me to visit his home. Just an incredibly generous guy.
