RIP Robert Quine show on WFMU.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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

Trudy's slutty, but demurely so.
This CNN story about Quine was listed as one of their top stories (front page, not entertainment section), which strikes me as bizarre. The people he's most "famous" for playing with aren't that well known. Yeah, Lou's got giant influence and elder statesman status, but what percentage of CNN readers have heard anything other than "Walk on the Wild Side"? Sure, lots more than have heard of Richard Hell and the Voidoids, but...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'd never heard of him until yesterday.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I've been listening to Rain Dogs a lot lately and Quine's guitar on "Blind Love" is the very definition of sublime.
Vaguely apropos of this, Richard Hell did an in-store appearance at the Tower Records in Boston while I was working there. He was remarkably gracious to every person who crossed his path, a phenomenon that was not often at work during "celebrity" in-stores.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My first impression of Quine remains the strongest - his guitar on "Blank Generation" is utterly savage and completely swinging - a very rare mix of daring and chops.

Entertaining interview with songwriter Jim White today on Soundcheck. Liked him more than the songs they played, but I liked them, too.
One of the Calexico guys will be on Fresh Air tomorrow.
Funny interview with Peter Stampfel at furious.com. From the intro: "Even though this interview may seem lengthy, his musings and answers are interesting and enlightening enough to be printed in full. If you think I'm being sentimental, tell me you don't want to hear about Connie Francis meeting Jeff Beck, making love to a gazelle in a zoo, trading a banjo for a car, The Motherfucker Creek Babyrapers and getting guitarists from Jeff Buckley and Lady Complainer."
David, are you familiar with Lester Young's "Crazy Over J-Z"? Good tune -- that's not why I mention it, of course, but it is primo Pres if you decide to play it for the missus.

Nope.

Thankee, Mr. Boucher.
