Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's definitely one of their finer moments.

From the snob site listing on Lester Bangs:
Though every Rock Snob worth his salt reveres Bangs (a heavy biography by Rock Snob author Jim DeRogatis was published a few years back), his writing has aged rather less well than that of his less strident contemporaries Richard Meltzer and Nick Tosches.
Tosches I'll grant, but not Meltzer. I still like reading Lester. In fact, the current issue of Mojo with Lou Reed on the cover has exactly the kind of prickly, cranky Lou Reed interview you used to get with Bangs. Except the interviewer here is studiously polite and not drunk. So where I just said "exactly" perhaps you should substitute "sort of."

Did you see them on ACL?
Unfortunately, I did not.

Meltzer is indeed a drag. A wordy, self-important drag.
I also enjoy reading Bangs, and love Tosches when he's not writing godawful fiction.

That's definitely one of their finer moments.
And now I'm picturing Red and Kitty on the couch, rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got Eric's Kiss records out. That was a great episode when he walked in on them having sex.
"In the Street" was the perfect choice for the theme song of a show that features a stoner circle.

Unfortunately, I did not.
It was ok. They played their first few songs ("Here Comes Your Man" and "Wave of Mutilation" and one more, I think) quiet and slow and sped things up considerably with "Vamos".

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
What you do is not a folder, but a label (which is done) and then archive it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. From snobsite:
Oh, and by the way, the cool Beatles song for Snobs to like is “Cry Baby Cry,” off Side 4 of the White Album.
Discuss.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I was gonna not post, but letting go is not my strong suit. Gentle encouragement to anyone who still has CDs from the exchange. I would still like to get the remaining CDs.
And because I have no hope of the track lists making it back with the added feedback, if anyone had feedback on my mix, you can add comments to my LJ entry here [link]
