I admit I haven't been able to get into the quieter stuff Cave has been putting out recently, but not crap for Tender Prey, Murder Ballads, Let Love In, Skeleton Tree, and many other songs not on those albums. He and the Bad Seeds are also a killer live show.

At Primavera Barcelona this year, they've renamed one of the stages for Steve. The schedule says there's going to be a 'Shellac listening party'.

I saw The Verve Pipe at a radio station fest back in '97. They were meh, and I remember they did a weak-ass cover of 'Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds'.

Usually for me it starts with lyrics, or a good song title.
Riffs and melodies come later. On the last album I recorded, the drumming for the songs were done towards the end.

Just recently I've been recording little riffs/melodic ideas on my phone. I don't know why I didn't do this a long time ago.

Her reaction to The Jesus Lizard live was hilarious. Day Two of ATP Vs the Fans I said we should go for the second set… “that guy who’s dick was in my face thirty seconds into the show!? No thanks.”. My wife went with me to see The Jesus Lizard on my birthday a few years ago. We watched it from the...

And I admire how they said "no" to a multi-million $ reunion deal. In favour of a multi-billion $ Dorian Gray computer hologram fuckery show? It seems the only reason they turned down a reunion was because they believe their wizened appearance would be too tragic. Which is vain and silly....

"Dancing Queen" is industrialized, weapons grade pop construction. Enjoyment of it requires a level of letting go that not everyone in our tribe is capable of. Who among us can dance like no one's watching? Yep, that's one of those "get everyone on the dance floor" songs, alongs...

- I knew that Steve participated in the Letters to Santa program, but I didn't know that he and his wife had STARTED IT! That's awesome. - Was listening a few songs from Razorblade Suitcase the other day. I liked a few songs on it when it first came out, then discarded them, figuring they weren't wo...

We started watching Girls 5 Eva. A few episodes in, and it's just ok so far. I've heard it gets better. I really don't like how the scripts have so many celeb references (Dan Cortese?) that are going to require footnotes someday. It's just lazy writing.

No.

FUCK.
