The music of Annette Peacock I saw her at Big Ears a few years back, it was her singing and playing piano with almost no breaks. I thought it was kind of boring. I did listen to X-Dreams, and that was pretty good. Massively underrated? I'd say going out to a restaurant, movies, or concerts by yours...

I think 'Wonderwall' is a pretty good song, it's just become ubiquitous and overplayed. That's not really Oasis's fault. I used to like 'Santa Monica', but not so much anymore. The chords would be a good Lesson 1 for aspiring guitarists. 'Glycerine' is meh to me now. I bought that first Bush album, ...

FWIW, Debbie Harry does commentary on Criterion's edition of Videodrome, so, you know, you're halfway there...

Finished Marc Ribot's Unstrung the other night. It was ok, more a collection of writings than a straightforward autobiography. I was hoping it would be more of the latter, where he talks about working with the artists he's collaborated with.

When I'm preparing dinner and my wife is relaxing, reruns of Friends or The Office are what's on TV as mostly background noise. I like 'em both just fine (the latter more than the former).

Coldplay.

20 years ago they were fine, but now it's just big, boring rock music. Chris Martin and his whole "oh, I'm just an ordinary guy" persona really irritates me.

Oh. So Radiohead didn't make that word up.

Just returned home from wandering around Spain and Morocco. The Moroccan part of the trip was like stepping back in time a couple of centuries. We were staying on the edge of the medina in Fez, ducking in and out of the medina, exploring the sights, smells, and witnessing varying degrees of poverty...

Not from today, but last Thursday I was in Knoxville for the Big Ears Festival.
I saw someone with a PRF BBQ shirt at Secret Chiefs 3 set.
I was shy and not sure how to introduce myself (Hey! I'm on the PRF too!).

I remember buying this on cassette at a Circuit City because my car only played tapes.

It’s mostly not crap, though side 1 is stronger than side 2. “Becoming” is on my jogging playlist.

These guys approve, of course:
