One ThingI’ve long thought that AC/DC’s music is just a plug-in-the-numbers formula. I mean, they weren’t all that original to start with, but it’s not like they’ve done a lot of growing.

It was two years ago already that I did my first post for this blog. Back then I spoke of Café Tacvba, which are currently on a US tour making stops all over US including Chicago, various places in Texas, and Charlotte NC which is only a couple of hours away for me. [...] We’ve lived through many musical eras – punk, funk, new wave…but we’re only living in one, the Time of the Dion. This could change next week. People like Celine Dion for two reasons. Either because they are nut bags who believe she miraculously embodies the überhuman qualities of her song book. Or because [...] After complaining for a couple of weeks, I finally figured out that, like drugs, it really doesn’t help and people just get annoyed at you.

Large furniture remaining at my friend Kat’s moved back to studio. [...] Here’s some of this week’s craps: Love Story: On Pitchfork.tv, for one week only, you can view this documentary on Love and Arthur Lee. For free.

Lots. And if there was a bad thing about being there it would [...] We got a piano! It’s been my lifelong dream to learn to play piano, but my nomadic lifestyle has never allowed me to get one, and keyboards, well, even the nicest ones, are not the same. My grandmother was classically trained, and so was a good friend of my mom’s. As a kid [...] You might think this is a ridiculous cast… and maybe it is. But it’s MY ridiculous cast, and I love her. Please feel free to rip on all but the first song. Ripping on the first song, won’t get you anywhere. [...] |
