  1. Thanks for posting this, Gavin.

     

    Let us know when your staffing situation gets worked out. I was planning on heading down there tomorrow night, and would have been disappointed to find your doors closed.

  2. Maybe Miles was a bitter, arrogant, contemptuous guy in person, but that doesn't affect my appreciation for his music. I wonder how many great musicians were really likeable people?

     

    I don't even think that Miles fully realized what he was doing for jazz music, but just as with the likeability question, who cares what his intent was?

     

    One of the things I really like about those 3 albums, and some other stuff he did around that same time, like Live-Evil, is that they really have a spacy, impersonal quality to them, like it's just instruments talking, not musicians.

  3. Well, I am curmudgeonly, but your impassioned defense of Fugazi's later work makes me think I should try listening to some of that stuff again. It's been awhile since I put on anything except their 1st ep.

     

    I remember I was pretty disappointed when Steady Diet of Nothing came out, though. Except for "Long Division", I thought their sound had changed a lot...it was more "experimental" or something.

  4. Transparent William Carlos Williams imitation.

     

    It was actually a social commentary on WCW and his work. Reread it.

     

    I have deleted the PMs that were in the inbox

    And which you were probably saving for later

    Forgive me

    They were poetic

    So full of bad spelling and grammar

  5. The Clash.

     

    None of those boy bands that you guys mentioned would have the talent to write these lines from Know your rights...

     

    You have the right not to be killed. Murder is a crime unless it was done by a policeman or an aristocrat.

     

    You have the right to free speech. As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it.

     

    Finally! I was just waiting for someone else to give the obvious answer, so I could second it.

     

    When they kick at your front door, how you gonna come?

    With your hands on your head, or on the trigger of your gun?

     

    He's got a Ford Cortina, that just won't run without fuel...

    Fill 'er up, Jacko!

     

    etc.
