Green Naugahyde is actually pretty good, Trag.

[liebzz]

Funny, I have been meaning to try out some of the more recent Primus albums. I lost track as well as Anti-Pop.

It will never happen, but I pledge if I ever meet Neil Young I am going to coyly figure out how to naturally get him to say llama and then try not to laugh. Every time I hear “I wanna ride my llama, straight to Texarkana” I think I am going to hear straight to Alabama because it would rhyme on his pronunciation. C’mon Neil!

Sleater-Kinney is life.

That Third Eye Blind record with Semi Charmed Kind of Life on it is actually pretty good.

God of Wine, The Background, Losing A Whole Year....ALL BETTER THAN SBWM

So Mike Campbell’s new old band The Dirty Knobs released a single with an album coming. I like it but it does sounds like the Heartbreakers.

saw them live and if i closed my eyes i could swear tom petty was singing.

Mike Campbell has a very similar voice and it makes sense it has somewhat morphed considering they harmonized for 40 years.

Theyre great though.

I know this has been posted here before but every time I stumble upon this excerpt from a Spin article from 1994, it makes me laugh hard.

"Don't you see," Thayil says, "you're this incredibly talented guy. People like your music. You have a good band. You sell a lot of records. You don't need all this...stuff."

"What sign are you?" Corgan asks.

"What do you mean, what sign am I?" Thayil says. "What difference could that possibly make?"

"C'mon," wheedles Corgan, "when is your birthday?"

"All right, goddamn it: September 4th."

"Aha!" Corgan says. "A Virgo. You're argumentative."

"Damn right, I'm argumentative," Thayil says, and takes a long, angry pulll at his beer, "which you should know because I've been arguing with you for half an hour, not because of any sign."

"I'm a Pisces," Corgan replies. "We pick up on those things."

A minute later, Corgan, still probing, finally finds the key to Thayil's heart: "I hate how in magazine pictures, they always stick me somewhere in the back."

Thayil explodes: "What do you mean? You write all the songs, and you do all the interviews. You play the instruments on the album. You control the band to the extent that most people think of Smashing Pumpkins as the Billy Corgan Experience, and all you care about is some photograph?"

"But I hate it," Corgan says, "it means they don't think I'm the cute one."

"Ooh," Thayil says a little too loudly as Corgan walks away, "I'll bet he's going to call his therapist in Chicago, wake her up at four in the morning, and tell her about that big, mean bear who made fun of him."

The next day at the Big Day Out festival, Thayil is talking to Kim and Kelley Deal in the Breeders' dressing room when Corgan walks past wearing a long-sleeved Superman T-shirt like the one your four-year-old nephew probably owns.

"You hurt me deeply," Corgan says, touching the giant S on his chest and pouting. "You hurt me deeply in my heart." The Pumpkins go on to play the best set anybody has ever heard them play, their usual passiveness and precision overlaid with an unfamiliar scrim of anger that throws their music into brilliant relief.

Matt Cameron is a little astounded. "Kim should rent himself out as a tour shrink," he says.

[VinylGuy]

i remember that article from back in the day, it was glorious. Thayil´s at its finest.

WEIRD

[Wendy Carlos's Twin]

Yeah, people have been lamenting that David doesn't want to re-form Talking Heads and giving him a hard time about it. But apparently he just doesn't want to work with Tina because she's kooky, and he's basically said as much. Bitch can sure play the bass though!

[Ms Harmless]

she sounds like a very unpleasant person

I’ve listened to Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street a couple of times this week. These could be the best 2 albums I have ever listened to...and Let It Bleed isn’t so far behind.

[oasisfan35]

I don't put a whole lot of stock in the Grammy Awards but the run of Best Alternative Music Album wins for Elephant, Get Behind Me Satan and Icky Thump is pretty telling.

It really is amazing. They should make a movie.

Corgan is insane and an asshole, but I love him.
