RIP, Jay Reatard. I don’t want to turn this into the death tumblr, but this is a tragedy, he was far too young.
RIP, Vic Chesnutt. Sad, sad story.
How to write a headline
Best Buzzcocks-referencing headline of 2009.
Why everyone is wrong all the time
Lester Bangs: “That’s why I’d rather listen to Hank Williams or Beck, Bogert & Appice or Charlie Parker or the Royal Guardsmen. I have to say that the champions of the current New Wave ‘avant-garde’ are largely trendies, and I can guarantee you there will be no Throbbing Gristle repackages from Japan in the year 2000.”
Uh…yes? Written in 1982.
There is nothing in the world better than this.
Further: nostalgia time.
Unrest playing doing an acoustic performance of So Sick in 1993. Brilliant. (Someone upload Nation Writer which they mention at the end, please.)
Furthermore, I have this to say
Continuing on the subject of Songs, and specifically the one below, there’s this line: “I called you on the phone/but you’re not home.” This brings up a question. In fact, it brings up this question: How long can this lyrical trope keep existing in the cell phone-era? I mean, it’s 2009, and maybe she just wasn’t as crazy about you as you are about her, so she only gave you her land line (which few have! I did a survey consisting of me thinking about a couple friends of mine), which, I guess, could happen, but maybe you should just get the message that way. Kind of a red flag, I would think.
This does not detract from the quality of the song, however!
