Song of the day – 430: Iris DeMent

Her first two albums are special for me, and me alone.

Song of the day – 429: Guided By Voices

Funny how the remnants of those who fought in the indie trenches during the 90s hold up GbV as a classic band, above many.

REVIEWED IN WORDS: Smashing Pumpkins – Siamese Dream (deluxe edition)

After tonight, I swear I’m never gonna laugh at a Christian rock band again.

Smashing Pumpkins | There are lines in the sand … and then there are lines in the sand

I despise pomposity above almost everything, even when it’s hilarious. The Smashing Pumpkins aren’t hilarious.

Riot Grrrl is a myriad of contradictions. And that’s to the good.

Excerpt from a letter to Melody Maker, 16 January 1993

HA HA HA HA HA! FUCK YOU!

Years later we were still talking about that night.

How The Residents ruined my life (Song of the day 395)

The band’s name? Blowjob. My cool, cruel friends had told me it was because I blew down the recorder. Bastards.
