It Doesn't "Can" Be Good, It Just Will

Yes, we all know that music criticism is dead. Thing is, it’s not. They’re called growing pains. Or a sudden awareness of it’s somnambulism.

Watch Mr. David Milch expound on the role of the storyteller and tell me it doesn’t apply to the critic or the poet equally.

ASSHOLE APPROPRIATOR MOTHERFUCKER

This guy really, really, really hates Francis Bacon. No love for graphically-appealing noir, no melodrama?

Kid Dynamite Tribute Comp

This is a for-all-time always-in-the-back-brain band for me; I remember sitting in (any given) class, headphones on and head in hands, seething. A THIRTY-NINE track compilation, Carry the Torch: A Tribute to Kid Dynamite, comes out in July, and I can’t wait. Pre-orders here.

We Need $

5%? There’s a lot of money in there I know, but bump that up to 8% and we’ve got a deal.

Painful

“Interviewer”: There were a lot of rumors about you getting tasered by the police after wearing Jordans to a Reebok party.

Teh Cood: “It was never about Reebok, the brand or anything like that. Nike don’t always make the dopest shoes, no brand makes dope shit all the time. I was opposed to the shoes they tried to give me—I didn’t like them. I didn’t get into because it was Reebok people, I got into it with one individual who approached me the wrong way. I’m a man at the end of the day. I’m not a fighter, I don’t like violence—hell, I don’t even know if I know how to fight. I’m not a strategic fighter, that’s not my steez.”

Plumbing

Two different Jimi stories today, regarding new recorded material and an upcoming DVD of ‘behind-the-scenes’ footage. Nirvana getting reissued. EVERYTHING is getting reissued (Astral Weeks). They’re suffocating from lack of profit.
