    Probably the most annoying band in my history of loving music (well, there's always REM). Odd; Heads are extremely talented but they just annoy the shit out of me right down to the entrails.

    I do like Belew, of course. But he had the advantage of playing with Zappa and then diluting the annoyance factor in King Crimson.

    I stand corrected. That's the worst piece of horseshit I've never bothered to listen to for more than 23 seconds.

    I appreciate the bugger the system crap. You can't bugger the system with crap. They tried. They junked. They ultimately failed.

    Dylan in '66 proved to be more punk than the punks ever did. He maintained that attitude even when he didn't play the plastic placard designed to herd shoppers into the zone that lemmings go when they see the genre that they think makes them cool. Remember record stores?

    Stickpin, you drunk? The only time Dylan was Punk was when he went Born-again Christian and released Slow Train Coming. Punk works in mysterious ways. Heh.

  3. hoochmonkey9 Harmony Korine rubs me the wrong way.

    I think the Talking Heads are (is?) one of those bands that really divide people. '82-'85 were years that really formed a shift in my listening and bands like Talking Heads, the Smiths, Minutemen, Husker Du, the Replacements, etc. led the charge.

    And of course Dylan is punk in whatever he does.

    Guys like David Byrne and Paul Simon have always bugged me with their, "Last year I was a country singer! This year I'm African! Next year I'll be from New Orleans!" kind of musical costume-change shenanigans.

    I don't know if I'd lump them in with REM though, because Byrne and Simon are talented. REM are just an unfortunate shitstain on history.

    Mr. Dylan could eat all three of them for breakfast.

    Why isn't Aimee Mann a pop music superstar and modern music legend? That's the question of the day. In a true and just universe she would be more well known than J Lo, Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga combined.

    But if there's anything I've learned (and that's debatable) it's that a true and just universe is a fallacy and a utopian trick.

    Graceland is being re-released for its 25th anniversary or something. I saw an ad for it on TV the other day. It reminded me just how much I hate that album and Simon's 'Afro folk phase'. Art Garfunkel always had a better Afro anyway. I do like their stuff as a duo though, I must admit. I agree about REM as well. Shiny Happy People. Fuck right off.

    Johnny Thunders on a Stockholm TV show, 1982. It was a doomed tour from the start with police hassling them everywhere they went. I'd heard Johnny couldn't play at that time, and this is a pretty good demonstration of that. It's funny, in a punk rock meets heroin kind of way, but it's always a little sad to see him fuck things up.

    That's Luigi playing bass. He thought he was Johnny Thunders. Right after this tour he came to Minneapolis and played with Sonny and I in the Extreme for a few months.

    The real fun starts around the 8:00 mark.

    The late great Glen Buxton's birthday is today (June 17th) according to my web source. And because I love the never-ending election.

    Saw this band yesterday at Mtl Folk Fest, Plants and Animals.
    An excellent band was The Custom Outfit but I havn't found a decent video. They are at recording their first album.

    Mark Lanegan's latest album, 'Blues Funeral' is fairly incredible. And not at all depressing, honestly.
