Got a lyric today in my head about a bad penny, then I just went straight to Big Black. I think I’m in love with Steve Albini.

I think jazz is the most narcissistic style of music.

That being said, I’m indulging myself today.

I’m gonna be honest: I have no idea what “Call Me Maybe” sounds like.

And yes, I’m really happy about that. It’s kind of like this time last year when I still had not heard “Superbass”. Unfortunately, that could only go on for so long.

"The fact that someone would find music interesting purely by virtue of the fact that I am listening to it is foreign to me. What I listen to does not seem notable; why I listen to it might be. I need context."

Mark Richardson

Really well-thought out interesting take on sharing and writing about music.

Dear Friends, 

Levon is in the final stages of his battle with cancer. Please send your prayers and love to him as he makes his way through this part of his journey. 

Thank you fans and music lovers who have made his life so filled with joy and celebration… he has loved nothing more than to play, to fill the room up with music, lay down the back beat, and make the people dance! He did it every time he took the stage…

We appreciate all the love and support and concern. 

From his daughter Amy, and wife Sandy

Thank you and goodnight, Levon Helm. You’ve been such an inspiration and you’ve blessed this world with some great music over the years.
