Liz Phair on Why Lana Del Rey Scares Rock’s Boys...
bmichael:
Take that, nerds:
You see, Lana Del Rey is exactly what I was hoping to inspire when I took on the male rock establishment almost twenty years ago with my debut record, “Exile In Guyville.”
Let me break it down for you: she’s writing herself into existence. She’s giving herself a part to play because, God knows, no one else will and she wants to matter in this life. As far as I...

Yo, why every mixtape gotta have an intro?
yoisthisracist:
Yo, that’s how all good music should start: you say hello, you tell everyone your name, and then list everyone you like and dislike, and whether or not they sell cocaine.

A Fantasy Life →
scz:
“We’ve had a fantasy life,” says Larry Hale. He worked in the old Greenville, driving a truck and hauling stuff made in Greenville all over the continent. “We’ve done things that a lot of people dream of doing … Like when I went to Canada and started dating this hairstylist… We lived our lives to the fullest.”

Bryan Ferry elbowed me in the groin
rockandrolltedium:
We went to see The Arcade Fire at the Astoria where we had seats up in the Gods. So did Bryan, who arrived late and bent down to edge past us, so as not to obscure the view.

Author was doing a reading in a book store somewhere awfully fashionable in London; one of the pieces he was reading was supposed to be read by a woman. Eno, for larks, turned up with a canister of helium for the author to huff from during the reading, for its vocal modification properties.

ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL
bluefugate:
A fun game to play with yourself is Literalizing Terms of Endearment. Sit back, close your eyes, and raise your interior voice a few octaves…

Cool, right?

life is short. sometimes things you think are gonna last forever don’t, and some things you aren’t sure about end up lasting. what have we discovered? that things are not always hard, and remembering what we really wanted and who we really are means very simple things. for me, it is that i love music to no end, and i love to hear carl play the guitar more than just about anything else...
