By the end of this week I will have dumped my entire vinyl collection.
Bye-bye turntable and speakers and apple crates that held the albums
and all things 1979

A big step for me - Wish me kuck...

The mockingbird had been following the cat
all summer
mocking mocking mocking
teasing and cocksure;
the cat crawled under rockers on porches
tail flashing
and said something angry to the mockingbird
which I didn't understand.

Yesterday the cat walked calmly up the driveway
with the mochingbird alive in its mouth,
wings fanned, beautiful wings fanned and flopping,
feathers parted like a woman's legs,
and the bird was no longer mocking,
it was asking, it was praying
but the cat
striding down through centuries
would not listen.
I saw it crawl under a yellow car
with the bird
to bargain it to another place.

summer was over.

C.B.

Favorite song about a cat:

Favorite song about a dog (actually my favorite dog song is John Hiatt's "My Dog and Me" but in the Quisp-induced sugary hazy days of youth I adored the TV show Lassie so for nostalgic reasons I went with this one):

I still have the original Sub Pop release of Bleach. Played it at a party and everyone hated it. Those same people were big fans two years later thanks to MTV.

oh man i LOVE first aid kit!! but my new favourite band is:


honestly, i like maybe a handful of actual bands/artists (i usually like individual songs, on rare occasions a whole album) and this is one that i discovered on npr.

whoops, the first aid kit thing is a reference to a post by mjp several pages back - i didn't realise i wasn't on the current page!

I've seen a few pictures of Johnny playing that Rickenbacker and always wondered why? Hearing it here (on the first song) makes me wonder even more, why? Tinny piece of crap. Not an ideal instrument for the Ramones particular brand of pop.

Classic Ramones though, four songs in under seven minutes. And dare I say, they had more swing with Tommy drumming. Later incarnations were more bashy and plodding. In this video Tommy makes it look easy. Marky always looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

What monkeys? I was captivated by the dynamic singer's easy, casual look.

The 60's were weird.

Well, the Dutch can't rock (though that's not your fault), but you certainly are a stylish and relaxed bunch, so you've got that going for you.

The sixties, inevitable for some! :)
But, weird! I suppose so, if it is in relation with anything else.
I was watching a doc, that has to do with the coming futur, accelerating its pace every second, until it is in our 'face, yesterday', and wondered what will inspire the future poets... and if the present ones do not have a tendency to look at the past.

There will be poets in the future? I'm pleasantly surprised! I imagined the future to be populated by a race of humans with 90 degree angle necks that pointed their faces permanently down to their god damn smart phones.
