52 is far too young. "All my favorite singers couldn't sing." RIPby HollowbodyKay
One of my late brother's favorite games was to amuse himself by swapping words in song titles. When he was a short-order cook, he was especially fond of swapping 'love' for 'lunch.' In observance of the fact that his butt is no longer with us, I've opted to play a round in his memory. But I'm playing by stricter rules: The song *must* include the words &by HollowbodyKay
QuoteTerribly sad about this. Such a great drummer, and way too young. 55 seems practically adolescent. For comparison's sake, Mick Jagger hit 55 back in July of 1998. That was over 20 years ago. Post Edited (03-05-19 21:15)by HollowbodyKay
When I was a young child, finding out that the Monkees didn't play their own instruments might've been an even more upsetting experience than finding out that there was no Santa Clause.by HollowbodyKay

QuoteA whole decade has passed, can you believe it? Life is now the downtime between the death of cherished musicians and the anniversaries of their passing.by HollowbodyKay
"It's a mixed up world ... these are mixed up times ... and the recipe of life is mixed up too. But if it's the quality of ingredients that matter, I would award myself a cordon bleu. But I can't help thinking that you wouldn't understand unless I did a lot of explaining to you." ~ Buzzcocks ("Friends") RIP.by HollowbodyKay
There was a (very cursory) discussion about classic rock at work this past week. The woman over the cubicle wall was playing (streaming?) classic rock on her cell phone. I asserted that classic rock radio's refusal to play anything from the several decades that have elapsed since the airlock on the Classic Rock Tomb was sealed does nothing whatsoever to dissipate the charnel house atmoby HollowbodyKay
QuoteWow. That's awful. Babymetal? Sounds like it was dreamt up by a focus group of out-of-touch fuddy-duddies whose only permitted musical reference point was a room full of preteen girls playing Guitar Hero. Where's Manowar when you need 'em?by HollowbodyKay
QuoteIs it true that A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS created shoegaze music? The Cocteau Twins created it. . . . Just look at their shoes.by HollowbodyKay
Quote Sigue sigue Sputnik is World Series rock?? It is when the lyrics go like: "There goes my love rocket red" and the Red Sox are playing? Quick: Name three of the advertisers who bought space between the songs on "Flaunt It." And no cheating! . . . Pretty sure L'Oreal was one of them.by HollowbodyKay
QuoteCan't believe it took four days for any of us to post a requiem acknowledgement. She had already been beatified and attained immortality during her lifetime as far as I'm concerned. Dying was merely an obligatory final bow for her.by HollowbodyKay
QuoteAllow yourself to join me in losing some hipster credibility. We all know who the 200 or so 'godfathers of punk / new wave' are supposed to be. i.e. The velvet underground, can, stooges, kraftwerk, etc etc ...I know you know what I mean. Are there any of them that you've tried to get with, but JUST CAN'T figure it out? For me, a big one is captain beefheart. Captainby HollowbodyKay

QuoteThey're one of those bands I've refused to listen to because their name is so gawdawful. I think I'll continue that practice. I've never heard another living soul mention them by name. Not even to say that they totally sucked or anything.by HollowbodyKay
Former frontman of Jonathan Fire*Eater. It says here that he passed away at 43. They certainly had their moments.by HollowbodyKay
Quote One big box music store is a million in debt ... and rock is dead? Maybe we should be mourning the death of quality retail management? . . . And if jazz (a musical form that's light years more demanding on a technical level than rock ever was) is still being played, then we ought not to worry too much about rock going away. Anyway ... it's only rock 'n roll.by HollowbodyKay
Quoteit's meant to describe the mood that the music evokes The feel. Not the sound? Nothing better than trying to shoehorn a subjective square peg into an objective round hole. . . . So Erik Satie is (by definition) dream pop, yes?by HollowbodyKay
QuoteSundown is just the best. It's the only LP that I have two copies of. RIPby HollowbodyKay
QuoteYou might hate the genre description, but . . . I recently bought Grouper's Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill after reading a review that lumped that hazy, largely acoustic album in with "Heaven Or Las Vegas, "She Hangs Brightly," and "Suburban Light." It's a meaningless, phony-baloney non-genre if it can accommodate such obviously disparate fare.by HollowbodyKay
Here's what I woke up distinctly remembering this morning from last night's dreaming: . . . . . I'm walking around in an unknown, dimly lit location (maybe a flea market or some kind of bazaar) that has Christmas music playing ... It's the sort of Christmas music that features a huge ensemble choir singing. One song ends and the next tune starts ... it's Neil Young (by HollowbodyKay
