"I think we used technology much less than people imagine. Like I said, I was just fascinated by the sounds of things taken from the living world and made immortal, but kind of damaged or mummified in the process."

“Not Doing Things Is Soul Destroying” – Kevin Shields Of MBV Interviewed (2012):

"Not Doing Things Is Soul Destroying" - Kevin Shields Of MBV Interviewed | The Quietus

It’s hard to describe what it sounded like back then, you know. They were different times. It’s not that there’s no innovation now – of course there is, though it mostly comes from elsewhere – but for a short time in the late 1980s it seemed that every year a handful of rock records could […]

IMO nothing tops this site dedicated to the Fender Vibratone amp (which contained a rotating speaker, like a Leslie cabinet). It includes a thorough history of the Leslie and an incredibly detailed list of songs that used guitar run through a Vibratone or Leslie: www.nmia.com/~vrbass/vibr...

I did a softcover print run of my book of Lego robots, 'Planet Robotica'. They turned out really nicely! If you'd like a copy, they're $26 each plus shipping, just let me know.

Here's a PDF version if you'd like to stay minimalist:

A white softcover book called 'Planet Robotica' with a jaunty elderly robot (made of Lego) on its cover. The physical Lego build of his elderly robot nemesis stands on the cover, looking disapproving, sipping his morning hot motoroil.

Uh, you guys ... the new Jeff Tweedy might be 30 songs, but don't let that dissuade you. It's one of the best things he's ever made.

“It can be a little scary,” Hotline TNT frontman Will Anderson says of taking his music off Spotify, “but one of the things we’re trying to do is illustrate that it might not be as scary as you think.”

Great response to people who don’t read fiction

(from The Assistant by Bernard Malamud)

He asked her what book she was reading.
"The Idiot. Do you know it?"
"No. What's it about?"
"It's a novel."
"I'd rather read the truth," he said.
"It is the truth."
