You get a star for “alphabetize by decade.”  And for having a vinyl collection.

a new strain of thought has emerged

Editing is Thanos. It can do anything. Disappear people, rearrange reality.

THE AV CLUB

Virtuous Star Destroyers is the name of my Star Wars-themed emo band.

Concentrate all firepower.

I’ve listened, just. . .not, like for the singing.

btw, Mascis cut one record with a project called Heavy Blanket where he did instrumental stoner rock.  So if you want his guitar without his voice, there’s some out there.

Sad.  I had high hopes for that joke.

Of all the shows I’ve been to (a lot), only P-Funk and Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters had equally mixed black/white audiences.

I don’t know how you feel about Ryan Adams, but he loves the hell out of Johnny Marr and thinks he’s a brilliant and inventive guitarist.  You’ve got at least one big deal musician in your corner.

I’ll be in my bunk.

I’m a huge music fan but not a musician, so it’s always interesting to me to hear what actual musicians think about music, especially what makes it good and bad. I’ve recently become friends with a drummer, and among other things, he’s said that he doesn’t hate any music, he just feels embarrassed for the musicians…

Really enjoyed this column, sorry that it’s over.  Thanks Paul!

I thought it was a flaming pie.  

I saw Los Lobos play at Artscape, a free outdoor festival in Baltimore, in 2002. Someone at work had played Colossal Head a lot, and I had gotten hooked on Mas y Mas’s awesome groove, and was hoping to hear it. They announced they had one more and said “this one goes out to the Ohio Players,” who were also there.…

I may have it finally figured out when I’m 64.

I knew someone’d come through :)

You too! Name of the Rose came out of my boxes a couple years ago, I also really liked it.
