Quote of the Day (1/21/09)

So you basically cover a ton of songs without knowing how to play any sort of music. You have a condition known as tone deafness. Tone deafness is a big challenge to overcome, but it can be done. The first step is realizing that you are IN FACT tone deaf. This means you cannot correctly discern intervals (or the distance between) musical notes, therefore cannot tell if you are singing the correct note or note. Hence you cannot tune your guitar by ear or sing correctly. - Shanghaitunnels

He's referring to The PFYFH.

Quote of the Day (1/16/08)

I was on my way to the Bank (D Block) and I saw Jesse Dacri in the hall. I know he is a huge videogamer so I asked him if he has played Playstation Home for PS3.

"Yeah, I have it. It's so stupid. It's funny when you see virtual girls walking around. All the guys go up to her and say, "Nice tits! Nice tits!" But then the "girl" reveals that she really is a guy."

Good times.

He or she who supports a State organized in the military way – whether directly or indirectly – participates in the sin. Each man old or young takes part in the sin by contributing to the maintenance of the State by paying taxes. - Mahatma Gandhi	”

Quote of the Day (1/2/08)

"You don't realize what you could be getting yourselves into, with Fall Out Boy, and what kind of impact it could have in a way that you don't really want. ... Culturally, if it gets as big as it is in America, it could change an entire generation of people growing up here. Emo, pop-punk, whatever you want to call it, is dangerous. We don't wanna dislike anyone, and we've still never met Fall Out Boy, but there's a creature inside me that wants to beat all those bands to death. They just all go into the happy emo funnel and everyone loves 'em without thinking. 'Oh, Fall Out Boy likes you? Fuck! I'm gonna go buy your CD!'" - Brandon Flowers of The Killers via NME

I'm not too keen on The Killers, but Flowers brings up a great point.

Quote of the Day (12/30/08)

Alex Denney from The Quietus on the song "Brothersport," which is the last track on Animal Collective's amazing album Merriweather Post Pavillion.

The one that got Grizzly Bear into lumber when they linked to the track on their blog as their favourite AC song since ‘Leaf House’. They’re not far wrong either, stuttering tribal chants giving way to a techno interlude before the band busts out one of its most instantly memorable vocal melodies to date. Expansive and utterly euphoric, it sounds like Ministry Of Sound doing Graceland. But with more of a tropicalia vibe. And sirens. Fuck me, this is brilliant.

And by instantly memorable vocal melodies, he is talking about:

Dear fully grown
you got a real good shot
do well to all the time
keep it real keep it real shut it out
