Who are you favorite bands?
I mean besides the Fall, the Stooges, various garage bands, the Velvets, etc.
What would surprise me about your taste?
Todd Rundgren, Caravan, Gentle Giant, Roxette...
Thanks, Matt! Great thread idea....
John, I would loooove to get you shitfaced drunk at a jollyup. We'd be sitting there at the bar holding up the counter--both of us at the point where no bullshit or irony would permeate the conversation. ..
Picture it: A lot of loud noise, the jukebox is playing. One rock standard after another blasts through the place. You know, the usual suspects... some Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, AC/DC but also some James Brown, Marvin Gaye and whatnot.
As each one played I'd ask you "So, you don't really hate that one, do you? C'mon...you must like this one."
I can't believe you'd just sit there and say "Yes, they're pretty much all shit."
But then, knowing you...
