Go Canadian and move to Toronto! It's safe,it's kinda clean, people live downtown, it's walkable and bike-able and hugely multicultural. The music scene is great. The film, art, theatre, & everything else scenes are also booming. And our economy hasn't gone in the toilet yet. It's expensive by Cana...

At least I can shoot guns and have fun with other rednecks. yeah, emeryville is probably not the place where people go for redneck identity. I think I'm stuck in the toilet that is the East Bay for the next 6 months till my lease runs out. It isn't all that bad, though, if you like strip malls, and...

James Taylor's Drum Machine

I'm losing my tolerance for volume and my listening stamina, so I don't listen to much industrial anymore.... and other forms of angsty/alienated-sounding stuff, some of which is my favorite. Unlike the curmudgeon-types, I still like it, I just can't bear it like I used to. Same for whiskey. . I see...

Do bands still have managers?
If so, what do they do? Does a band's manager have anything to do with their success / acceptance by the masses? Obviously there's more going on than making good recordings, because bad recordings are unavoidable, and we can all name a few that blow us away that no one but another tape-opper has eve...

lol. great paradox. on the one hand, the public figure needs a thick skin. on the other hand, the desire to become a public figure is usually based on wanting to be influential/loved (meaning no thick skin). i'd just consider 'knights' a heckler in this case. devo pushed boundaries and expressly swo...

I'd basically like to know two things (I can think of): - What about his background, art school, Akron, etc., is present but not evident in Devo? (context: frat boys or derelicts who wanna 'rawk' don't usually write ostensibly willfully existential lyrics. I hate using the term , but I choose it bec...

I like the idea of being 'cleared by nostalgia' though... perhaps my early-life love for Utopia in all forms and thus current selective affection for them (they could do no wrong in my eyes when I was young) can be forgiven by this clause? :) Martin Gore seems to have always had a streak of knowing...
