MUSIC BLOGGING:
*Morrissey's new single, "Irish Blood, English Heart," is easily his best since "Everyday is Like Sunday" (which is to say, it's the only other decent thing he's done in his solo career) and is well worth listening to a dozen times in a row.
*I finally got around to listening to Can this week (odd, since two of my all-time favorite bands (The Verve and Spiritualized) were massively influenced by them). "Halleluwah" from Tago Mago is insanely brilliant--I'm always impressed when a 18.5 minute song absolutely demands that I listen to it over and over again. Not for the easily scared (do your prep work on Bitches Brew or perhaps A Storm in Heaven before venturing here).
*Motown song of the week: "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart" -The Supremes. I swear, Holland/Dozier/Holland can make even the corniest ideas so best ever.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
