Weirdos | Pitchfork http://ow.ly/1KxlRZ "Part of what makes Newman such a breathtaking writer is the same thing that makes a breathtaking boxer or a breathtaking military offensive: He draws out your armor and defenses with his irony, then levels a suckerpunch to the place you're least capable of defending with the weapon you're least expecting: sentimentality."

July 8, 201214 yr Author comment_524687 A Month (of Shows) on the Town by Robert Christgau "Usually I have a good time, and every once in a while I luck into an epiphany. I'm a record guy, always will be. But records can't match the exhilaration of the best gigs. You walk home prepared to live forever." "Jazz locates inspiration in the mortal musician, gospel in the celestial divine—while blues fans, not unlike indie fans, romanticize the grotty, beer-soaked venue itself. Where blues fans differ from indie fans—and always have, even down at the crossroads—is that they regard musicians as means to a party, and the party as the goal." http://www.villagevoice.com/2006-07-18/music/a-month-on-the-town/ Edited July 8, 201214 yr by blessingx Report
