You think to be a good person means merely causing no one harm / but since we’re all responsible for ourselves, it’s impossible to fail.
Cruelty, Unwoman
Interesting sentiment.

Then dive down there with the lights to lead
That seem to shine from everything
Down to the bottom of the deep blue sea
Down where your heart beats so slow
And you never in your life have felt so free
Will you come down there with me
Down were our bodies start to seem
Like artefacts of some strange dream
Which afterwards you can’t decipher
And so, soon, have forgotten everything.
That seem to shine from everything
Down to the bottom of the deep blue sea
Down where your heart beats so slow
And you never in your life have felt so free
Will you come down there with me
Down were our bodies start to seem
Like artefacts of some strange dream
Which afterwards you can’t decipher
And so, soon, have forgotten everything.
Joanna Newson, Colleen
I was pointed to a page of Newson’s lyrics by Neven Mrgan’s post. I don’t listen to her music much—it’s not really my style—and so had no idea how amazing her lyrics are.

The Ramones, in summary.
Things The Ramones wanted to do: Be your boyfriend, sniff some glue, dance, be a good boy, Carbona, be well, have something to do, be sedated, live.
Things The Ramones did NOT want to do: Walk around with you, be learned, be tamed, be a pinhead no more, be buried in a pet semetary, fight tonight (on Christmas), grow up.
Things The Ramones could not, would not, or did not do: Be, care, give you anything, make it on time, let it happen, seem to make you theirs, control themselves.
Things The Ramones did do: Make a living by peelin’ a banana, go out west where they belong, remember you, go mental, be affected, sit in their room (humming a sickening tune), think of you (everytime they ate vegetables), believe in miracles, love you.
Things The Ramones told you to do: Shut it up, Beat on a brat with a baseball bat, ring up the FBI to find out if their baby’s alive, give them shock treatment.
Things The Ramones warned you about doing: Shutting it up, killing that girl, talking to commies, opening that door.

In 1992, Brancowitz was part of a short lived Beach Boys-inspired guitar group called Darlin’. The band consisted of his friends Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and himself. After releasing their songs on Duophonic, a review in the British music magazine Melody Maker called the music “a bunch of daft punk.” Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo decided to create Daft Punk in 1993 as Brancowitz joined forces with Phoenix.

Anybody got any tracks from this band?

Admittedly, I opened a bunch of tabs first, but when I finally checked Justin Timberlake’s website, the first thing I saw was another performer, which immediately struck me as really, really cool: world-famous guy is so confident that he (or his marketing team) is comfortable putting another performer in the main banner on his site. Sweet.

- Anatomy of a Hipster #144., by indierawk
Wait, what? Don’t they mean “Coachella,” not “Lollapalooza?”
(I dislike and try to ignore hipster-bashing-by-hipsters, normally, but this was too confusing to ignore.)

I think that, in general, everybody is eccentric. Aside from a small minority of people that are as one-dimensional as they appear, I think most people have a secret life. Most people are extremely interesting. Anybody that you see just walking down the street is probably a very interesting person. I don’t think that artists are necessarily more interesting than non-artists. Someone like Salvador Dali, who was just performing all the time, I mean, his whole life was a performance. He probably seemed more interesting than other people. If you’re not envisioning the world looking in it at you, you’re not documenting all the things in your head.
You might be extremely eccentric, and you’d have no idea. In our band, everybody thinks that every other member of the band is totally crazy, that they are the only sane one. It’s probably like that with all groups of friends. It’s some weird aspect of the human condition that we think everyone else is crazy, except for ourselves.

Google reminded me how cool Jackson used to be (and why I, uh, used to kiss my Thriller poster every night). 1982: best year for him. After that it was the downhill road to scary and pale, but in 1982, he not only got away with sequins but totally rocked them.](http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1087/1214680314_5680fd74f9.jpg)
