[Kepler]

If you had to name 5 artists that defined you, your tastes, and your personality, who would they be?

Ellington
Misfits
Sondheim
Verdi
Zappa

If you had to name 5 artists that defined you, your tastes, and your personality, who would they be?

If I answered this once per day for a week it would likely change, but off the top of my head (and I will second-guess myself in an hour) I think I'd go with:

-Pink Floyd
-The Replacements
-The Beatles
-The Cure
-Grateful Dead

Not sure that's the truest representation but I'll roll with it.

[St. Clown]

The Black Crowes
The Beatles
Led Zeppelin
(And long list of 90s Grunge rock acts that would all be vying for the next two spots.)

Moore has some solid solo work. I know nothing of his douchiness I admit.

I’m basing it on The Year Punk Broke and some interviews.

on the other hand I’ve met Steve Shelley the SY drummer and he was absolutely a sweetheart of a guy. Beyond nice.

His musical gifts are not at issue.

It's very simple: if you are a male celebrity, do not commit to a monogamous relationship. There it is, solved. There are millions of women who will provide you with extremely fulfilling erotic comic relief. Millions who will happily, knowingly, share you. Just don't dick over some good person who has the misfortune of wanting exclusivity with you. Don't lie to and then inevitably betray that woman. How hard is that?

Ok so apparently there's some cheating going on. By a musician. Not defending it but if we're going to hold every musician to that standard to the point of actively calling them out we're going to be here for awhile.

TIL that my other* favorite music couple, Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova, was just another tawdry adultery, as he was cheating on his wife of 17 years with her.

**** you, Ric. Though to be honest you don't hold a candle in talent, importance, or betrayal to the number one.*

*Thurstron Moore, obviously. DIAF, buddy.

Thurston Moore was such a pompous douche (well,…is) it was hard listening to him in The Year Punk Broke but cheating on Kim is unforgivable.

too bad for many reasons…selfishly I thought Their last album was a top 2-3 LP from SY and I was hoping for more.

[solovsfett]

New Megadeth LP is far better than I expected. A level of kick-*** that almost rivals Rust In Peace or Peace Sells.

and not to be outdone but here’s Metallica channeling NWOBH: https://youtu.be/_u-7rWKnVVo

Bye, boys.

[Verse 1]
Only death lasts forever
It whispers under the pine branch
Must draw everything into its darkness
Even the sun will burn out

[Pre-Chorus]
But don't worry, we are with you
One last time, so we sing

[Chorus]
Adieu, goodbye, see you again!
You have to go the last way alone
One last song, one last kiss
No miracle will happen
Adieu, goodbye, see you again!
I had a nice time with you

[Verse 2]
You quietly rise from life
The soul goes on a quiet journey
Flesh perishes, spirit will rise
The being will surrender to death (Yes)

[Pre-Chorus]
In the end, you are all alone
But we will be with you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Everyone dies alone (All alone)
But you will always be with us

[Chorus]

Why Dizzy Gillespie was not drafted:

I heard it was because he couldn't hit a hanging curve.

[Kepler]

Why Dizzy Gillespie was not drafted:

Gillespie did not serve in World War II. At his Selective Service interview, he told the local board, "in this stage of my life, here in the United States, whose foot has been in my a-ss? If you put me out there with a gun in my hand and tell me to shoot at the enemy, I'm liable to create a case of 'mistaken identity' of who I might shoot." He was classified 4-F.

[MissThundercat]

Taylor is going on tour for the first time in years.

Of course Ticket Bastard botched the release of tickets.
