When I worked downtown, I used to pass the same homeless woman on my walk to the office every day. I felt like I got to know her a little bit, and would give her some money every now and then. Once she got to know me a little, we would talk a bit and, it was the same tired story, she was an addict who had lost it all. I stopped giving her money and would just stop at the McDonalds that she sat not far from, and pick her up an Egg McMuffin and cup of coffee instead. Didn't piss her off at all. She understood and appreciated the effort. I am almost certain that, at this point, almost 20 years on

Friend of mine did an interview with him on the occasion of the re-release if The Bottle Rockets' first 2 albums and it's pretty cool. http://www.web2carz.com/people/who-you-should-know/2579/brian-henneman-on-blowing-up-with-the-bottle-rockets

I wouldn't know what to do with that.

Went to go listen to my band's station on Spotify, thinking that I could give you some firsthand feedback. But not enough people listen to my band to even make a station possible.

Saw them a couple of weeks before this aired. Pretty great performance of "Graveyard Shift."

Sadly, just 2-3 max these days. When I was younger, it was that many in a week!

I just missed her here in Chicago and I am jealous as hell right now. Have a great time and please report back.

Made me want to jump up out of bed and dance! http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/janelle-monae-dance-apocalyptic/n42352/

I liked it a bit better this time, but still not wowed. I'll give it another few listens before giving up on it, though.

He just posted on his (personal) Facebook page: "I got a cool email last night from Sonic Youth guitarist/co-founder Lee Ranaldo. He said he's loving his Earth Drive pedal and needs another... " too fucking cool.

Take it up with Tim.
