Choire: What is your favorite Alex Chilton video, song or tale?
Paul: My favorite tale is from Our Band Could Be Your Life, when he shut down Gibby Haynes’s rampage through the Netherlands:
Moments later a man entered the dressing room and asked if he could borrow a guitar. “BORROW A GUITAR??!!!...

I hate this overwrought article from the Guardian and don’t want to see the doc it’s promoting. Yes the D has epic problems, but treating it like a symbol instead of a real place where real people live doesn’t help.

If somebody in my favorite band called me an idiot I’d be pretty broken up. Fluxblog takes it in stride. perpetua:

wondertonic:
Excerpt:
“The relentless dialogue of musical exploration begins with the bold spoken-word statement of ‘Let’s Get Ready To Rumble,’ a brash invitation to sheer musical chaos.
