Every band should have a horn section. I don’t care how much it costs. Medicare for all, and horn sections for all.
Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To
Every band should have a horn section. I don’t care how much it costs. Medicare for all, and horn sections for all.
Some folks play country music, and other folks play city music.
I’ve had it, Enthusiasts. I’m calling motherfuckers out. I am calling motherfuckers out like a something with a something calls out another something.
Great metaphor.
It was a simile.
It wasn’t that, either.
If you replace the “somethings” with the right words, then that’s a really funny joke.
That’s your job.
Shut up and let me complain about Pitchfork.
Oh, I didn’t know this was about Pitchfork. I’ll be quiet.
Thank you. CALLING YOU OUT, PITCHFORK. This is the second time in two weeks you’ve done the same bullshit, and I simply won’t tolerate it. Yet again, you’ve published an article which does not suck, and that’s not what you do, Pitchfork: you’re terrible.
But this is not. A well-written (and properly lengthed) piece about the Talking Heads, and their twitchy and fragile route to the Remain in Light album. One of Twitter’s leading Rock Nerds and FoTotD, Tyler Wilcox, wrote it and there’s a half-dozen obscure videos from the Heads embedded in the article. Go read it.
Enthusiasts, I must admit a failing, a deep and off-putting one: TotD is an irredeemable snob. When the sad news about Bernie Worrell came across the wire this afternoon, I immediately dove into the weird murk of YouTube, hoping to find an obscure gem from the Wizard of Woo. Surely, I assumed, everyone has seen Stop Making Sense. It is, after all, the greatest concert film ever made, and perhaps the only one that rises to the level of art
But someone hasn’t. And instead of being a sarcastic turd and a Rock Nerd, I should instead reach out to these poor, benighted souls.
Watch this. And then watch the rest of the movie; it’s all on YouTube, just cut up into chunks. Trust me: there’s nothing better you could do with 90 minutes.

People not treating you like you should? Imagine how Bernie Worrell feels.
You got problems? You ain’t got ’em like Bernie.
Maybe we should try to think of other today, and not ourselves. Or our wallets, or ego.
Talking to yourself again, slugger?
Shut up and listen to Bernie.
You gonna post some P-Funk?
Who you think you’re talking to?
Good.
This has nothing–nothing in the slightest–to do with the Grateful Dead…

…but it’s so goddamned beautiful.
