Hurray For The Goddamned Idiot!

The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.

what's with the big eyes?

if anyone is still hung up by the “big eye” manga thing, this is the deal: vs western cartoonists, japanese cartoonists rely more on the eyes to convey expression. that’s it; that’s all.

Tell Me About It

The part of my brain that works best is the division that governs the replay of stupid things I’ve said and done.

Looooou-ise!!!

Occasionally my mind drifts to a place where I find myself wondering who I would most like to have the chance to see play live, if time’s arrow was no barrier that is. I don’t draw conclusions, just enjoy musing over the possibilities. A prime candidate would surely be Howlin’ Wolf. Here he is from 1964 with a corker, Killing Floor. With a band featuring Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon and Buddy Guy, the Wolf takes blues music to the next level, a black monolith moment.

Seconded, Mr. Wah.  Tho I will always maintain the superiority of th band Wolf had in Memphis in ’51 over any subsequent group, and if I could hear any band play live, laws of time & space notwithstanding, it would be that one, no fucking contest.

“Black monolith moment.” I like that.

Head over to Diddy Wah’s place an’ hear this record and plenty more.
