Mitch Hedburg Quotes of the Day
Reminds me of Arctic Monkeys song “Brianstorm” except the other way around:
“I wish my name was Brian because maybe sometimes people would misspell my name and call me Brain. That’s like a free compliment and you don’t even gotta be smart to notice it.”
Just funny:
“I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.”
Quote of the Day
Mark Sultan:
“I really enjoy the first song [Icicles]. It’s a welcome six minutes for anyone who has ever tripped out or read a book or been hungry. But if you’re having problems with the first song, then I don’t want you listening to the rest of the album anyway.”
Good-Bad, Not Evil
Jared Swilley – 2003
“I think we’re good-bad, not evil. A lot of club owners say they don’t like us, but deep down, I think they do. We like to create an atmosphere of chaos at our shows. I really hate going to shows where people just stand around and don’t do anything — you could do that at home with a video. If you come to see the Black Lips, we’re really going to do everything we can to put on a show. And if we’re going to break stuff or go nuts, we’re all really careful not to damage the club’s equipment. We do get into some trouble, but it’s never too much trouble. I think a lot of the stories people are hearing about us are blown way out of proportion.”
Funny Quote
Someone deciding whether or not to go see Jay Reatard at Harper’s Ferry:
“The idea of paying 50 cents a minute for rock does not equal a real show experience to me. I think lap dances are cheaper, for fucks sake!”
J-Swill On Politics In Music
Jared Swilley in an interview with The Maneater:
I try to keep politics out of music. I don’t think musicians have any role being politicians or having too many political views. That always seems kind of silly. We’ll maybe mention stuff that’s going on around us, our kind of observations, but we definitely don’t try to have any political message except have a great time and do what you want to do.

Quote of the Day
“A drug person can learn to cope with things like seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to handle this trip,” Raoul Duke/Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas

Quote of the Day
” I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today — my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
This was and still is the harsh truth. At this site, there are other thought provoking quotes from King, mostly in his final years, when he turned radical; unfortunately( but purposely) much of this of this wisdom is anonymous in the mainstream media. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/martin_luther_king_jr.html
