Glyph
Glyph is worse than some and better than others. He believes that life is just one damned thing after another, that only pop music can save us now, and that mercy is the mark of a great man (but he's just all right). Nothing he writes here should be taken as an indication that he knows anything about anything.
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to upgrade our service plan. Hopefully this will help us address some of our performance issues.

I have the best of John Doe on right now, a true master, one of the greats:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPSXr-p7T9oReport
Do you think “John Doe” ever had trouble cashing checks at the bank or reserving hotel rooms?Report
HA! Having BSed with him a few times over the years, he is just one of the nicest people I have ever met at a venue (mostly tiny places.) I am sure he talked his way through it.Report
He does seem like a cool dude.
I’m skipping straight to “See How We Are” (though I’ll miss Exene’s harmonies). Long ago, I introduced that song to an older, folk/hippieish person I know, and they loved it; such a powerful protest song/lament.Report
Yeah Doe is great. His songs are consistently powerful. He manages to channel a lot of influences without ever sounding derivative or corny.Report
I roomed with X’s tour manager for a month. Just one of his many quirks was repeatedly telling me “I always told John Doe to change his name. I’d say, ‘You know, you’re such a down-to-earth guy, you should call yourself Joe. Like, “regular Joe,” right? “Joe Doe.” So much better that way.'”
Another quirk was nude calisthenics at daybreak, but I don’t remember much about that.Report
“You want to do a guest post on KWC? Definitely include the bears (for lunch).”
Also, I am ready to do this, if you’re still up to it.Report
Sweet! I’ll shoot you a mail at the address you use here.Report
I’ve been listening to a lot of stuff, lately, but this is stuck in my head right now:

Looks like we have an LA (or SoCal, at least, with those palms) theme going.
I’ve heard this track, but I can’t decide if it’s catchy or annoying.Report
Whatever it is, it is thoroughly embedded in my head right now.
To take us across the country, here’s who I’m listening to while I work:

Electronic music is best for working. Beats to keep your body moving, no words to distract the mind.Report
Exactly.Report
There is this.

Joe Jackson has a new out, and it’s good to hear from him.
