- TunesDay: The divine stupidity of Dick Valentine
  Posted by udamnskippy from Scholarsandrogues
  What makes Electric Six work so wonderfully is that the stupidity belies a real cleverness, both in lyrics and music. They write great tunes and they perform them really well. They know their way around the rock canon. And their deadpan style helps, too. So today TunesDay honors the fine art of brain-pickled fun by naming E6 our Band of the Week.

- Oscar: the best moment of the night
  Posted by udamnskippy from Scholarsandrogues
  Once was never going to win best film, but the win for best song seemed like the most genuine moment of the night. I like to think that a lot of the people in that crowd realized what I did - that as big and bold and lavish and exciting as their industry is, it’s mostly lost touch with the most important quality of all, honesty.

- Music Review: Shahram & Hafez Nazeri The Passion Of Rumi
  Posted by Jeff from Blog Critics
  What's amazing is that there has actually been any sort of connection established that establishes even the tiniest beachhead of understanding amidst all this mutual recrimination. In the last few years there has been a growing fascination among people in the West for the poetry of the Persian Sufi mystic Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Balkhi Rumi, most commonly referred simply as Rumi.

- Britney Spears Obit, Already in Progress
  Posted by Jeff from Seattlest

Yes, it seems the AP has concluded that Ms. Spears' mortality is sufficiently imminent they need to prepare for the story. Of course, drafting an obit in advance is an industry-wide practice, but for a 26-year-old?

- The Resurrection of Psychedelic Pioneer Roky Erickson
  Posted by Damianmann
  "I first heard Roky and the Elevators in Houston. I said, 'Well, that's it.' It had a fierce background in R&B and blues, an enjoyably frightening intensity.

I actually knew Hilly from the NYC Hardcore days and I just have to say, it is the end of an era.
