WTF?

One audio upload a day!?

Well, tomorrow the Klezmatics, the day after the Minutemen (yes, I’ll explain the thinking when I get to it), at some point John Doe (but not Exene Cervenka), eventually Gift of Gab, Billy Bragg, Curtis Mayfield (yes how ‘bout that), whoever else. I guess I won’t end up laying all this shit out beforehand — fuck it, we’ll do it live.

Briefly, though, people who look exactly like they sound: Mick Jagger, Patti Smith, Lou Reed, Flipper, Bill Withers, Feist, Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen, Boots Riley, Richard Hell, Merle Haggard, the Replacements, Howlin Wolf, the Pistols and the Damned and the Clash, Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Iggy Pop. I guess these people all have the virtue of being iconic (Flipper, Boots Riley, and arguably “iconic indie chanteuse” Feist aside), but fucking Iggy Pop will always look like fucking Iggy Pop.
