KSHE Klassics, August 27, 2017

Quotation du jour: Brian Eno (in 1982) ~ I was talking to Lou Reed the other day, and he said that the first Velvet Underground record sold only 30,000 copies in its first five years. Yet, that was an enormously important record for so many people. I think everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band!

It was another case of, “whoa, where did four hours go?” again this morning, and it was a pretty painless listening experience, too. The music was excellent, of course and when i say “painless,” i mean in terms of my occasionally crappy Internet connection. It did, in fact, die once, for a couple of minutes, but that meant that i missed most of the REO Speedwagon song, so i wasn't devastated.

(I know that REO Speedwagon is revered by rock radio in the U.S., and reviled by rock radio in Canada -- not that i listen to Canadian radio any more -- and, although i've tried to appreciate 'em for the sake of my American brothers & sisters, i really, really, think that they -- to use a technical term -- suck.)
