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.)
