Music
“ Monomania is the greatest album I’ve ever made and anybody that doesn’t like it has no idea what I’m about or what I’m doing. They’re simply avid fans of what’s called indie rock and think we’re a notable indie rock band. I hate indie rock and never liked the term. I don’t consider myself a participant in indie rock. I think it’s a ghetto.”
Deerhunter Hated "Indie Rock" And Were The Greatest Indie Rock Band Of Their Generation
Bradford Cox always had some great quotes. I’m a massive Deerhunter fan as well.

The Theory and Technique of Electronic Music
msp.ucsd.eduIn no particular order, these are ten albums released this year that I enjoyed. Are they the best? I dunno. Who cares? I don’t want to argue or invite discussion about that sort of thing. I do, however, want to introduce people to music they might not otherwise hear.

Gideon Gaye by The High Llamas
songwhip.comI’ve really been enjoying Faith, Hope and Carnage. It’s a conversation between Nick Cave and Sean O’Hagan in book form. It’s lovely. It dawned on me today that way back in the early 90s when I was a College Marketing Rep for Sony Music we worked Gideon Gaye by his band, The High Llamas. Been enjoying it today. It still holds up quite well.
