"It's not supposed to rain today."
I've been listening to the newish Ryan Adams & The Cardinals a lot and love the song 'Death and Rats', in particular. Smithsy, jangly guitar is usually a pretty decent blueprint for a song to follow. Scary that this was something he'd just knocked out and wasn't even planning on releasing.
In other news, something I very much liked this month was Will Sheff's take on those people who were complaining that they'd never heard of the person who won 'Best New Artist' at the Grammys...
"I read pages and pages of people shouting in all caps "I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THEM" as if that's a valid musical critique, as if that's anything but a braying declaration of proud ignorance."
Will Sheff is fast becoming my hero.
