    41 years ago today the world lost the great Janis Joplin.

    Here she is with a hurricane-force cover of Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters’ Cry Baby in 1970.

  4. In 1983 I backpacked through Europe with a Sony Walkman and a few cassettes - Synchronicity, Rumors, Streetlight Serenade and Turnstiles.  

    I listened to these tapes hundreds and hundreds of times.

    gbattle:

    The Police - “Synchronicity I” - Synchronicity.  If you’ve had a conversation with me regarding synchronous vs. asynchronous social and contrarian value in the past 6 months, you’ll know why I posted this song.  More on this topic soon.

    With one breath, with one flow
    You will know
    Synchronicity

    A sleep trance, a dream dance,
    A shared romance,
    Synchronicity

    A connecting principle,
    Linked to the invisible
    Almost imperceptible
    Something inexpressible.
    Science insusceptible
    Logic so inflexible
    Causally connectable
    Yet nothing is invincible

    If we share this nightmare
    Then we can dream
    Spiritus mundi

    If you act, as you think,
    The missing link,
    Synchronicity

    We know you, they know me
    Extrasensory
    Synchronicity

    A star fall, a phone call,
    It joins all,
    Synchronicity

    It’s so deep, it’s so wide
    Your inside
    Synchronicity

    Effect without a cause
    Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
    Synchronicity…

  5. beautiful, gorgeous song, all the is good about Dawes is in here.  This is their “When I Paint My Masterpiece”

    Anyone that’s making anything new only breaks something else.

    When My Time Comes- Dawes

    We’re all super excited for the Dawes guys.  The new release is amazing but I’ll never get over When My Times Comes.  Long time coming since the SXSW days.  Wishing you guys all future success.  Come back to NYC soon.

  9. Whenever you listen to a piece of music, what you are actually doing is hearing the latest sentence in a very long story you’ve been listening to — all the pieces of music you’ve ever heard.

    — Brian Eno, in conversation with David Mitchell, The Believer (When asked, “Do you agree that no new genre is ever invented, but rather hybridised from something that was there before?” Eno answers: “Yes. Nothing starts from nowhere.”)

  10. truth be told, this might be my least favorite MG’s record (but again that’s like saying I have a least favorite pizza joint)

    that being said, I am not sure there is better song about being 17 years old anywhere. anywhere
