Burgerama III Day 1 At The Observatory (Part Two)
I had the chance to see Kim Shattuck not too long ago, during her short episode with the Pixies, and she was back with her own thing, the Muffs, playing inside the Observatory.

Vanity Fair ran an article asking if their readers could bring anybody back from the dead, who would it be. So always in the market to steal somebody elses idea, I thought I’d figure out the same concept for musicians.
Back when I was a teenager I adored him, his photo on my wall his named carved into my hand with a safety pin (not deep enough for forever THANK THE LORD!), but yeah, I loved all he stood for. Now I realize that without a stage and a guitar strap he was just a pathetic fucked up kid
A Swedish company named Pause, which ordinarily just sells stereo equipment, has come up with a new product, that each of us can’t wait to experiment: a designed coffin that will play music for you during eternity.
Nobody knows if McCready’s life would have turned around if she had lived but we do know for sure, it wouldn’t if she didn’t. So called animals in the jungle take care of their children, what is left if we won’t simply exist another coupla decades for them. Life is fast and then it’s gone.
‘I just started screaming, calling 911, I lay down next to him and just just pleaded with him not to die.’
Why should the age people died be so interesting… Presley was 42. Now I don’t know how old you are but 42 years old is at least an interesting age to die..
Bieber is looking for legislation to stop these guys from at least driving like maniacs. So far, the tough part is centering a piece of law based on a profession. I guess Bieber is thinking of something like the hate crimes law where the penalties are bigger for Paparazzi driving dangerously than for civilians but I doubt it will happen.
The shaking suicide, worthless end of the world as we know it shake it baby rolling on the floor and groaning DTs? Well mix em up and you have the mindset of a rock star and stir in even more loneliness for the pop star, and there you have it in a nutshell
I just wonder how much such a thing could be sold! According to NME, it came with a reserve price of $525,000 last time it was on sale! Right now, the price is only available upon request on Moments in Time, a website which offers rare manuscripts, letters and autographs and other historical memorabilia.
Look at it this way: 6 million years have gone by without your consciousness, and 6 million more will go by without your consciousness. For fuck’s sake tough it out for the 100 years you are conscious
So I am staying home, and I am listening to her snore and wheeze, and reveling in the swampiest, most awful breath that ever emanated from an angel.
Etta James, Whitney Houston, Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn (The Blues Brothers), Donna Summer, Robin Gibb (The Bee Gees), Don Cornelius, Adam Yauch (The Beastie Boys), Tommy Marth (The Killers), Dick Clark, Levon Helm (The Band), Chuck Brown (Godfather of Go-Go), Earl Scruggs, Greg Ham (Men at Work), Davy Jones (The Monkees), Doc Watson, Chris Ethridge (Flying Burrito Brothers), Jim Marshall (guitar amp), Jimmy Ellis (the Trammps), Ronnie Montrose (guitarist), Bob Weston (Fleetwood Mac),…
don’t know how you can have a song, or a playlist, represent your life. The song that meant the most? That reflects your very being? A state of mind or (hopefully) transition. A farewell and Amen, or a celebration?
And he was not making allusion to the fact the rapper appeared as a hologram two weekends in a row in Coachella, no, he was reanimating the persistent urban legend, suggesting that the real Tupac may be still alive:
‘Maybe the question is… Pac’s not really dead… Pac’s somewhere else.’
Whitney is incredible. Her eyes are slits, as though she is Asian, except they seem to be so narrow because her cheeks are puffy and it gives her a dreamy, sexy, just out of bed and ready to get back in post-coital glow for much of the movie
I am at Whitney’s funeral. I spoke with Bobby Brown trying to calm him down and not distract from the services. Today is about Whitney!’
I wonder, is it still private at this point? Why is the family pretending they want a private ceremony when this is mediatized to this extreme? And how much did CNN pay to be authorized to do this?
Aretha Franklin’s brilliant performance last night at Radio City Music Hall has left the queen Of Soul too ill to perform at Whitney’s funeral, gong even as I write.
Music, religion, grieving, more music, transcendence, hope, memory, faith, soul . Some people need to mourn in private, Aretha had said. Some people ned to mourn with people. She needed to mourn with people.
‘Whitney … Whitney … was put back onstage before she was ready to perform – by the colossal pig Clive Davis – who continued his party in the same hotel where she died and where her body still lay. Heresy.’
‘Thanks so much or all your messages and tweets about the GRAMMYs. I can now reveal that I was asked to perform a Clarence Clemmons tribute and then it got dropped to accommodate the tribute to Whitney Houston.’
You can find the whole story if you just read a book or go on the internet. It is a very transparent story. There is no real hidden thing in the Elliott Smith’s story. It is a very short story with a very limited cast of characters
My Twitter feed is just a long list of RIP Whitney, an outpouring of loving condolences, but who honestly was still thinking about her these days? And suddenly she is the greatest singer of all times,… Tony Bennett, you already said this when Amy Winehouse died!
