There's a hilarious line in Townshend's autobio about Vanilla Fudge: "Yes, they were louder than us. But they were still Vanilla Fudge."

I'm going to replace the "laser on" sign that lights up outside of our lab with "At one point, Head Hunters was the best selling jazz album of all time. Be warned though, there is experimentation happening here."

more keyboardists need to flail their left hand when they're not using it

at first I thought he was directing the band, and then I realized he was communing with the infinite wonder of an ever-expanding, unknowable universe
also I'm super-impressed that he can flail like that and still support his breath

When he would sit down on the piano, he would strike two half notes (notes next to each other that sound awful when played together) to simulate the imaginary notes between the two piano keys.
It's like a game of telephone that started with Hermann von Helmholtz in 1880 just finally made its way to Joseph Lapin, and he wrote down the message.

Wait does this fuck also review classical music for VV or are those (astonishing) bits pulled from elsewhere?

the dude that wrote the "ten jazz albums to hear before you die" piece also got a "top 5 multiplayer nintendo games" post up today at the oc weekly so i'm not surprised if he's covering classical too

I once saw Eleventh Dream Day, and I was trying to figure out the type of fish on the back of Doug McCombs's bass. "Trout?" I asked my friend out loud. "No, idiot," said some other guy. "It's a bass.

How many people buy circus peanuts a year, or were they just made all and once years ago and have been sitting on shelves ever since?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 November 2012 22:58 (eleven years ago) link
Just before birth, the fates allot each man a certain number of circus peanuts; when the last is eaten he is visited by death.
― multiple decades of jazz (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 13 November 2012 23:00 (eleven years ago) link
the first one was OK, but I tired of them midway through the second & threw the rest away. I was just kind of curious about them b/c I haven't eaten them since I was prob age 5 or so. Impressively, the texture & taste is even more artificial-seeming than you'd think, given their appearance.
