Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

did so much?

i just can't stand the way they sing. that nasal, atonal vocal style does not do it for me, and they seem to use it more and more.

i'll deal, but..it's still not my bag.

I agree wholeheartedly. The man was total punk rock.

his last years seem very sad to me, though....

there's a messenger here i haven't asked about this, but who i think told me some time ago at a party that (s)he knew fahey. of course, i don't want to assume that my memories from a time a year ago when i was drunk are accurate.

Two close friends of mine went to see him at the Knitting Factory not long before he died. He never showed, and then he croaked soon after.

Yeah, I was rockin' junior high big time with that album. That was back when Michael looked human and even normal.


Had a good ride the other night listening to "Quadrophenia" by the Who. Double album that gets you pumped; it got me 25 miles from home. I then threw on some Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five and came on back. "Space is the Place", oh yeah. Added Prince's "Black Album" (I've got two different bootlegs plus his release of that album). "Supercalafragasexy"

since i'm not a music nerd, I can only assume that's "dianetics: the album" or something like that.

The The Dusk. One of the few albums I can listen to over and over again. Then again I'll listen to anything that Jonny Marr is involved in.
