Basement Tapes low-key his masterpiece

Don’t know if I still agree with this take two years later, specifically the blonde comparison

I don't disagree Both in the all time breakup album pantheon

"I listen to Brenda Lee alot"

Lmao does he mean the Oasis brothers

@rise_zero I think he does

@twinkletoez

"Performers and songwriters recommend things to me. Others I just wake up and they’re there. Some I’ve seen live. The Oasis Brothers, I like them both, Julian Casablanca, the Klaxons, Grace Potter. I’ve seen Metallica twice. I’ve made special efforts to see Jack White and Alex Turner. Zac Deputy, I’ve discovered him lately. He’s a one man show like Ed Sheeran, but he sits down when he plays. I’m a fan of Royal Blood, Celeste, Rag and Bone Man, Wu-Tang, Eminem, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, anybody with a feeling for words and language, anybody whose vision parallels mine."

Wish I could jam some Wu Tang with Bob

"There’s a sameness to everything nowadays. We seem to be in a vacuum. Everything’s become too smooth and painless. We jumped into the mainstream, the big river, with all the industrial waste, chemical debris, rocks, and mudflow, along with Brian Wilson and his brothers, Soupy Sales, and Tennessee Ernie Ford. The earth could vomit up its dead, and it could be raining blood, and we’d shrug it off, cool as cucumbers. Everything’s too easy. Just one stroke of the ring finger, middle finger, one little click, that’s all it takes, and we’re there. We’ve dropped the coin right into the slot. We’re pill poppers, cube heads and day trippers, hanging in, hanging out, gobbling blue devils, black mollies, anything we can get our hands on. Not to mention the nose candy and ganga grass. It’s all too easy, too democratic. You need a solar X-ray detector just to find somebody’s heart, see if they still have one"

Does anybody but Waits and Dylan talk like this maybe Beefheart

I can see that

Supersonic lyrics could come straight out of a Dylan song

This is an excellent interview

@RVI

"I listened to The Mothers of Invention record Freak Out!, that I hadn’t heard in a long, long time. What an eloquent record. “Hungry Freaks, Daddy,” and the other one, “Who Are the Brain Police,” perfect songs for the pandemic. No doubt about it, Zappa was light years ahead of his time. I’ve always thought that."

Need Bob to give a co-sign

if he heard Wayne's version of Help! he would be amazed

I need to dive deeper into Wayne

Youve never heard it it's crazy how different everybody's favorite Wayne songs are

I never went through the Carter 3 leaks
