Bodies of Water

12.21.07 – I can’t understand why anyone likes these musical groups and singers:

Wilco
Jeff Buckley
Elvis Costello
The Police
Slint
Rush
Joni Mitchell
Steely Dan
Afghan Whigs

Perhaps you are offended by this. If so, I feel glad. You need to be shaken up. You need to have whatever skewed values you’ve cultivated over the years CHALLENGED. Listen again to this stuff – you will see that it is junk. (I say all this with the utmost sincerity, but I’m sure that in a year or two ‘synchronicity’ will be on heavy rotation in my house. This goes for all of these except for Steely Dan. I will never, ever like Steely Dan as long as I live.)
