Black Keys and Jack White for Album of the Year? Are Grammy’s trying to win back their credibility?
Quote
There was a time when an indie-rock band couldn’t write lyrics that inserted a knot in your throat without being “emo,” couldn’t craft choruses that lunged for the stratosphere without becoming “sell outs,” and couldn’t give an album a giddily triumphant title without being “ironic.” Thank God Japandroids are post-everything…Celebration Rock is one spring-loaded, sincere fist pump for booze and bad decisions, of being 30 but feeling 16 one night and 45 the next. It’s freedom rock for bleeding hearts — turn it up.

Sentimental music has this great way of taking you back somewhere at the same time that it takes you forward, so you feel nostagic and hopeful all at the same time.

It’s already time to buy your ticket to next year’s biggest party!
Funny, although I’m sure a few are inside jokes for people who’ve actually been there.

From his Keynote speech at SXSW.
“The purity of human expression and experience is not confined to guitars, to tubes, to turntables, to microchips…There is no right way, no pure way, of doing it. There is just doing it.”
