The World's Loudest Instrument
The instruments are part of "Desibel", an exhibit made for the 30th anniversary of the Vevring Art Exhibition, created by Geir Hjetland. The composition is by Maia Ratkje.

Doug said "I took that picture."
From then on, I saw him (or at least his flash go up above the crowd) at every show I went to in Michigan. Often multiple in a single night.
See some more of what Doug sees on his Flickr page.

Shaggs! Interviewed!
Samm Bennett
Oh. My. God. This is BIG, y'all. A contemporary interview with the two surviving Shaggs members, the studio engineer who recorded Philosophy of the World, and others. Amazing.
Listen to the latest tapes. Take a burger break.
"You Will Always Bring Me Flowers"
On repeat this morning...
Shannon and the Clams - You Will Always Bring Me Flowers
(You said) You will always bring me flowers
(You said) You will always bring me flowers
(You always said) You will always bring me flowers
(You said)
I know it's been a tough winter
I know 'cause I've been freezin' too
Hold tight and bundle up baby,
Next spring I'll be coming for you.
I've watched all the leaves change.
I've seen all the petals fall
Then I remembered your promise,
Next spring time don't matter at al.
I waited with all the bluebells,
Lilies and Chrysanthemums too.
Black Eyes Susan was dancin' with Daisy
Snapdragons, we're all waiting for you.
(x2-4ish)
