Let's here some favorite quotes. Funny, serious, love, hate. Whatever.

Here are two:

"[T]here are people who don't need to actually hear a song about a packet ship full of Barbary lepers plotting revenge on the cruel son of a matchstick factory owner (set to the tune of a Basque sea chanty that was popular for fifteen minutes during a fishmongers' strike in 1848) to feel their lives somehow enriched by it. For some, it's enough just to know it's there." - Andy Smetanka of Tarkio, while writing about The Decemberists

and


"There are very few moments in a man's existence when he experiences so much ludicrous distress, or meets with so little charitable commiseration, as when he is in pursuit of his own hat."
- Charles Dickens "The Pickwick Papers"

This. Listening to Tom Waits is like listening to Johnny Cash 5 years ago. Pretty much a dead give away for hipsterdom.

Some of my favourites are:

"Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders. "

Johnny Cash has never been a bad thing to listen to. I do remember a spike in fandom five years ago though. Did not complain at the time.

>I think one of the most boring things is a person's taste. Its exposition is usually someone's pathetic appeal, asking "Am I OK?" It's nothing I find that interesting and usually don't talk about, just because I feel weird assuming strangers Would want to read about it.

- Ian Williams, greatest living guitarist.
