I love Rock & Roll. And I love Rock & Roll stories. If anyone has any please share them here. When I say rock & roll stories I mean stuff like in the recent Rolling Stone they talked about how Jim Morrison was making out with a girl in a broom closet before a show. Turns out some cops broke it up and pulled him out, so later when he was on stage he started ripping the police and they eventually cancelled the show. How Vinny Chase is that? I also love that the Killers mixed their latest album “Sam’s Town” deliberately at higher volume levels so it automatically sounds louder on regular stereos. Check it out, it’s cool.
Interpol has their own rock & roll indulgence on Our Love to Admire. The deluxe edition I snaked out of Target for $9.99 is Johnny Cash black all over. But it also includes a 24-page booklet inside. What’s in the 24-page booklet you ask? Oh, half are black pages and the other half contain photos of hyenas, antelope, bison, elephants, and rams. Song lyrics? Nope, no room for those. Which is classic because best I can gather these guys have fantastic lyrics. I love that shit. Can you imagine the band sitting with the label and going, “No we really need the bison shot here. We can put the lyrics online somewhere.” Awesome. I’m sure there is a jackalope in the booklet somewhere too. For those about to act like proper rock stars, Music Martes salutes you!
