  This has hit me hard. I’m consoling myself by listening to the sexiest, hardest, raunchiest, craziest Alex Chilton stuff that was ever made.

  We saw him in November. He was still in love with making music. It’s so wrong for someone who is still enjoying life so much to be plucked from it.

  (Sister Lovers, 1974)

  “Driving in my big black car, nothing can go wrong. Nothing can hurt me. Nothing can touch me. Why should I care? The lights above, oh yes. I see the stars above.”

  Alex Chilton, RIP.

  More Big Star.

  I can’t find my own words for this right now. For the time being, I’m posting what everyone else manages to say.

  Buffalo Tom - Taillights Fade

  When I first met J, I was flipping through his records, and saw he had a few Buffalo Tom records. “No one I’ve ever known has been into Buffalo Tom,” I said. And so we got married and had lots of babies and moved to Florida to retire and do crossword puzzles and die in each other’s arms. The end.

  (Buffalo Tom play Mercury Lounge on May 21st. We’ll be there.)
