The school year was coming to a close and chances were I wouldn’t run into Molly Wannemacher after that evening, as she usually spent summers at basketball camp. With toes curled and palms wet, I set my Dixie cup of Hi-C down on the pavement and approached Molly for the final song, “Because You Loved Me” by Celine Dion from the always underrated film \u003cem>Up Close and Personal\u003c/em>. The song itself begins pretty immediately, Celine’s voice wasting no time. Molly accepted my invitation, shyly but certain, her hands around my neck, my hands on her hips. We had danced many times before but this time was to be different and we both knew it. I decided to wait for the bridge to do it: \u003cem>you were always there for me / the tender wind that carried me. \u003c/em>I slid my hands from her hips to her butt and kept them there for the final chorus. I’m not sure if Sister Monica or Mrs. Ratchuk saw, or if classmates were whispering behind our backs. Nothing mattered in that moment. I even think the sun was setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/nataliegrace/\" target=\"_blank\">Natalie Grace Sweet\u003c/a>, \"Beast of Burden\"/Rolling Stones\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8On3UiBOTdQ&w=420&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>I remember exactly where I was when I was officially felt swept off my feet; Driving down Bethel Church Road in Bethel Park, PA in my boyfriend's parent's 1988 blue Dodge Caravan, I had shotgun. My hair was bleach blonde then and pulled back at the sides with two barrettes adorned by tiny photos of Betty Page. The night was crispy and I shivered a little under my jean jacket hoodie combo. We turned on the radio. I loved music and I loved my boyfriend, almost in equal measure, but there was a lot I still didn't know. For one thing, I couldn't read the boy's mind and always wondered how he \u003cem>really\u003c/em> felt. He was, sometimes, a man of few words. As we crossed Edward Street, he flinched, reached forward, turned up the volume on the stereo and said, \"I wrote this for you.\" He didn't of course, Keith and Mick did, but I got the point. It was the first time I ever remember really listening to that song. That's how my love for the Rolling Stones truly began...and that's when I knew my boyfriend really liked me, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/natewaggoner/\" target=\"_blank\">Nate Waggoner\u003c/a>, TIE \"Kick Out the Jams\"/ MC5 & \"A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock and Roll\"/Donny and Marie Osmond\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM6nasmkg7A&w=420&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMZCWGyk388&w=420&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>On our first date, as I was driving, I handed Alicia my iPod and asked her to pick something. It was inconsiderate of me; she was nervous and felt she had to pick just the right thing, nothing cheesily romantic or unhip. She nailed it, though: \"Kick Out the Jams\" by MC5, which is fun and meaningless and cool. When our dating turned into a relationship, we discussed what our \"song\" might be. One option was \"Kick Out the Jams.\" Alicia proposed \"A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock and Roll,\" which is corny as hell, old-fashioned, innocent and sweet. I said, \"No, it can't be something too ironic.\" She said she wasn't being ironic at all.

And Souixsie’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i41W-NIjMfs\" target=\"_blank\">“Peek-a-Boo”\u003c/a> in the car of the cool older boy who drove me to art galleries and artsy movie theatres. There were the Cat Power tinged years of my hot college boyfriend who wore \u003ca href=\"http://www.john-wiese.com/zine/?attachment_id=5311\" target=\"_blank\">Whorehouse of Representatives t-shirts\u003c/a>. There was the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a1NhRbNJ_Y\" target=\"_blank\">“Vitamin C” song by Can\u003c/a> that every boy I ever had a crush on seemed to listen to for some reason. There’s the RJD2, Camera Obscura and Tom Waits of three memorable flings, and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fx0bYcduEMM\" target=\"_blank\">June of 44 record\u003c/a> a cute boy with ulterior motives invited me to listen to in his dorm room lit by Christmas lights. But the song that sticks out above all others is Guided By Voices, “Awful Bliss.” It first appeared on a mixed tape from a boy, with sides entitled Sex=Rock and Love=Roll. The mix, despite its awesome title, was not an overt love letter as most mixed tapes are, but something far cooler and more subtle, qualities that the maker of the mix possessed as well. He was a friend and we’d been secretly in love for years, punctuated by awesomely inappropriate emails, a variety of fraught antics and mixed tapes. Lots of mixes. But the Sex=Rock and Love=Roll mix took it next level. It was the precursor to the secret love not being secret anymore. Due to its sweeping, opaque emotion and brevity, this song, the last one on the second side, lent itself to being listened to over and over (and over), and so I did. It suggested to me that he was afraid of how in love with me he was, an interpretation I’m sticking with to this day. The best part was the line, “I wouldn’t dare,” which meant that, of course, he would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/emmanuelhapsis/\" target=\"_blank\">Emmanuel Hapsis\u003c/a>, \"Lovefool\"/The Cardigans\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUodwTf8JJw&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Certain songs have the mighty nostalgic power to dismantle your current scene and transport you to some long-ago bedroom or rooftop or any other place where you experienced something. That song for me is The Cardigans' \"Lovefool,\" a pop song so sweet it'll give you a cavity. I certainly served my time with this earworm in the '90s, playing it from my Talkboy (hey, Macauley!), while biking around a suburb of Baltimore, but that's not where the song takes me. Instead, I am sent to the passenger seat in a car with the windows rolled down next to the first boy I ever kissed. It was a time when I was coming to terms with my sexuality and just being a human being, really. He was driving me to my morning class after staying up all night talking about our favorite everythings and I sang out the mantra \"Love me, love me, say that you love me!\" He looked over at me with adoration and that was the first time I allowed myself to feel those things I read about in novels and saw play out in the hallways on \u003cem>My So Called Life\u003c/em>, the things I thought were meant for others. For most, \"Lovefool\" is a sugary reminder of Lisa Frank binders and scrunchies. But, for me, it's the complete restaging of the moment when I finally loved myself enough to be loved, the moment when I became real at last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/lizzyacker/\" target=\"_blank\">Lizzy Acker\u003c/a>, \"Crush\"/Dave Matthews Band\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elUwSHjfA94&w=420&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Anne of Green Gables before me, most of my truly romantic moments have happened in my imagination. I heard “Crush” for the first time on I-5, driving from Corvallis up to Portland to my first/only during-high-school college visit. I was 17. My boyfriend/true love at the time was named Steve and we were at that point in our young love relationship where even being away from him for 24 hours seemed like an insurmountable mountain of despair. I never wanted to be away from him. I would have been happy to have him surgically attached to my side. So he made me a mixed tape, obviously, and while I drove up the freeway in my parents’ Subaru Legacy with the windows cracked and the stereo on loud, this song came on and I felt like I was floating in a cloud of love and I knew exactly what Dave Matthews meant and I knew that Steve knew too. Needless to say, I hated the college visit and spent the next three to four years trying to make my Dave Matthews romantic fantasy with Steve come true. Thankfully for both of us, it didn’t work out. But I keep his mixed tapes in my living room to this day (see above) and listen to them when I feel like no one in the world loves me, just to remember that magic feeling of perfect romance and fantasy love, not knowing if you're right side up or upside down, pinching yourself because you aren't sure if you're dreaming.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I decided to wait for the bridge to do it: \u003cem>you were always there for me / the tender wind that carried me. \u003c/em>I slid my hands from her hips to her butt and kept them there for the final chorus. I’m not sure if Sister Monica or Mrs. Ratchuk saw, or if classmates were whispering behind our backs. Nothing mattered in that moment.

My hair was bleach blonde then and pulled back at the sides with two barrettes adorned by tiny photos of Betty Page. The night was crispy and I shivered a little under my jean jacket hoodie combo. We turned on the radio. I loved music and I loved my boyfriend, almost in equal measure, but there was a lot I still didn't know. For one thing, I couldn't read the boy's mind and always wondered how he \u003cem>really\u003c/em> felt. He was, sometimes, a man of few words. As we crossed Edward Street, he flinched, reached forward, turned up the volume on the stereo and said, \"I wrote this for you.\" He didn't of course, Keith and Mick did, but I got the point. It was the first time I ever remember really listening to that song. That's how my love for the Rolling Stones truly began...and that's when I knew my boyfriend really liked me, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One option was \"Kick Out the Jams.\" Alicia proposed \"A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock and Roll,\" which is corny as hell, old-fashioned, innocent and sweet.

There was the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a1NhRbNJ_Y\" target=\"_blank\">“Vitamin C” song by Can\u003c/a> that every boy I ever had a crush on seemed to listen to for some reason.

But the song that sticks out above all others is Guided By Voices, “Awful Bliss.” It first appeared on a mixed tape from a boy, with sides entitled Sex=Rock and Love=Roll. The mix, despite its awesome title, was not an overt love letter as most mixed tapes are, but something far cooler and more subtle, qualities that the maker of the mix possessed as well. He was a friend and we’d been secretly in love for years, punctuated by awesomely inappropriate emails, a variety of fraught antics and mixed tapes. Lots of mixes. But the Sex=Rock and Love=Roll mix took it next level. It was the precursor to the secret love not being secret anymore. Due to its sweeping, opaque emotion and brevity, this song, the last one on the second side, lent itself to being listened to over and over (and over), and so I did. It suggested to me that he was afraid of how in love with me he was, an interpretation I’m sticking with to this day. The best part was the line, “I wouldn’t dare,” which meant that, of course, he would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/emmanuelhapsis/\" target=\"_blank\">Emmanuel Hapsis\u003c/a>, \"Lovefool\"/The Cardigans\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/VUodwTf8JJw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/VUodwTf8JJw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>Certain songs have the mighty nostalgic power to dismantle your current scene and transport you to some long-ago bedroom or rooftop or any other place where you experienced something. That song for me is The Cardigans' \"Lovefool,\" a pop song so sweet it'll give you a cavity. I certainly served my time with this earworm in the '90s, playing it from my Talkboy (hey, Macauley!), while biking around a suburb of Baltimore, but that's not where the song takes me. Instead, I am sent to the passenger seat in a car with the windows rolled down next to the first boy I ever kissed. It was a time when I was coming to terms with my sexuality and just being a human being, really. He was driving me to my morning class after staying up all night talking about our favorite everythings and I sang out the mantra \"Love me, love me, say that you love me!\" He looked over at me with adoration and that was the first time I allowed myself to feel those things I read about in novels and saw play out in the hallways on \u003cem>My So Called Life\u003c/em>, the things I thought were meant for others. For most, \"Lovefool\" is a sugary reminder of Lisa Frank binders and scrunchies. But, for me, it's the complete restaging of the moment when I finally loved myself enough to be loved, the moment when I became real at last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/author/lizzyacker/\" target=\"_blank\">Lizzy Acker\u003c/a>, \"Crush\"/Dave Matthews Band\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/elUwSHjfA94'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/elUwSHjfA94'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I heard “Crush” for the first time on I-5, driving from Corvallis up to Portland to my first/only during-high-school college visit. I was 17. My boyfriend/true love at the time was named Steve and we were at that point in our young love relationship where even being away from him for 24 hours seemed like an insurmountable mountain of despair. I never wanted to be away from him. I would have been happy to have him surgically attached to my side. So he made me a mixed tape, obviously, and while I drove up the freeway in my parents’ Subaru Legacy with the windows cracked and the stereo on loud, this song came on and I felt like I was floating in a cloud of love and I knew exactly what Dave Matthews meant and I knew that Steve knew too. Needless to say, I hated the college visit and spent the next three to four years trying to make my Dave Matthews romantic fantasy with Steve come true. Thankfully for both of us, it didn’t work out. But I keep his mixed tapes in my living room to this day (see above) and listen to them when I feel like no one in the world loves me, just to remember that magic feeling of perfect romance and fantasy love, not knowing if you're right side up or upside down, pinching yourself because you aren't sure if you're dreaming.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Your turntable's been spinning so long the needle has worn thin (\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERkJnIiet0c\">good luck replacing it\u003c/a>).

You rush home from work just to play every Beatles song ever backwards to finally get all those \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking\">secret messages\u003c/a> you'd been missing by listening exclusively to iTunes before. You long to hear the blissful crackle of the needle on the semi-dusty spinning vinyl, a sound so sweet and specific only a veritable vinyl votary could appreciate, but things are getting out of control. You are now addicted to records. Congratulations, I knew you'd come around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/fourthfloor/386053702/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm1.staticflickr.com/179/386053702_d7e5dc6321_z.jpg?zz=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"477\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/ Fourth Floor\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cdiv>Unlike other addictions, record obsession won't cause any major health problems. It won't shorten your lifespan in any way, and it's arguable that this addiction could actually improve your life. It (probably) won't cause you physical pain. Since records are not harmful, save the sneezes incurred from cleaning off a real oldie, I vote we nurture this addiction rather than eradicate it. Happily, there are plenty of uses for records aside from just listening. With just a bit of imagination you'll soon view those magical albums as not just music but as a medium.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>The coolest part about records is that they're made of vinyl (\u003cem>Like, duh\u003c/em> \u003cem>Natalie\u003c/em>!). My point is, vinyl is malleable and malleability gives us options. If we're talking about your \u003ca href=\"http://www.allmusic.com/album/lamf-the-lost-77-mixes-mw0000628309\">all-time favorite album\u003c/a> , I would not recommend letting it get anywhere near extreme temperatures but for crafty projects, records \u003cem>love\u003c/em> heat. Use your oven and your stove top burners to loosen up the vinyl and prepare for your creative manipulation. Heating the vinyl will also allow you to cut into it thereby creating shapes and pieces. Just think of what you can create with vinyl as your canvass. Whether it be for art, fashion or function, the possibilities feel limitless but here are a few ideas to get you started.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Bowl\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Record bowls are an excellent place to start. As a novice crafter, I try to keep things simple. Few crafts are as simple and impressive as the record bowl so it's a double win. To get started you'll want to open your kitchen windows and get that ventilator fan going. After all, melted plastic is harmful if breathed in repeatedly, I assume, so let's not risk it. Now that you're breathing easy, you can heat your oven to approximately 150 degrees. Grab an oven-ready (think stainless steel or ceramic) bowl, flip it upside down on a cookie sheet, then place a record on top making sure to line up the center of the record with the center of the bowl. This bowl is going to essentially be your pattern. Once your oven is nice and warm, pop the cookie sheet in the over for about five minutes. The record will start melt into a nice bendy shape over the bowl. When you take the cookie sheet out of the oven, use an oven-mitt covered hand to push the vinyl into the shape you'd like keeping in mind that each record melts a bit differently. After a few minutes in the cold air, the vinyl will harden in it's new shape. BOOM! There you have a record bowl!\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/35754040@N04/6639365079/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7025/6639365079_168598e3cd_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/Stacie Stacie Stacie\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>If you'd like to go the extra mile with your record bowl, you can really sass it up \u003ca href=\"http://www.bangorcork.com/\">by adding cork\u003c/a> to the bottom and \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/castincraft-clear-polyester-casting-resin/\">casting resin\u003c/a> in the base. This can get a bit messy until you get the hang of it but in the end creates a beautiful, useable bowl.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>I have also attempted this full project using 45s. It is possible to achieve a cute bowl from a 45 but it takes a lot of patience and trial and error. For some reason those little records just don't like to be manipulated as much as the larger ones do.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Picture frame\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Similar to the bowl, making a cool record album picture frame is super-easy! Again heat your oven to 150 but this time place the record directly on the cookie sheet. As the record heats up in the oven, the center will remain flat while sides will curl. When the record cools, you can \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/plaid-mod-podge/\">decoupage\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/3m-spray-mount-artists-adhesive/\">spray mount\u003c/a> your favorite photo into the center.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Bookends/Shelves\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Fill your sink with approximately 4 inches of hot water. Pop on your heat resistant dishwashing gloves and submerge the record in the hot water until it becomes pliable. Using your hand or a large spoon (or whatever you like), bend the record 90 degrees. Allow the record to dry in the cold air. One book end can hold about five or six books. If you cheap the angle a bit and leave the hole on one of the flat sides, you can attach the record to a wall to create unique shelf.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/gasoline_rainbows/6417548949/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6417548949_af82f546d1_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/abbyfcastelo\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Clock\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>If you're looking for a wall clock, look no further than your record collection. You'll need a 12\" record and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/3m-spray-mount-artists-adhesive/\">clock kit from a craft or hardware store\u003c/a> and a drill. Simply drill through the record hole to widen it a bit to make space for the clock kit. The kit should easily pop into place. If you'd like to jazz up the clock or you know add numbers to it you can do so by silk screening or spray painting (with stencils) directly on the record.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/pcormack/6155631209/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6083/6155631209_441dff5322_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/paulcormack\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Coasters\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Record coasters look awesome, obviously. But I'd always assumed they were impossible to make at home. Not so, amigos. Heat up that oven again-this time to 150-200 degrees-and pop in a record on a cookie sheet. Once it's nice and bendy, remove it from the oven using a gloved hand and using sharp scissors begin to cut out the center of the record. The record's center label will act as your guide, just follow your way around. If you're unable to finish cutting before the record hardens back up, no problem! Simply reheat the record and start cutting again. Repeat as often as needed. If your cutting left any rough edges use a piece of sandpaper to smooth them. Now take your coasters outside and waterproof them using a spray sealer like \u003ca href=\"http://www.ilovetocreate.com/Aleenes-Spray-Acrylic-Sealer-136\">Arlene's\u003c/a>. This will, of course, allow you to set your drinks down without the worry of wrecking your rad coasters. Finally, trace a coaster-sized circle on cork or felt , cut it out, and adhere the cork to the bottom of your coaster. Look what you just made!\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/misscourageous/3045171356/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3011/3045171356_defe537685_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/misscourageous\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>This is just the begining.

So after a bright and beautiful \u003ca href=\"http://www.recordstoreday.com/\">Record Store Day\u003c/a> last Saturday, you're now likely tripping over stacks of albums scored at discounted prices. Your turntable's been spinning so long the needle has worn thin (\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERkJnIiet0c\">good luck replacing it\u003c/a>). Your neighbors will scream if they hear Cheap Trick through your bedroom wall one more time, but they don't understand that you just nabbed \u003cem>Dream Police\u003c/em> in mint condition for just $4! You rush home from work just to play every Beatles song ever backwards to finally get all those \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backmasking\">secret messages\u003c/a> you'd been missing by listening exclusively to iTunes before. You long to hear the blissful crackle of the needle on the semi-dusty spinning vinyl, a sound so sweet and specific only a veritable vinyl votary could appreciate, but things are getting out of control. You are now addicted to records. Congratulations, I knew you'd come around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/fourthfloor/386053702/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm1.staticflickr.com/179/386053702_d7e5dc6321_z.jpg?zz=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"477\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/ Fourth Floor\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cdiv>Unlike other addictions, record obsession won't cause any major health problems. It won't shorten your lifespan in any way, and it's arguable that this addiction could actually improve your life. It (probably) won't cause you physical pain. Since records are not harmful, save the sneezes incurred from cleaning off a real oldie, I vote we nurture this addiction rather than eradicate it. Happily, there are plenty of uses for records aside from just listening. With just a bit of imagination you'll soon view those magical albums as not just music but as a medium.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>The coolest part about records is that they're made of vinyl (\u003cem>Like, duh\u003c/em> \u003cem>Natalie\u003c/em>!). My point is, vinyl is malleable and malleability gives us options. If we're talking about your \u003ca href=\"http://www.allmusic.com/album/lamf-the-lost-77-mixes-mw0000628309\">all-time favorite album\u003c/a> , I would not recommend letting it get anywhere near extreme temperatures but for crafty projects, records \u003cem>love\u003c/em> heat. Use your oven and your stove top burners to loosen up the vinyl and prepare for your creative manipulation. Heating the vinyl will also allow you to cut into it thereby creating shapes and pieces. Just think of what you can create with vinyl as your canvass. Whether it be for art, fashion or function, the possibilities feel limitless but here are a few ideas to get you started.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Bowl\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Record bowls are an excellent place to start. As a novice crafter, I try to keep things simple. Few crafts are as simple and impressive as the record bowl so it's a double win. To get started you'll want to open your kitchen windows and get that ventilator fan going. After all, melted plastic is harmful if breathed in repeatedly, I assume, so let's not risk it. Now that you're breathing easy, you can heat your oven to approximately 150 degrees. Grab an oven-ready (think stainless steel or ceramic) bowl, flip it upside down on a cookie sheet, then place a record on top making sure to line up the center of the record with the center of the bowl. This bowl is going to essentially be your pattern. Once your oven is nice and warm, pop the cookie sheet in the over for about five minutes. The record will start melt into a nice bendy shape over the bowl. When you take the cookie sheet out of the oven, use an oven-mitt covered hand to push the vinyl into the shape you'd like keeping in mind that each record melts a bit differently. After a few minutes in the cold air, the vinyl will harden in it's new shape. BOOM! There you have a record bowl!\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/35754040@N04/6639365079/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7025/6639365079_168598e3cd_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/Stacie Stacie Stacie\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>If you'd like to go the extra mile with your record bowl, you can really sass it up \u003ca href=\"http://www.bangorcork.com/\">by adding cork\u003c/a> to the bottom and \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/castincraft-clear-polyester-casting-resin/\">casting resin\u003c/a> in the base. This can get a bit messy until you get the hang of it but in the end creates a beautiful, useable bowl.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>I have also attempted this full project using 45s. It is possible to achieve a cute bowl from a 45 but it takes a lot of patience and trial and error. For some reason those little records just don't like to be manipulated as much as the larger ones do.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Picture frame\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Similar to the bowl, making a cool record album picture frame is super-easy! Again heat your oven to 150 but this time place the record directly on the cookie sheet. As the record heats up in the oven, the center will remain flat while sides will curl. When the record cools, you can \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/plaid-mod-podge/\">decoupage\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/3m-spray-mount-artists-adhesive/\">spray mount\u003c/a> your favorite photo into the center.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Bookends/Shelves\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Fill your sink with approximately 4 inches of hot water. Pop on your heat resistant dishwashing gloves and submerge the record in the hot water until it becomes pliable. Using your hand or a large spoon (or whatever you like), bend the record 90 degrees. Allow the record to dry in the cold air. One book end can hold about five or six books. If you cheap the angle a bit and leave the hole on one of the flat sides, you can attach the record to a wall to create unique shelf.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/gasoline_rainbows/6417548949/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7170/6417548949_af82f546d1_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/abbyfcastelo\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Clock\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>If you're looking for a wall clock, look no further than your record collection. You'll need a 12\" record and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dickblick.com/products/3m-spray-mount-artists-adhesive/\">clock kit from a craft or hardware store\u003c/a> and a drill. Simply drill through the record hole to widen it a bit to make space for the clock kit. The kit should easily pop into place. If you'd like to jazz up the clock or you know add numbers to it you can do so by silk screening or spray painting (with stencils) directly on the record.\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/pcormack/6155631209/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6083/6155631209_441dff5322_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/paulcormack\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003cstrong>Coasters\u003c/strong>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>Record coasters look awesome, obviously. But I'd always assumed they were impossible to make at home. Not so, amigos. Heat up that oven again-this time to 150-200 degrees-and pop in a record on a cookie sheet. Once it's nice and bendy, remove it from the oven using a gloved hand and using sharp scissors begin to cut out the center of the record. The record's center label will act as your guide, just follow your way around. If you're unable to finish cutting before the record hardens back up, no problem! Simply reheat the record and start cutting again. Repeat as often as needed. If your cutting left any rough edges use a piece of sandpaper to smooth them. Now take your coasters outside and waterproof them using a spray sealer like \u003ca href=\"http://www.ilovetocreate.com/Aleenes-Spray-Acrylic-Sealer-136\">Arlene's\u003c/a>. This will, of course, allow you to set your drinks down without the worry of wrecking your rad coasters. Finally, trace a coaster-sized circle on cork or felt , cut it out, and adhere the cork to the bottom of your coaster. Look what you just made!\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/misscourageous/3045171356/\">\u003cimg class=\" \" src=\"http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3011/3045171356_defe537685_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr/misscourageous\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv>This is just the begining. Records can be used to make bags, book covers, jewelry and even sculture, so it goes without saying that they also make excellent gifts. So heat up your oven, grab some records from the $1 bin, and let's get crafting. Let us know what you create.\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A once-frequented teenage hotspot, today the record store serves more like a museum than a local hang out. It’s an emporium of musical memorabilia, an homage to a world that was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was 11, my parents dropped me off at the McKinley Mall with a handful of dollar bills in my pocket. I bypassed the Gap and Burger King and bee-lined it straight for \u003ca href=\"http://www.recordtheatre.com/\">Record Theater\u003c/a>, Buffalo’s oldest and largest independently owned record store, and I purchased my first CD single: SWV’s “\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/h6qiV2nS6Js\">Weak\u003c/a>.” I’d been to Record Theater before and sauntered up and down the aisles but was too young of a human to actually have (or need) money. But that day I had it in my hand, I could touch it, those smooth Sisters With Voices and I bought it with my own lawn-mowing cash. I was the proud owner of a compact disc. And it wasn’t just “Weak” once. It was the Radio Edit, it was the \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/KJYI2TiLgBM\">Bam Jam Jeep\u003c/a> remix, and the R-N-B remix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I grew up, going to the record store was a semi-event, something to do by yourself or with a friend on a day off from work. Grab a coffee and let’s go get lost for an hour or so. Flick through the endless vinyls, their covers bigger than the thumbnails we see now. Ask Jack, the ear-gauged manager about what song is playing. Jack points to the display that says “Playing Now.” Oops. Probably buy something and unwrap it in your car. Head home with it playing. Keep driving until it ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>II.\u003cbr>\nThe latest trends in music and \u003ca href=\"http://rookiemag.com/\">fashion\u003c/a> are likely to be found right here in the blogosphere.

A few years later, Metallica kicked of a campaign to reintroduce the record store to America.

A once-frequented teenage hotspot, today the record store serves more like a museum than a local hang out. It’s an emporium of musical memorabilia, an homage to a world that was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I was 11, my parents dropped me off at the McKinley Mall with a handful of dollar bills in my pocket. I bypassed the Gap and Burger King and bee-lined it straight for \u003ca href=\"http://www.recordtheatre.com/\">Record Theater\u003c/a>, Buffalo’s oldest and largest independently owned record store, and I purchased my first CD single: SWV’s “\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/h6qiV2nS6Js\">Weak\u003c/a>.” I’d been to Record Theater before and sauntered up and down the aisles but was too young of a human to actually have (or need) money. But that day I had it in my hand, I could touch it, those smooth Sisters With Voices and I bought it with my own lawn-mowing cash. I was the proud owner of a compact disc. And it wasn’t just “Weak” once. It was the Radio Edit, it was the \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/KJYI2TiLgBM\">Bam Jam Jeep\u003c/a> remix, and the R-N-B remix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I grew up, going to the record store was a semi-event, something to do by yourself or with a friend on a day off from work. Grab a coffee and let’s go get lost for an hour or so. Flick through the endless vinyls, their covers bigger than the thumbnails we see now. Ask Jack, the ear-gauged manager about what song is playing. Jack points to the display that says “Playing Now.” Oops. Probably buy something and unwrap it in your car. Head home with it playing. Keep driving until it ends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>II.\u003cbr>\nThe latest trends in music and \u003ca href=\"http://rookiemag.com/\">fashion\u003c/a> are likely to be found right here in the blogosphere.

A few years later, Metallica kicked of a campaign to reintroduce the record store to America. Whether the band was fighting for the greater cause or the greater cause was their big egos, who’s to say?

They're so stylish and outgoing and talented. It always looked like they were having the most fun--playing gigs, making music videos, going to the VMAs!--what a blast. I spent every spare minute in junior high and high school making mix tapes, \u003ca href=\"http://120minutes.tylerc.com/\">watching MTV's 120 Minutes\u003c/a> and going to see live music. Naturally, as I eased into \"adulthood,\" I buddied up to as many musicians as possible. I released records on my own label, tour managed, sold merchandise, and frequently offered to carry my friends' cymbals or bass amps, anything to keep me close to the action. It wasn't until very recently however, that I decided to actually join the party. After much advocacy from my musical friends I decided to start my first band at age 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course it felt weird to have my first-ever band performance happen in my 30th year but hey, it's better now than never. It is by far one of the most fun, creative and exciting projects I've ever been a part of; I don't know what took me so long. It's a lot easier to find your treasure if you have a map, so for all you other wishers and hopers out there, I've created a step-by-step guide for getting your musical project off the ground. Follow these simple steps and you'll be beating the groupies away with a stick in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Step 1: Commit.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDedicate yourself to your musical project. Know that it's going to take time, patience and tons of practice to realize this dream but that it is totally achievable. If you're truly committed to the project, you'll make it happen. #fact\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_3926\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 394px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/5354793602/sizes/z/in/photostream/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3926\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-3926 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/5354793602_567152effa_z.jpg\" alt=\"5354793602_567152effa_z\" width=\"394\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/5354793602_567152effa_z.jpg 492w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/5354793602_567152effa_z-400x520.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Library of Congress/Flickr Commons\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Step 2: Know How You Want to Sound\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a good to have a general idea of what you'd like to sound like.

The clearer you are about how you'd like to sound, the greater your chance of success.

If you're way ahead of me and can already hack it on guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, or tambourine, you're in a much better position. Either way it's important to find other musicians who share your vision and are as committed to the project as you are. It can be tough to find these magical people which is why you may need to enlist the help of Craigslist.org. Don't be shy, plenty of bands have met through the want-ads. In fact, \u003ca href=\"http://www.kimdealmusic.com/\">Kim Deal joined the Pixies\u003c/a> after answering an ad in \u003cem>The Phoenix\u003c/em> newspaper in Boston asking for a bass player into equal parts Hüsker Dü and Peter, Paul and Mary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_3924\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/floridamemory/3948622676/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3924\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-3924\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/3948622676_3342aa41d3_o.jpg\" alt=\"3948622676_3342aa41d3_o\" width=\"600\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/3948622676_3342aa41d3_o.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/3948622676_3342aa41d3_o-400x280.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">State Library and Archives of Florida/Flickr Commons\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Step 4: Secure a Practice Location\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIf you don't have somewhere to practice you won't, so find a good place as soon as possible. There are tons of practice spaces available for rent around the Bay Area. Many other bands are willing to split the cost of a shared space so it's a great idea to look for a sublet. If possible, always opt for a mini fridge as well. Trust me, it's crucial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Step 5: Pick a Name\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nChoosing a name is important because well, it's your name, but don't freak out about it. It's okay to come up with a few ideas and then change your mind--\u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/40-names-of-bands-before-they-were-famous\">lots of bands do that\u003c/a>-- just make sure you've secured your name before your first show as it's tougher to change it after you've gone public (though not impossible, right Jefferson Starship?). You want to get a name as soon as you can so can give your project life. This will also help as you embark on Step 7. A band's name can be influenced by almost anything.

They're so stylish and outgoing and talented. It always looked like they were having the most fun--playing gigs, making music videos, going to the VMAs!--what a blast. I spent every spare minute in junior high and high school making mix tapes, \u003ca href=\"http://120minutes.tylerc.com/\">watching MTV's 120 Minutes\u003c/a> and going to see live music. Naturally, as I eased into \"adulthood,\" I buddied up to as many musicians as possible. I released records on my own label, tour managed, sold merchandise, and frequently offered to carry my friends' cymbals or bass amps, anything to keep me close to the action. It wasn't until very recently however, that I decided to actually join the party. After much advocacy from my musical friends I decided to start my first band at age 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course it felt weird to have my first-ever band performance happen in my 30th year but hey, it's better now than never. It is by far one of the most fun, creative and exciting projects I've ever been a part of; I don't know what took me so long. It's a lot easier to find your treasure if you have a map, so for all you other wishers and hopers out there, I've created a step-by-step guide for getting your musical project off the ground. Follow these simple steps and you'll be beating the groupies away with a stick in no time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Step 1: Commit.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nDedicate yourself to your musical project. Know that it's going to take time, patience and tons of practice to realize this dream but that it is totally achievable. If you're truly committed to the project, you'll make it happen. #fact\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_3926\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 394px\">\u003ca href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/5354793602/sizes/z/in/photostream/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3926\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-3926 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/5354793602_567152effa_z.jpg\" alt=\"5354793602_567152effa_z\" width=\"394\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/5354793602_567152effa_z.jpg 492w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/5354793602_567152effa_z-400x520.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Library of Congress/Flickr Commons\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Step 2: Know How You Want to Sound\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a good to have a general idea of what you'd like to sound like.

The clearer you are about how you'd like to sound, the greater your chance of success.

If you're way ahead of me and can already hack it on guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, or tambourine, you're in a much better position. Either way it's important to find other musicians who share your vision and are as committed to the project as you are. It can be tough to find these magical people which is why you may need to enlist the help of Craigslist.org. Don't be shy, plenty of bands have met through the want-ads.

There are tons of practice spaces available for rent around the Bay Area. Many other bands are willing to split the cost of a shared space so it's a great idea to look for a sublet. If possible, always opt for a mini fridge as well. Trust me, it's crucial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Learn to take the negative chatter in stride, use it to fuel your fire for more practice, better songwriting and a stronger stage performance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http://thesearethings.com/work/hatersgonnahate/img/hatersgonnahate-01.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"480\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Step 10: Always Have Fun\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nIt seems like a no-brainer but when people spend a ton of time together, tensions can rise.

April 18 through 21, SF Jazz is presenting two new projects based on works by Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson and poet Allen Ginsberg. Two very different San Francisco literary icons, two very different performances. Guitarist, composer and SF Jazz Resident Artistic Director Bill Frisell, actress/director Chloe Webb, Grammy winning producer Hal Willner, artist Ralph Steadman, and Academy Award winner Tim Robbins make up the creative teams for \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfjazz.org/events/season1/allen-ginsberg-kaddish\">Allen Ginsburg's Kaddish\u003c/a> \u003c/em>and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfjazz.org/events/season1/april20-kentucky-derby\">Hunter S. Thompson's The Kentucky Derby\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>Both events are described as multimedia projects: Steadman's art, Webb's direction and narratives pulled from the words of the authors and Frisell's music together make a performance of both the theater and jazz worlds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Allen Ginsberg's Kaddish \u003c/em>is based on the poem Ginsberg penned upon the suicide of his mother. Frisell explores the poem musically while Webb brings the words to life on stage. Steadman's art on screen vividly illustrated the poem's imagery. \u003cem>Hunter S. Thompson's The Kentucky Derby \u003c/em>takes Thompson's notorious essay and stages a live reading with Tim Robbins in the part of Thompson and director Webb in various other roles (including, she says, a Steadman illustrated horse). Frisell previously had set the essay to music last year with the \"musical radio play,\" \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.billfrisell.com/discography/kentucky-derby-decadent-and-depraved\">The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke to Webb (who first shot to fame as an actress playing the doomed Nancy Spungen to Gary Oldman's Sid Vicious in the 1986 biopic \u003cem>Sid and Nancy\u003c/em>) about the projects, Allen Ginsberg and Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo artist Ralph Steadman, working with Bill Frisell and SF Jazz and...mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Allen Ginsberg and Hunter S. Thompson are such iconic figures in American literature. How did it feel tackling them both in Bill Frisell's new SF Jazz projects?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that's amazing about Allen and Hunter was that they were both really singular people, kind of crazy who went kind of out of town and took as much space as they needed. They were outsiders, who eventually people turned around and saw things their way. They were indomitably devoted and changed whole genres. What Allen did for poetry, with \u003cem>Howl\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Kaddish,\u003c/em> still influences writers. Ralph took gonzo journalism with Hunter and it IS a genre now. What made them so iconic was a definite point of view. They both had a moral point of view, I know this might sound bizarre, but they were really about pointing out imbalance and injustice. I know who I am and I'm upfront about it, what are you? It's so funny because a lot of young actors and filmmakers making independent films are making films about the Beats, there's like five movies out about the Beats, while mainstream culture is obsessed with the conformity of \u003cem>Mad Men. \u003c/em>That's what the Beats were rebelling against. It's a gift, season after season, kids coming into adulthood get to discover the Beats and Hunter. I think Hunter's tricycle went on two wheels there toward the end. I guess if you're going to ride a trike, you want to have on all three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"If you're going to ride a trike, you want to have on all three.\" I'm going to start using that. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What I loved about Allen and the film that I made [for the SF Jazz performance] that goes in and out of Ralph Steadman's paintings he did for us for \u003cem>Kaddish,\u003c/em>\u003cem> \u003c/em>for me... I was a punk; the punks and the Beats are so similar. Allen loved to watch people throw themselves at convention like the punks, but there was also something very openhearted, something about really feeling things should be different. Allen found a way to stay with his own joy and keep plugging back into keeping that alive. I think if you just keep throwing yourself at the wall you get disappointed. Both Allen and Hunter had really big hearts, but they could get tired. I think Allen kept a kind of hopefulness alive. I think that's why there's still food in his poetry to nourish you, it's not just bitterness. When the crows come in to \u003cem>Kaddish,\u003c/em> it's such an amazing moment, dark but still something in the humanity rises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can you talk a little about working with Gonzo artist Ralph Steadman on the visuals?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing is Ralph's portraits are very specific, all the images are taken directly from the text. It was shot slow with a sort of hallucinogenic feeling. We're so used to cut-cut-cut now with editing that we sometimes spend a minute and a half in this on one image while the music goes on. His stuff is fresh, if you do it his way. Trying to be fresh makes you stale, trying to be true keeps you fresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you ever get to meet Ginsberg or Thompson? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't know Ginsberg. Allen and Hal [producer Hal Willner] were really good friends and I've heard all kinds of off-the-record tales of them. Also, I spent so much time with his life looking at family photos that the whole family is now familiar. I didn't know Hunter either. I actually just read a book by one of his ex-girlfriends I found in a clearance bin... it was very pro Hunter, not just about the insanity. I think the difference between Allen, a gay man so conversant with his inner feelings, and Hunter, who was such a Marlboro man is... how do you get to know those guys? I think they were such different points on the spectrum. They were trains with different stops. When Hal and I went over to London to see Ralph, we petitioned him to do the paintings for \u003cem>Kaddish\u003c/em> and to ask if it was okay for someone to play him in \u003cem>Kentucky Derby \u003c/em>in San Francisco. We stayed in his wonderful house where every room is a different color and filled with art; just imagine an eccentric English country gentleman's house. They had this little breakfast nook and sitting on a hook was this black hat... I knew it had to be Hunter's. It was just such a presence; you knew! I've never been so intimidated by a hat. I couldn't even ask Ralph if it was Hunter's hat. Hal didn't ask either... so I went down really early in the morning and I SMELLED it. It was Hunter's hat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I don't know if I should ask you to describe the smell of the hat... I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what it smelled like. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Keep in mind, I smelled the hat before breakfast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It gets even better; I was headed down to go swimming with Ralph. In Kent, in the English countryside where he has his house he has an in-ground, David Hockey, la-la-land pool that looks utterly like it belongs in LA. It's all open, there's a total risk a goat might fall in it. So, I was out to have my swim with Ralph in the middle of winter. It's just the idea of an Englishman in January in his heated pool and passing Hunter Thompson's hat on the way. There's a through line here of just being relentlessly yourself and having a life that delights you. It's the link between Ralph, Hunter and Allen. It's difficult to be an artist, to stay inspired, but Ralph and Allen figured out ways to enjoy their eccentricities so they can keep their childlike sense of things.

People always makes jokes that rock stars want to be actors and actors want to be rock stars, but I think we speak the same language. It's rhythm, motion, in words, in text and in the beat.

April 18 through 21, SF Jazz is presenting two new projects based on works by Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson and poet Allen Ginsberg. Two very different San Francisco literary icons, two very different performances. Guitarist, composer and SF Jazz Resident Artistic Director Bill Frisell, actress/director Chloe Webb, Grammy winning producer Hal Willner, artist Ralph Steadman, and Academy Award winner Tim Robbins make up the creative teams for \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfjazz.org/events/season1/allen-ginsberg-kaddish\">Allen Ginsburg's Kaddish\u003c/a> \u003c/em>and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfjazz.org/events/season1/april20-kentucky-derby\">Hunter S. Thompson's The Kentucky Derby\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>Both events are described as multimedia projects: Steadman's art, Webb's direction and narratives pulled from the words of the authors and Frisell's music together make a performance of both the theater and jazz worlds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Allen Ginsberg's Kaddish \u003c/em>is based on the poem Ginsberg penned upon the suicide of his mother. Frisell explores the poem musically while Webb brings the words to life on stage. Steadman's art on screen vividly illustrated the poem's imagery. \u003cem>Hunter S. Thompson's The Kentucky Derby \u003c/em>takes Thompson's notorious essay and stages a live reading with Tim Robbins in the part of Thompson and director Webb in various other roles (including, she says, a Steadman illustrated horse). Frisell previously had set the essay to music last year with the \"musical radio play,\" \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.billfrisell.com/discography/kentucky-derby-decadent-and-depraved\">The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke to Webb (who first shot to fame as an actress playing the doomed Nancy Spungen to Gary Oldman's Sid Vicious in the 1986 biopic \u003cem>Sid and Nancy\u003c/em>) about the projects, Allen Ginsberg and Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo artist Ralph Steadman, working with Bill Frisell and SF Jazz and...mushrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Allen Ginsberg and Hunter S. Thompson are such iconic figures in American literature. How did it feel tackling them both in Bill Frisell's new SF Jazz projects?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing that's amazing about Allen and Hunter was that they were both really singular people, kind of crazy who went kind of out of town and took as much space as they needed. They were outsiders, who eventually people turned around and saw things their way. They were indomitably devoted and changed whole genres. What Allen did for poetry, with \u003cem>Howl\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Kaddish,\u003c/em> still influences writers. Ralph took gonzo journalism with Hunter and it IS a genre now. What made them so iconic was a definite point of view. They both had a moral point of view, I know this might sound bizarre, but they were really about pointing out imbalance and injustice. I know who I am and I'm upfront about it, what are you? It's so funny because a lot of young actors and filmmakers making independent films are making films about the Beats, there's like five movies out about the Beats, while mainstream culture is obsessed with the conformity of \u003cem>Mad Men. \u003c/em>That's what the Beats were rebelling against. It's a gift, season after season, kids coming into adulthood get to discover the Beats and Hunter. I think Hunter's tricycle went on two wheels there toward the end. I guess if you're going to ride a trike, you want to have on all three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I was a punk; the punks and the Beats are so similar. Allen loved to watch people throw themselves at convention like the punks, but there was also something very openhearted, something about really feeling things should be different. Allen found a way to stay with his own joy and keep plugging back into keeping that alive. I think if you just keep throwing yourself at the wall you get disappointed. Both Allen and Hunter had really big hearts, but they could get tired. I think Allen kept a kind of hopefulness alive. I think that's why there's still food in his poetry to nourish you, it's not just bitterness. When the crows come in to \u003cem>Kaddish,\u003c/em> it's such an amazing moment, dark but still something in the humanity rises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Can you talk a little about working with Gonzo artist Ralph Steadman on the visuals?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing is Ralph's portraits are very specific, all the images are taken directly from the text. It was shot slow with a sort of hallucinogenic feeling. We're so used to cut-cut-cut now with editing that we sometimes spend a minute and a half in this on one image while the music goes on. His stuff is fresh, if you do it his way. Trying to be fresh makes you stale, trying to be true keeps you fresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you ever get to meet Ginsberg or Thompson? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I didn't know Ginsberg. Allen and Hal [producer Hal Willner] were really good friends and I've heard all kinds of off-the-record tales of them. Also, I spent so much time with his life looking at family photos that the whole family is now familiar. I didn't know Hunter either. I actually just read a book by one of his ex-girlfriends I found in a clearance bin... it was very pro Hunter, not just about the insanity. I think the difference between Allen, a gay man so conversant with his inner feelings, and Hunter, who was such a Marlboro man is... how do you get to know those guys? I think they were such different points on the spectrum. They were trains with different stops. When Hal and I went over to London to see Ralph, we petitioned him to do the paintings for \u003cem>Kaddish\u003c/em> and to ask if it was okay for someone to play him in \u003cem>Kentucky Derby \u003c/em>in San Francisco. We stayed in his wonderful house where every room is a different color and filled with art; just imagine an eccentric English country gentleman's house. They had this little breakfast nook and sitting on a hook was this black hat... I knew it had to be Hunter's. It was just such a presence; you knew! I've never been so intimidated by a hat. I couldn't even ask Ralph if it was Hunter's hat. Hal didn't ask either... so I went down really early in the morning and I SMELLED it. It was Hunter's hat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I don't know if I should ask you to describe the smell of the hat... I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what it smelled like. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Keep in mind, I smelled the hat before breakfast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It gets even better; I was headed down to go swimming with Ralph. In Kent, in the English countryside where he has his house he has an in-ground, David Hockey, la-la-land pool that looks utterly like it belongs in LA. It's all open, there's a total risk a goat might fall in it. So, I was out to have my swim with Ralph in the middle of winter. It's just the idea of an Englishman in January in his heated pool and passing Hunter Thompson's hat on the way. There's a through line here of just being relentlessly yourself and having a life that delights you. It's the link between Ralph, Hunter and Allen. It's difficult to be an artist, to stay inspired, but Ralph and Allen figured out ways to enjoy their eccentricities so they can keep their childlike sense of things. Sometimes people use really severe drugs to maintain that feeling or sense of that childlike feeling, you know?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Not personally Chloe, no. I saw a very powerful anti-drug film called \u003cem>Sid and Nancy\u003c/em> and have left that kind of experimenting to minds other than my own. So, thank you for that.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>[Laughing] Hey, I was twenty years old when I made that movie, it was a good example for me too!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_3890\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 222px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/04/16/q-a-with-actress-chloe-webb-hunter-s-thompson-and-allen-ginsberg-at-sf-jazz/kentucky-derby/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3890\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-3890\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/04/Kentucky-Derby-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"Hunter S.

There was an all-pervading maniacal love for music at Bard. It was nearly ridiculous how voracious everyone was and I was no exception. I saw so much good music in the scruffy confines of the charmingly dilapidated Old Gym, where pretty much everything awesome that ever happened, happened. Bands that seemed too famous for the space (Le Tigre, Blonde Redhead, Yo La Tengo!) oftentimes played, feeling generous on their way to or from real concerts in New York City. In some ways, the concerts all blend into one when I think of them now, the famous bands alongside our friends. I remember the Boba Fett boys, and others like them, epitomized some archetypal Bard boy qualities; older than me, irreverent, cool as hell, handsome in a jagged featured, thin t-shirted way, listening to \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRuoXqpL6ZM\">Spacemen 3\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bV_f5PVTKs\">Jonathan Fire-Eater\u003c/a>, wearing scarves and so on. These boys’ crush-worthy mythologies preceded them. They were all seniors when I was a freshman and I only saw Boba Fett play once. At Old Gym concerts, people ran through windows, snuck vodka in their Snapple bottles and everything was perfect. When we graduated, we all moved to New York City. Somewhere along the way, Boba Fett became \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/challengeofthefuture\">Challenge of the Future\u003c/a>, for fear of being sued.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to live in the city much longer and one night I came home late from work to a note that said, \u003cem>I’ll move to the woods with you\u003c/em> and so we did. It’s those first months in the country, driving down the back dirt roads in my little red Toyota Tercel with a 5-disc CD player in the trunk, that I most associate with Yeah Yeah Yeahs first EP. My life had gone from very urban to very rural. I blasted \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PBl2qsYtDo\">\"Art Star\"\u003c/a> as loud as I could and drove unreasonably long distances to get anywhere at all.

I loved Karen O’s voice and swagger. YYYs contained everything, girly and hard, too-cool and unconcerned, stylish and rough.

I wore a weird black dress, red lipstick and danced until I thought my head might fall off, the night a combination of transcendent empty mindedness and giddy dance moves. \"I think that I'm bigger than the sound,\" Karen O sang with repetitive intensity on \"Cheated Hearts.\" She writhed and growled all over the stage.

It was a rowdy, busy year and perfect for some YYYs accompaniment. And accompany me they did, to readings and parties, while I wrote stories. In my post-grad school life, a lot of interesting things happened: I had to start trying to be a writer for real, which was new, scary and good, my break-up was reversed and out came \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/news/34796-karen-o-blitzed-out/\">\u003cem>It’s Blitz!\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2009 (the video for \"Zero\" was shot in SF!). Familiar but still unexpected, this album found YYYs keeping some core essence while also evolving. Again, it all felt very relevant and personal as I listened and attempted the same. Some claimed \u003cem>It’s Blitz!\u003c/em> was the YYYs trying to make a more mainstream album though it doesn’t really seem that way to me. Whether it’s true or not, being successful in that way doesn’t seem to concern them. Karen O told Carrie Brownstein in \u003ca href=\"http://www.believermag.com/issues/200506/?read=interview_karen\">an interview for \u003cem>The Believer\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \"...there’s no detachment when I’m up there.

A couple years ago at Public Works, I saw Nick Zinner’s \u003ca href=\"http://publicsf.com/exhibitions/nick-zinners-1001-images-2479\">1001 Photos\u003c/a> (he \u003ca href=\"http://www.jesse-pearson.com/interviews/nick-zinner/\">studied photography\u003c/a> at Bard). The tiny room was covered from floor to ceiling in photographs. They were rock-n-roll and travel photos, but, much like his band, they were also more complicated, chaotic, and compelling than just that. Brian Chase just put out an\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastvillageradio.com/content/content.php?id=5597\"> experimental solo album\u003c/a>. Karen O has a side project, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP6jfJtk-L4\">Native Korean Rock\u003c/a>, and worked on an opera called \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/arts/music/karen-os-opera-stop-the-virgens-at-st-anns-warehouse.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0\">\u003cem>Stop the Virgins,\u003c/em>\u003c/a> which I never saw but sounds amazing. Discussing the opera she said, “I feel like every five to seven years I really need to put myself in this position of discomfort and exploration, just to survive.” That clawing, sparkly angst is everywhere in YYYs music, and the desire for discomfort as exploration is both contagious and relatable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmRI3Ew4BvA&w=560&h=315]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>YYYs' newest, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.uncut.co.uk/yeah-yeah-yeahs-stream-new-album-mosquito-ahead-of-release-news\">Mosquito\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> comes out Tuesday. It’s been over ten years since I first heard them and they continue to feel not just relevant, but essential. The two songs I’ve heard indicate that I will be continuing my love affair. With the usual levels of ferocity, inchoate sexiness, and general bad ass-ness, \"Sacrilege\" and \"Mosquito\" are recognizably YYYs, but with something new added, as there is each time. Their music has always punctuated my life at the exact right moment in the exact right way. Even how Karen O recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/04/14/176830368/yeah-yeah-yeahs-on-love-songs-new-york-and-transforming-on-stage\">described being an artist \u003c/a>seems right: \"We've got a death grip on the adolescent way of feeling things,\" she said, later explaining,\"...having the mundane experience of living day to day, [but] experiencing things on this really kind of amped-up level.\" There aren’t many other bands from ten years ago that I’m still listening to with such excitement, or that continue to so consistently thrill me with new work. They have a brashness, restraint, melancholy, and feverishness that I just can’t find anywhere else, a combination of adolescent and adult, like we all are. In each song and with each album, there’s different ratios of these things, a dynamic sense of struggle and change. Their inventiveness means no one else sounds similar and they encapsulate such variety of mood and sensation. Somehow they are collegiate rowdiness, windows breaking, wilderness back roads, torrential downpours, new cities, transitions, tumult, adventure, and whatever comes next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcjPFAV1foU]\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YweT8jvGXI]\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

There was an all-pervading maniacal love for music at Bard. It was nearly ridiculous how voracious everyone was and I was no exception. I saw so much good music in the scruffy confines of the charmingly dilapidated Old Gym, where pretty much everything awesome that ever happened, happened. Bands that seemed too famous for the space (Le Tigre, Blonde Redhead, Yo La Tengo!) oftentimes played, feeling generous on their way to or from real concerts in New York City. In some ways, the concerts all blend into one when I think of them now, the famous bands alongside our friends. I remember the Boba Fett boys, and others like them, epitomized some archetypal Bard boy qualities; older than me, irreverent, cool as hell, handsome in a jagged featured, thin t-shirted way, listening to \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRuoXqpL6ZM\">Spacemen 3\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bV_f5PVTKs\">Jonathan Fire-Eater\u003c/a>, wearing scarves and so on. These boys’ crush-worthy mythologies preceded them. They were all seniors when I was a freshman and I only saw Boba Fett play once. At Old Gym concerts, people ran through windows, snuck vodka in their Snapple bottles and everything was perfect. When we graduated, we all moved to New York City. Somewhere along the way, Boba Fett became \u003ca href=\"http://www.myspace.com/challengeofthefuture\">Challenge of the Future\u003c/a>, for fear of being sued.

I burst out into the night air afterward feeling particularly kinetic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/pmGNo8RL5kM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/pmGNo8RL5kM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YD6Tas0Cnw\">Is Is\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> another EP came out in 2007, as I was finishing graduate school. It was a rowdy, busy year and perfect for some YYYs accompaniment. And accompany me they did, to readings and parties, while I wrote stories. In my post-grad school life, a lot of interesting things happened: I had to start trying to be a writer for real, which was new, scary and good, my break-up was reversed and out came \u003ca href=\"http://pitchfork.com/news/34796-karen-o-blitzed-out/\">\u003cem>It’s Blitz!\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2009 (the video for \"Zero\" was shot in SF!). Familiar but still unexpected, this album found YYYs keeping some core essence while also evolving. Again, it all felt very relevant and personal as I listened and attempted the same. Some claimed \u003cem>It’s Blitz!\u003c/em> was the YYYs trying to make a more mainstream album though it doesn’t really seem that way to me. Whether it’s true or not, being successful in that way doesn’t seem to concern them. Karen O told Carrie Brownstein in \u003ca href=\"http://www.believermag.com/issues/200506/?read=interview_karen\">an interview for \u003cem>The Believer\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, \"...there’s no detachment when I’m up there.

A couple years ago at Public Works, I saw Nick Zinner’s \u003ca href=\"http://publicsf.com/exhibitions/nick-zinners-1001-images-2479\">1001 Photos\u003c/a> (he \u003ca href=\"http://www.jesse-pearson.com/interviews/nick-zinner/\">studied photography\u003c/a> at Bard). The tiny room was covered from floor to ceiling in photographs. They were rock-n-roll and travel photos, but, much like his band, they were also more complicated, chaotic, and compelling than just that. Brian Chase just put out an\u003ca href=\"http://www.eastvillageradio.com/content/content.php?id=5597\"> experimental solo album\u003c/a>. Karen O has a side project, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP6jfJtk-L4\">Native Korean Rock\u003c/a>, and worked on an opera called \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/arts/music/karen-os-opera-stop-the-virgens-at-st-anns-warehouse.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0\">\u003cem>Stop the Virgins,\u003c/em>\u003c/a> which I never saw but sounds amazing. Discussing the opera she said, “I feel like every five to seven years I really need to put myself in this position of discomfort and exploration, just to survive.” That clawing, sparkly angst is everywhere in YYYs music, and the desire for discomfort as exploration is both contagious and relatable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/jmRI3Ew4BvA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/jmRI3Ew4BvA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>YYYs' newest, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.uncut.co.uk/yeah-yeah-yeahs-stream-new-album-mosquito-ahead-of-release-news\">Mosquito\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> comes out Tuesday. It’s been over ten years since I first heard them and they continue to feel not just relevant, but essential. The two songs I’ve heard indicate that I will be continuing my love affair. With the usual levels of ferocity, inchoate sexiness, and general bad ass-ness, \"Sacrilege\" and \"Mosquito\" are recognizably YYYs, but with something new added, as there is each time. Their music has always punctuated my life at the exact right moment in the exact right way. Even how Karen O recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/04/14/176830368/yeah-yeah-yeahs-on-love-songs-new-york-and-transforming-on-stage\">described being an artist \u003c/a>seems right: \"We've got a death grip on the adolescent way of feeling things,\" she said, later explaining,\"...having the mundane experience of living day to day, [but] experiencing things on this really kind of amped-up level.\" There aren’t many other bands from ten years ago that I’m still listening to with such excitement, or that continue to so consistently thrill me with new work. They have a brashness, restraint, melancholy, and feverishness that I just can’t find anywhere else, a combination of adolescent and adult, like we all are. In each song and with each album, there’s different ratios of these things, a dynamic sense of struggle and change. Their inventiveness means no one else sounds similar and they encapsulate such variety of mood and sensation. Somehow they are collegiate rowdiness, windows breaking, wilderness back roads, torrential downpours, new cities, transitions, tumult, adventure, and whatever comes next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/IcjPFAV1foU'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/IcjPFAV1foU'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/_YweT8jvGXI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/_YweT8jvGXI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As you may (or may not) know, I died a few weeks before the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp 68 years ago, after my family was betrayed in our hiding space by a still unknown person. You \u003cem>do\u003c/em> know that, right? I'm only asking because your air of obliviousness after visiting the house in Amsterdam where I hid with my family to avoid Nazi persecution suggests you probably have not read my world famous \u003cem>The Diary of a Young Girl \u003c/em>or are all that familiar with my fate. I'm usually not a letter writer... history shows I preferred to compose my thoughts in diary form. But for you, Herr Bieber, I'm making an exception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you visited the building where I lived in hiding, now known as the Anne Frank House, and were confronted with my original diary pages, the everyday objects the residents of the annex used to keep some semblance of normalcy during a time of such fear and the stories of the people who lived there and eventually perished in the concentration camps (the only survivor from that attic was my father, Otto Frank, who published my diary and helped add a human voice and face to the countless victims of Hitler's campaign against the peoples of Europe) you wrote the following in the guest book:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/04/15/justin-bieber-hopes-anne-frank-would-have-been-a-belieber/#ixzz2QXf6pjtp\">“Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where to begin?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, thanks for calling me \"a great girl.\" Also, congratulations on knowing how to read and write. Now that pleasantries are aside, let's get to the real topic at hand: Would I, Anne Frank, author of one of the most famous personal documents written by a victim of the Holocaust (get an assistant to Wikipedia it if the word is unfamiliar) and subject of countless films, plays, documentaries and histories, have been a \"Belieber?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a word, no. I, Anne Frank, do not \"Belieb.\" Putting aside the fact that you thought it was appropriate to inject references to your own fandom into the guestbook at one of the most famous locations associated with the human cost of WWII, and the tremendous ego you must be in possession of to turn a trip to a place of such reverence into another public relations blitz, I'm just not into your music. I suffered a lot in my short life at the hands of ignorant goyum, what do I have to listen to \"Smile\" or \"Baby\" for? I already know that life isn't fair and is filled with pain: your music would just reinforce that. Besides, truth be told, another Justin long ago captured my fancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I, Anne Frank, am a HUGE Justin Timberlake fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where to begin on the topic of JT? First of all, have you heard his new album, \u003cem>The 20/20 \u003c/em>\u003cem>Experience\u003c/em>? Is there anything that man can't do? He sings, he writes his own music, he dances (all that boy band training from his N'Sync days really paid off), he acts, he's a great comedian and best of all, when he visits famous historical sights he doesn't put his foot in it the way some performers do (ahem). You, on the other hand, keep changing your haircuts.

As you may (or may not) know, I died a few weeks before the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp 68 years ago, after my family was betrayed in our hiding space by a still unknown person. You \u003cem>do\u003c/em> know that, right? I'm only asking because your air of obliviousness after visiting the house in Amsterdam where I hid with my family to avoid Nazi persecution suggests you probably have not read my world famous \u003cem>The Diary of a Young Girl \u003c/em>or are all that familiar with my fate. I'm usually not a letter writer... history shows I preferred to compose my thoughts in diary form. But for you, Herr Bieber, I'm making an exception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you visited the building where I lived in hiding, now known as the Anne Frank House, and were confronted with my original diary pages, the everyday objects the residents of the annex used to keep some semblance of normalcy during a time of such fear and the stories of the people who lived there and eventually perished in the concentration camps (the only survivor from that attic was my father, Otto Frank, who published my diary and helped add a human voice and face to the countless victims of Hitler's campaign against the peoples of Europe) you wrote the following in the guest book:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/04/15/justin-bieber-hopes-anne-frank-would-have-been-a-belieber/#ixzz2QXf6pjtp\">“Truly inspiring to be able to come here.

Now that pleasantries are aside, let's get to the real topic at hand: Would I, Anne Frank, author of one of the most famous personal documents written by a victim of the Holocaust (get an assistant to Wikipedia it if the word is unfamiliar) and subject of countless films, plays, documentaries and histories, have been a \"Belieber?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a word, no. I, Anne Frank, do not \"Belieb.\" Putting aside the fact that you thought it was appropriate to inject references to your own fandom into the guestbook at one of the most famous locations associated with the human cost of WWII, and the tremendous ego you must be in possession of to turn a trip to a place of such reverence into another public relations blitz, I'm just not into your music. I suffered a lot in my short life at the hands of ignorant goyum, what do I have to listen to \"Smile\" or \"Baby\" for? I already know that life isn't fair and is filled with pain: your music would just reinforce that. Besides, truth be told, another Justin long ago captured my fancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I, Anne Frank, am a HUGE Justin Timberlake fan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where to begin on the topic of JT? First of all, have you heard his new album, \u003cem>The 20/20 \u003c/em>\u003cem>Experience\u003c/em>? Is there anything that man can't do? He sings, he writes his own music, he dances (all that boy band training from his N'Sync days really paid off), he acts, he's a great comedian and best of all, when he visits famous historical sights he doesn't put his foot in it the way some performers do (ahem). You, on the other hand, keep changing your haircuts. I love the new album, but for me nothing will ever top his solo debut \u003cem>Justified. \u003c/em>That album has both \u003cem>Cry Me a River \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Rock Your Body\u003c/em> on it.
