“I am always behind the shopper at the grocery store who has stitched her coupons in the lining of her coat and wants to talk about a 'strong' chicken she bought two weeks ago. The register tape also runs out just before her sub-total. In the public restroom, I always stand behind the teen-ager who is changing into her band uniform for a parade and doesn't emerge until she has combed the tassels on her boots, shaved her legs, and recovered her contact lens from the commode.” WantTwoRunningStrongWaitingBehindsWeekBandLegsStoresContactChickensBootsTapeUniformsCoatsLensesImpatienceTwo WeeksGroceriesRegisterParadesGrocery StoresShoppersRestroomContact LensesTassels Book:I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression Source: I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression
“I started playing guitar at the age of 8 or 9 years. Very early, and I was like already into pop music and was just trying to copy what I heard on the radio. And at a very early age I started experimenting with old tape recorders from my parents. I was 11 or 12 at that time and then when I was like 14 or 15 I had a punk band. I made all the classic rock musician's evolutions and then in the early nineties I bought my first sampler and that is how I got into electronic music, because I was able to produce it on my own. That was quite a relief.” TryingYearsFirstsMadeAgeAbleParentMy OwnHeardRocksProduceEvolutionBandMusicianMusic IsGuitarRadioPopsClassicReliefCopiesPunkTapePop MusicRock MusicElectronic MusicRecordersPlaying GuitarClassic RockRock Musicians Author:Christian Fennesz

“It became kind of a fad in the late '70s to try to help people wake up out of comas by hearing things that they liked. I remember we sent out about six tapes. We heard that we were this one kid's favorite band so we sent a tape that said, "Hey this is Motörhead.
