Lydia Lunch Quote of the Day

"You'd have to be an idiot not to be enraged at the world today. Critics say my work is shocking, but there's no way it can compare with reality -- that's the true obscenity. inner-city poverty, and those bombings in Sudan and Afghanistan."

Mises Quote of the Day

"The boom produces impoverishment. But still more disastrous are its moral ravages. It makes people despondent and dispirited. The more optimistic they were under the illusory prosperity of the boom, the greater is their despair and their feeling of frustration. The individual is always ready to ascribe his good luck to his own efficiency and to take it as a well-deserved reward for his talent, application and probity. But reverses of fortune he always charges to other people, and most of all to the absurdity of social and political institutions. He does not blame the authorities for having fostered the boom. He reviles them for the inevitable collapse."

Anthem Of The Sun - The Grateful Dead
I've always loved this album. It's a sonic collage of psychedelia, musique concrete, prepared piano, live jams, and general musical insanity. Joe Smith, president of Warner Bros. at the time, was noted as calling Anthem of the Sun as "the most unreasonable project with which we have ever involved ourselves."
