I got some year end wrap-up stuff for you guys:

"If Devendra Banhart arrived in the new millennium with something of the prophet about him, anticipating the torrents of hippie-folk to come with a wild-eyed fervor, then 2005 might be the year he finally went up to the mountain."

"Because he agreed to join them (after Skip Alan left to marry a French model; he spoke no French & she spoke no English!) on the condition they paid him. Skip had left 1/3 of the way through SF Sorrow & as EMI wouldn't give them any more money, they had to 'pay' Twink by giving him writing credits on tracks he had nothing to do with; he just played Skip's parts form the demos about 1/8 as well as Skip. So most folk think Twink was a mjaor player on SF SORROW he he was nothing of the kind. They had to finish the LP or it never would have been released; he had them over a barrel. Yep, it's a fantastic LP, but in spite of Twink, not because of him. Dick Taylor & Micky Waller hated him from the word go. Plus, he exploited Syd in Stars. He just wanted another 'in'. His solo stuff is hippy-shit, as is he."

"Take every bad idea that rock's ever produced, put it all into songs and then use a contemporary rock producer from 1996 to mix it in a complete middle-of-the-road rock way and it couldn't be better," comments Neil about the way Sweet Sixteen was constructed.

Yeah, right.

NEW YORK -- Attention, rock 'n' rollers. Elton John is sick of your tattoos and piercings. John, who will perform at the third Fashion Rocks concert Sept. 7 at Radio City Music Hall, says he'd like American bands to adopt the cutting-edge, glam-rock style made popular by his peers.

"It's been a thing the British have always been very good at, with Bowie, myself, T.Rex, the Who, Queen. ... We all embraced that side of it," John, 59, tells Fashion Rocks magazine, on newsstands Aug. 8.

"And I think it's good that some American bands are beginning to do that, but it's still very rare for bands to make a real effort. So when you get groups like The Killers and Scissor Sisters who come along, it's thrilling. I'm so over the tattoos and the T-shirts and rings through the noses. It's not pretty, it's not pleasant, it's not exciting. Please stop it now."

The Stone Roses, The Stone Roses
Nominated by Eddie Argos of Art Brut

They're totally overrated. Plus they covered Scarborough Fair. I don't understand why people still play their music in nightclubs - it makes me really angry. When I'm drunk in a club I usually end up arguing with the DJ who's playing them. The Stone Roses were an awful, awful band. They were uncharismatic, their lyrics are nonsensical and their music is dreary. Also, we have them to thank for Oasis, although at least Noel Gallagher is funny and Liam is a bit of a pop star. The Roses make me think of kids older than me swaggering around with bowl haircuts and affecting Manchester accents. It makes my skin crawl. And all their fans are so smug: "Oh, you don't understand it." I do understand it! It's ridiculous that it regularly gets voted in at the top of those "greatest British album ever" polls. They spawned a new thug-boy pop culture.
