Music Monday on Wednesday 10.24.07
Since "It's a Small World" and a handful of other songs are all I heard for the last week or so, I'll have to do this Music Monday with a distracted ear. Hope it still helps you keep a pulse on some good music out there.
Sufjan Stevens believes Rock and Roll is dead...
"Rock and roll is dead,” he says, voluble again. “Rock and roll is a museum piece. It has no viability anymore. There are great rock bands today—I love the White Stripes, I love the Raconteurs. But it’s a museum piece. You’re watching the History Channel when you go to these clubs. They’re just reenacting an old sentiment. They’re channeling the ghosts of that era—the Who, punk rock, the Sex Pistols, whatever. It’s been done. The rebellion’s over.
