QUOTE OF THE DAY: "'Owner of a Lonely Heart.' Hmm: it's by Yes, a group about which I always thought, well, no. Too much noodling. The singer made the guy from Rush sound like James Earl Jones. The entire point of the band seemed to be 'okay, you get stoned, and we?ll play in 7/8 time and mix the bass like a lead instrument.'"- James Lileks, giving us, for the first time, an all-New Wave Bleat. He also mentions that Dylan's "Positively Fourth Street" is about 4th Street in Minneapolis, and not the one in Greenwich Village. I don't know whether to take more regional pride from that bit of information, or less.
