MS: "I've always been a big believer that vinyl is the most intimate way to listen to music," Feldman said. "You take the record out, put it on, you have to flip it over to the second side if you want to continue to listen to it. In the digital age, all of that has gotten cheapened, it's become disposable. With vinyl, it's almost like you cherish it, you hold it closer. It's more of a personal experience, and that's the way music is supposed to be."
The 10 All-Time Worst Choices for Super Bowl Halftime Performer (Cracked)
MS: 8. John Goodman
Super Bowl XXXI, 1997 - Packers Vs. Patriots
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
"Say, Goodman really looks like your average football fan: he's fat, whiskery and is a legitimate heart attack risk any time he's standing upright. Those slobs will love him."
WHY THEY PICKED WRONG
Goodman performed as part of the new Blues Brothers, an outfit that specialized in pissing on the grave of the late, beloved John Belushi. If there's one thing those slobs don't like, it's Dan from Rosanne dishonoring Bluto from Animal House. But you can never accuse the halftime promoters of doing anything half way. They also got professional-Belushi-legacy-ruiner Jim Belushi in on the performance. Not only was this one of the worst Super Bowl halftime shows, it may have been the worst musical performance ever.
Rachael Ray Asks Battles, Holy Fuck to Play SXSW Party (Pitchfork)
MS: Regardless, we've just received confirmation that yes, Rachael Ray did indeed invite Battles to perform at her SXSW party. And Holy Fuck too! (Can you even say that word on the Food Network?) Alas, Battles won't be participating-- they aren't doing SXSW at all this year. No word yet on Holy Fuck.
According to this Earl Boykins post, Rachael's party is called "FEEDBACK Showcase...a feast of hot bands and tasty foods" and is taking place Saturday, March 15 from 12pm to 6 pm (rumor has it that it will take place at Beauty Bar).
