My friend Jack posted this album cover on his IG story... funny because it does look like a Matador buzz band from 2010 cover instead of the authentic 1980 Nashville freak shit it is. June Carter's daughter with acid-house bass singin the Cash-Classic. Sounds like Orange Juice Rip It Up kind of? Bangs

Time to get this out of the way!
this is the greatest rock song ever made. The thing about the other greats… led zepp…. pink floyd… uh… the beatles? idk who else to consider…. and im purposefully not talking about the rolling stones BECAUSE this song is very stones inspired- but the big difference (as pointed out by lester bangs) is that while Jagger primps and preens, iggy writhes around and dares you to take a look at what it means to be horny, confused, dirty, no-dream, no-promise, no-skill, no-nothing. the real animus of the end of the fever dream sixties- that mask comes off and you get just a gaping and confused id. Ok those other bands i mention can rock, but i dont think i ever really feel their music in my guts… it’s more like a head high, wow far out man shadows are taller than our souls! that’s a cool wall made of bricks!
this is like a whole psychosexual unmasking- the hippies preferred making love, but i think everyone really just likes to fuck if you know what i mean!
like why did it take someone so long to just come out and sing so messed up / i want you here? Isnt that just the most honest way of expressing yearning…?
this has the velvet underground‘s errrr s&m “sexiness” but i just believe it more. way more. like being a teenager and getting that first real confusing, world shattering, despondent crush. it’s Primal.
You just cant beat that riff either.
just give it a listen.

when i worked at the Apple Store / Genius Bar in college, we were trained on "assuming positive intent" from customers and peers. at the time, when i was a shithead 20-year-old, i thought this phrase was such bullshit. of course i can tell when someone has malicious intent, why not respond in kind! but now that i'm a bit older, i've realized the real wisdom behind the idea "assume positive intent" is that, when faced with interpersonal conflict, it's better to take the path of least resistance and keep your cool.
for example, if i'm getting kind of annoyed with someone at work and i want to write a snarky email, i find it best to walk away from the keyboard and write my response when i'm feeling less activated.
the result is that i can feel good about how i handle my feelings, i reflect better on other people, and i'm being an actual grown up. ;~)
