		<title>Pere Ubu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;For God’s sakes Lemon, we’d all like to flee to the Cleve and club up at the Flats and have lunch with Little Richard, but we fight those urges.&#8221; &#8212; Jack Donaghy to Liz Lemon, from an episode of 30 Rock &#8220;Here&#8217;s the place where there used to be industry.&#8221; &#8212; from the Hastily Made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coldplay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you are heading east on Interstate 24 in Tennessee about twenty miles outside of Chattanooga, you will drive through a town named Kimball&#8212;a town that you can barely see because of the mountains that stand in the way. You will curve south before being redirected eastward by way of the Interstate&#8217;s brief heartbeat monitor-shaped [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Stone Roses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[[Editor's note: the eponymous debut album by The Stone Roses had four releases throughout its first two years of life---the original 1989 UK release, the original 1989 US release, the 1989 US re-release, and the 1991 UK re-release. The original UK release, which is the release that this post will refer to unless otherwise noted, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brian Eno</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;As a result of going into a subway station and meeting Andy [Mackay], I joined Roxy Music, and, as a result of that, I have a career in music. If I&#8217;d walked ten yards further on the platform, or missed that train, or been in the next carriage, I probably would have been an art [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Orb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Then the music begins to suggest other things to your imagination. They might be, oh, just masses of color or they may be cloud forms or great landscapes or vague shadows or geometrical objects floating in space.&#8221; &#8212; Deems Taylor &#8220;Drawing as much from Pink Floyd and Doctor Who as from Brian Eno, the album [...]]]></description>

		<title>Primus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my all-time favorite stories in the history of rock is the one involving Les Claypool auditioning for Metallica. Metallica&#8217;s original bass player, Cliff Burton, died suddenly and tragically in 1986 and Claypool showed up for an audition after Metallica lead guitarist and friend Kirk Hammett suggested that he try out. For those of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Chemical Brothers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the mid &#8217;90s, after Kurt Cobain decided to end his life by way of a shotgun and MTV decided to significantly scale back its music video operations in exchange for foisting Chris Hardwick, as well as the loathsome nesting dolls that became The Real World, upon us (per their 1981 agreement with the Devil) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Led Zeppelin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We were playing in one room in a house with a recording truck, and a drum kit was duly set up in the main hallway, which is a three storey hall with a staircase going up on the inside of it. And when John Bonham went out to play the kit in the hall, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Big Star</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not a musician. Never been one. On a random day in fourth grade at the Catholic school I went to, my class was herded to an all-purpose room to see if any of us were interested in learning an instrument. This being 1985 or 1986 (I forget which year), when asked which instrument [...]]]></description>

		<title>Minutemen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Minutemen was a San Pedro CA-based punk band from 1980 to 1985. They were one of the first bands signed to the SST Records label (I believe they were the second band ever signed, after Black Flag). Their brand of punk music was predicated on brevity&#8212;between their four LPs and eight EPs you can count [...]]]></description>
