Diggedy Derek said:the Johnny Cash prison albums from Fulsom and San Quentin turned my head around completely. They're totally astonishing, and contra Dominic, often very testosterone filled- "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die", that sort of thing. I can't quite say why, but the astonishing ballsiness (pun intended) of the music makes it utterly compelling.
Diggedy Derek said:I have a slightly irrational but all consuming hatred of Yo La Tengo and The Pixies.
