Too pop for punk; too old school for the New Wave

About Me


one, two, three
If you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never
All the people are dancing
and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
If you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the wine-glass out
and drink a toast to never
Oh, someday I know
someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
you're my very special one
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars
and the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain, as they stand disarrayed
oh, but people look well in the dark
And if you close the door
the night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never
All the people are dancing
and they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
Cause if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again, once more
I'd never have to see the day again

François Truffaut - The 400 Blows

Cliche at this point? Yeah, as it popularized the infant La Nouvelle Vague (The French New Wave), but I hadn't watched it in probably more than 10 years. I watched it again and got so much more out of...

I found this today. This was an article Maggotron wrote and I cleaned up a bit before submitting it to The Miami New Times. They rejected the article. It's without drama; just some connections between...

The 4 eras of Popular Music

Popular music is everything that is not classical or traditional folk music. It began in the 1800's, which when you think about the history of all recorded music, that's very recent. In popular music,...
