The decline of pop culture

This is an interesting link about what it means to be bad ass. I think the article is right in assessing the Cash photo as one of the best photos in rock and roll.

Pavement + Klosterman

Some of my favorite things put together in this wonderful article. Chuck Klosterman, author of a classic like Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, as well as other great works like "Killing yourself to live" and "fargo rock city". In this interview he mainly just talks with Pavement lead vocalist Stephen Malkmus about the bands cryptic songs, break up, and general philosophy. Anyway it is a great read, especially for an indie nerd like myself.
