THOUGHT FOR TODAY

"There's something greater than you when there's a bunch of you assembled. That idea of a spirit moving through a group. It's not just a bunch of dudes playing guitar solos – something that can't be named happens. That's kind of the prize."

- David Parry from Arcade Fire, interviewed in The Guardian.

CHARLIE SAYS...

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

"Ever'body might be just one big soul,
Well it looks that a-way to me,
Everywhere that you look, in the day or night,
That's where I'm a-gonna be."

- Woody Guthrie, Tom Joad

IT'S RUINATION DAY!

"It was not December and it was not in May
It was the 14th day of April, that is Ruination Day
That's the day... the day that is Ruination Day"
