“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

I was reading an article from 2003 by a reviewer and he said this:
Solo instruments and voice often show what a component does best, while dense, complicated music is full of opportunities to trip that same component up. When I want to lay a component bare, I listen to Mr. Bungle’s California [Ipecac 947447-2].
This album has earned me enemies at hi-fi shows, partly because it’s challenging to listen to but mostly because it can reduce some speakers and low-powered amplifiers to smoking, amusical rubble
I was curious as a cat to how this album sounds. Ordered the CD from Amazon and as one person who purchased said: "It will get you high without any drugs". WOW!!
The album of his first album gives a better picture of what to expect:
"Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"

The Beatles released their debut UK album Please Please Me on Parliphone on this date in 1963. Topped the charts for 30 weeks. Love Me Do and a bunch of others that pretty much changed the face of Arrakis
