...quite a voice--almost possessing multiple chords in and of itself, almost dimensional and palpable. Some of us acquire a fuzzy other-worldliness when recorded on answering machines; Farrell, judging from his intermittent spiritual chats, always has this quality. The wheeze-buzz of an asthmatic--but electronicized and amplified--runs through it, buttonholing the ear on contact, and even more so with reverb...
...music industry is a curious beast. With Kurt Cobain's suicide and the subsequent self-destruction of the entire grunge genre, record companies suddenly found themselves scrambling for a new buzz word, a new formula that they could package and sell to teenagers across the country.

But there was another reason for the long wait. "There were as many men as women" in line, says Zomnir...

If we changed the age limit, we would not get a libertarian paradise. We would only get countless teenage alcoholics, even more than we have...
