Explosions From The Stars

Keith Richards (via fuckingtubular):

“(N)obody really understands about the effect that certain rhythms have on people, but our bodies beat. We’re only alive because the heart beat keeps going on all the time. And also certain sounds can kill. It’s a specialty of the French for some reason. The French are working with huge great speakers which blow down houses and kill laboratory technicians with one solitary blast. I mean, the trumpets of Jericho and all that. I’ve seen people physically throw up from feedback in the studio. It’s so loud it started their stomach walls flapping. That’s the most obvious aspect of it. But on another level, if you go on to Africa or Jamaica, you see people living to that rhythm. They eat, talk, walk, fuck, sleep, do everything to that rhythm.”

“There are sensitive guys with guitars who are depressing, and then there are some, like our friend Mr. Oberst, who express their pain, and it feels sad, but it resonates so deeply with hope and passion that it grabs your heart. That’s what sets Conor apart.”
