In Praise of Life Itself

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Curled up in front of the hi-fi at the tender age of eight, sneaking an illicit listen to The Beatles' White Album, and attempting to decode its profound mysteries. Here was pop music with profundity. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ariel Pink, Pom Pom The Jesus and Mary Chain, Psychocandy The Velvet Underground, 1969: The Velvet Underground Live (with Lou Reed) Vol. 1 For their whimsy, for their raw nerve, for their enormity. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Resurrexit/The 13th Fret and the 15th Fret” This song is the perfect meditation on sound and abstraction in my catalogue. It has heavy religious overtones.
