saw some people chirping about this, had to write a quick op-ed. yes, jay-z deserves to headline the super bowl! rollingstone.com/music/music…

Jay-Z Deserves the Super Bowl Halftime Gig

He's one of the greatest rappers of all time, and questions about his Super Bowl performance are misguided at best.

it was a horrible and traumatic day, but to me the fact that new york is still here 25 years later, still home to people from all over the world, speaking all kinds of languages, with all kinds of beliefs — that new york is still new york — says a lot.

Ten-minute versions of songs, playing covers...Is Geese secretly a jam band?? Cameron Winter: "We're not grateful and we're not dead, though. Neither of those things. All rock bands are the same. People think they're so different. You know, you go to a Phish show and a Radiohead show, they're not that fucking different."

From Rolling Stone's new cover story with Geese: Drummer Max Bassin talks about how the band gathered at his place in Ridgewood to watch Game Five of the NBA Finals, then went outside to celebrate. “Pretty immediately, someone clocked that all of Geese was standing on a corner in Ridgewood,” Bassin recalls. “I was like, ‘OK, we should probably go back in as soon as possible.’”

From Rolling Stone's new cover story with Geese: Cameron Winter describes the same scene after the Knicks won the NBA championship. “I don’t know why the fuck Max lives in Ridgewood,” he says, referencing the neighborhood whose per-capita listens to Geese’s music likely outpace much of the city’s. “It’s the belly of the beast. It’s like throwing a mango to an anthill.”
