Conversation of the moment

 <setting: Las Vegas, NV>

b1-66er: So I read this review...I think it was attached to Panera Bread on G maps ... and it said, "I'm not usually picky, but the grilled cheese I got has a huge opening with cheese everywhere resembling genitalia..." <pause> I'm not even sure what to say here. <pause> What does that MEAN?

The Accomplice: What do you mean? 

b1: Okay...so I'll say a word, 'genitalia.' what do you think of?

TA: It's external. But if you're talkin'' "grilled cheese sandwich," it's gotta be vulva...vaginal... somewhere in that world. It's an interesting word choice. The descriptor is based on a HOLE in bread. You've essentially decided that your sandwich is a Rorschach test and that You've decided to see sex in the cheese-blot.

Meandering quote of the moment

Whether it's a withering anthem like "Broken Circle (Over and Over)" or a tension-wracked 15-minute workout like "A Chance on Love (Love and Only Love)," Crazy Horse approach each song as an extended late-night drive on a lost highway, with Neil's needling solos serving as the high-beam guiding light, and each verse/chorus passage appearing like a fleeting sign of civilization before we slip back into the desert.

How does one use words to describe a festival designed to leave you speechless? Well, since we are highly paid professionals here, we'll give it a try: Electric Daisy Carnival, the world's largest electronic dance music festival, is so full of eye-slappin,' earhole-blasting whiz-banger-y, it's like waterboarding your senses in Red Bull and/or outfitting your adrenal gland with a booster rocket and launching that bad boy to the moon — but only if the moon were, in fact, a giant glowing subwoofer.
