“This next one is the first song on our new album…” Cheap Trick as sampled by The Beastie Boys

“Checkin’ in every morning to the sound of steam and caffeine, the sludge in the bottom of the cup just like the sludge in the stream…” Bob Mould, Black Sheets of Rain

“unhealing incisions, path that turns vicious,
a recurring sequence or an unbroken line,
it makes no difference to the one that's analyzed,
it's all fate so be resigned.” Jawbox, Cutoff
