    If this man wasn’t such a perfectionist and still released music we would be living in a utopian society by now

    How many Jazzmasters do you have? “Not a lot...10...maybe 12?...probably 12....well, there’s more....I guess 25......(pause)....I need more, you know”. Lol.

    "50% of everything I do is out of tune." Sounds just fine to me, Kev.

    Give this man a signature model...Mascis has 2, Thurston and Lee have theirs, Costello’s has one, TVL has one. This man has arguably innovated way more than anyone ever thought possible on a Jazzmaster...he deserves it.

    It's thanks to him, Thurston Moore, J Mascis and Robert Smith that over the years I've not only bought four Jazzmasters , but i've also spent most of my spare time playing and listening to amazing music. It's the sweetest yet most overwhelming addiction a human being can experience. Thanks Kevin for making my uncool teenage years so cool!

    This guy has inspired me so much. Him and J. Mascis made me buy a Jazzmaster.

    Wish I had serious people who I could start a band with in this fucking city.

    As a young man in love I heard the album “Loveless” every weekend of my life for a year. You see, my girl went to college about 2 hours away. Every weekend she’d come home to see me and be together. Traditionally I’d drive her the 2 hours back to her school every Sunday evening. I’d help her bring some items back in her dorm, laundry and what not. We’d both walk out to my car and I’d drive back through the exit. Only then my girlfriend would get out of the car. (She really didn’t want to be left alone) Every time I’d watch her cross the parking lot about to wrestle another week of exams, testing and studying. I’d switch my CD changer to “Loveless” MBV and sadly listen on as I made my way home. The whole album made me reflect upon my state at the time and how I really felt about the woman I fell in love with that long college year. Really were simpler times back then.
