Thank you for...Late to the trough as usual, but...<br /><br />Thank you for your reminiscences on Quine, the film score, and your earlier post plotting his progression from Akron to NYC, via St. Louis.<br /><br />A couple of years back, Probe Is Turning On The People! provided an excellent selection of Quine's coveted vinyls from the 50's. Most of these I freely confess to never having heard previously, being way too young and geographically distanced from those minor label imprints. The first I heard Quine's playing was on those Void-Oids 45's released on Stiff in the UK, and eventually Sire.<br /><br />I remember thinking his beard hopelessly contrived and out of place, too. In retrospect, given Richard Hell's artful self-consciousness - to say nothing of his later cultivating a goatee in an attempt, one suspects, to get 'serious' - that seems wholly juvenile and absurd. Of course. The two most intriguing guitarists of that period were Quine and Verlaine. That much is inarguable.<br /><br />Anyway. Thanks.<br /><br />And thanks, too, for that pic of Joey Dallesandro beasting into Jane while Serge gets all artistic. What a woman. And what a great film.ibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788986697776895039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3226924615283203864.post-5972763921777066132010-01-05T21:29:54.052-05:002010-01-05T21:29:54.052-05:00Thanks for posting this and also your excellent me...Thanks for posting this and also your excellent memories of Robert Quinne.

It's fantastic.<br /><br />Quine was a visionary, on par with Sonny Sharrock, another guitar great who never got proper recognition.<br /><br />As I recall, you're not a Matthew Sweet fan, but I love the stuff Quine (and Richard Lloyd) recorded with Sweet, especially the album, "Girlfriend."J.D.
