Ill Spector: Millennial The Eagles???
This is a quote from early in the third chapter of a book called Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. This is a book that I don't like very much but loved in 8th grade. Before I was in a band, before I played an instrument, before I even listened to music, I loved the stories of Dirk Gently. So, when my friends and I started a band in middle school, I suggested this line as a name, and, being in middle school, misspelled specter as "spector". This was, more or less, how the band started; as middle schoolers who couldn't play our instruments, misspelling words, and deciding we liked it better that way. And this is, more or less, how the band has stayed since then.
While in an earlier post today, we told the story of Lance Allen, who learned how to make some decent money online with his music, Nick Roberts of the indie band And The Giraffe from Nashville, Tennessee has learned a completely different lesson.
