Methinks at least one person in our office who is not me is gonna be super jazzed about this. Maybe she'll do this at their wedding.

​Yeah, some wacky and/or poignant stuff happened at last night's Rock Hall induction, but rest assured that this moment, captured by the NYT's Dave Itzkoff, was the highlight. "Roll over Woodstock, we won," Iggy declared, upon the Stooges' official acceptance, alongside ABBA, the Hollies, Jimmy Cliff, and Genesis. Phish were also involved, and Wyclef. So, again: This was the highlight.

​"Not sure whose fantasy this is," notes friend-of-SOTC Ryan Dombal on his indispensable, visually arresting Twitter feed. Our obsession with this fine lady only grows. Let this also serve as notice that Oscar the pink monkey has been safely recovered.

​Above is the letter Jim Morrison sent artist Thomas E. Breitenbach in response to Breitenbach's earlier offer to paint a record cover for the Doors. Morrison's concept, in part: "Try doing a triptych. The left panel depicting a radiant moon-lit beach and an endless stream of young naked couples running silently along the water's edge. On the beach, a tiny infant grins at the universe and around its crib stand several ancient, old people." The other two suggested panels are, of course, equally bonkers. Morrison would die less than a year later, but the triptych survives at Breitenbach's blog, as does the rest of the transcription of the letter, courtesy of the always reliable Letters of Note.

​That right there is the man himself's first listen to The Brutalist Bricks, a record we are very much looking forward to and are happy to see even now exists in a kind of physical form. [@tedleo]

​That right there is a letter Joe Strummer wrote in response to a query sent to him by the documentary producer Mark Hagen, who wanted his opinion on Springsteen for a documentary that would ultimately air as 1998's Bruce Springsteen: A Secret History. Humming and ready to take us on a golden ride way out somewhere in the yonder indeed. [Letters of Note, who else?]

Hearing tell of this on the Internet, I was braced for some theatrical pratfall, but frankly she handles this pretty well. Skip to 2:55 when you get tired of the song, which you will, incidentally, real quick.

That right there are some dangerously vibrating windows outside a club in Cologne, Germany, a city clearly not built with a band as loud as Sunn O))) in mind. [via Ideologic]

​Attention sports fans: Universally beloved baseball announcer Tim McCarver has a new album of standards. Which he sings. Tim McCarver. Seriously. So the distinguished gentlemen over at Deadspin commissioned North Carolina DJ A-Styles to remix a track. Behold the results here. Have a nice day.

​Here we have Hilary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, part of Power Plays, a new exhibit of Kellesimone's work at a gallery in, uh, Santa Monica. The Margaret Thatcher and Ruth Bader Ginsburg paintings are way more intense. They're on view until January 2nd. Recommended for political junkies and/or super-creepy perv types.
