YJ’s
YJ’s Snack Bar is a legendary coffee shop and snack bar in the Crossroads section of Kansas City, Missouri. The crowd that frequents YJ’s is tapped in and funky. Every time I hit YJ’s, I feel like I meet someone hip or hear something that blows my mind. Here is a collection of quotes I’ve overheard at YJ’s.
“If you hate the music you make, more people are bound to like it. That’s the way it works, right?”
“I thought this was a Steve Reich remix. It just had that certain use of minimalism.”
“I’m just looking for bands made by high school kids that hate their parents.”
“I plan on the show being kid friendly until 9.”
“Nothing is kid friendly.”
“A divorced couple is fighting over frozen embryos. That is messed up. It’s like paying child support for frozen embryos.”
“I know you had your first client in the dark room yesterday.”
“How do you know that?”
“I have my ear to the streets.”
“I have no idea what the concept is for this album. It’s called Xerox Vol. 3, so I would guess it is the sound of destructive copying.”
“He’s mostly into electronic music. Last week, he said he was into Vapor wave. I think he is just making up genres of music.”

What a personal breakthrough!
To be invited in a place, ANY PLACE- and actually get through 2 whole tunes- it’ll probably never happen again, but….
