Friends?
Oh, sure. I just hate you've known people who'd make you feel that way about a certain segment of the music geek population. Hath not a music geek eyes (behind those black plastic frames)? Hath not a music geek sunburned hands of men, farfisas, 5th dimensions, empires of the senseless, affectations, carl and the passions (so tough)? When you prick us, do we not write crappy indie-folk songs about being pricked and how sad it makes us?
The only version I had ever heard was by Guadalcanal Diary which I just mentioned here a few days ago.
That's so very cool.
the self-loathing makes me sad to think on, even if it means we have another hobby in common.
I think it's the new existentialism.
How many existentialists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Who cares? it's all meaningless.
Dw, I understand. I used to think I didn't like jazz. I really think I didn't like some things about jazz *fans*.
Jazz is fine, if still not my first choice.
Lost In The Grooves - Scram's Capricious Guide To The Music You Missed
That's a great title. And quite the list of contributors too.
I'll put "Regenisraen" up at Buffistarawk too.
Oh cheers. I've added my e-mail address to my profile.
And I'm on the DVD documenting the tour.
I have that! Where are you?
The one problem with the Beatles WRT hipsters is that it's very hard to pick a lesser-known Beatles song and lionize it, because their canon is so much the foundation of all modern pop music that there's no such thing as a "lesser-known" Beatles song. You have the same problems with the Stones and the Who as well.
Heh. We did have this
very
conversation in the last thread where I pimped "Dig A Pony" as the cool Beatles song to like. FWIW, John and Paul thought "And Your Bird Can Sing" was nothing but a trifle. But it's that cascading guitar that really makes that song.
Oh cheers. I've added my e-mail address to my profile.
Of course, now I've got to find my Game Theory comp which was not conveniently filed in the G section. It's probably snuggled up with a stack of other guitar pop in the nerdhole.

There's no need to go to all that trouble. A 15,000 word essay on it would do just as well.
Sorry I've been weird today. This massive editing project is eating at me, and it's been a pretty bad week overall. Today, I spent the afternoon feeling my brain implode from the sheer amount of data manipulation I had to do to come up with a reasonable faculty count. But the wife finished the second novel, hurrah.
Anyway, did anyone else get the More Like The Moon MP3s Wilco offered to people who bought Yankee Hotel Foxtrot? If so, why was "More Like The Moon" (the "title track" to the virtual EP) left off YHF and not recycled for A Ghost Is Born? I guess, moodwise, it doesn't fit either album. But it's damn pretty.
The iPod has been in a Wilco mood today.
OK, I sent Beach State Rocking to buffistarawk at gmail dot com
... to which I'd still like the password... someone? anyone?
And I'm on the DVD documenting the tour.

Near the beginning of the DVD, you can see our dog Prince modeling the Loud Family t-shirt and giving Alison Faith Levy a doggie smooch. Later on, during the segment with the fan interviews, you can see Prince again sitting between Gil & me as I blather on about hearing Game Theory for the first time.
