Huh. Ple, did you know this?
Damn, I didn't. That's a right shame.

Hey! Look! Hall! Oates! (STILL AWESOME.)
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Holy crap, someone submitted Fall Out Boy. (Under The Cork Tree.)
An excellent choice from their albums, though I'd love to read one about Folie A Deux as well.
I'm excited by Whatever and Ever Amen and Very (two well-loved albums of my youth), John Mayer, and Jimmy Eat World appearing on that list. And hey, if someone writes the Kanye West one, maybe I can figure out why everyone is loving 808 and Heartbreak so much, and whether I should care too.

Did Gary pitch anything?
I don't think so. He's dean of his program for the next year, and probably too busy to think about writing a book.
Woooh! Which album?
First one, I think, although I believe he intends to talk about the Misfits, too, if they select his book.

808 and Heartbreak
It took a few listens, but I'm really loving this record right now. It's such a personal, sad record - I just want to hug his neck (as my mother likes to say). He lost his mom and broke up with his long-time girlfriend/fiancee last year and it certainly shows in this collection of songs. Don't get me wrong, it's probably my least favorite Kanye record, but I love that he did something different and I think it works well. Like Pitchfork said, after all the great music Kanye's given us, he's earned the right to do a record for himself. I don't often agree with Pitchfork, but I liked this.

Is that a twitch for 1990 in general, or about O:M? Because I luuuurves O:M.

A twitch for O:M, aka, the soundtrack to lord knows how many VERY LONG DRIVES to various places back when I was not the driver and therefore had to shut my cakehole.
I swear, every con-going alternadude I knew with a license didn't own any other music. (And remember, my previous-to-Goth musical history was all punk and new wave, so while I might appreciate it now, I sure as hell didn't then.)

XTC's Wasp Star
God, I *love* that album. That's one of a handful of albums where I love all the songs on it (instead of skipping past some on the CD/iPod).

Aww, I'd love to read his take on that record. I can put in a word with Mr. Barker to take his time over that proposal.
