P-C: thanks! I probably would. I've liked the Of Montreal I've heard, and anyone in the Elephant 6 Collective is a priori jake with me.
Btw, I don't know if you checked your email: Eliot passed the bar.)
I saw! Hell yeah! I also emailed you an apology back yesterday (re: my backchannel screw-up) and have heard not a peep from you since, from which I can assume that either a) you are busy or b) you'd rather leave me twisting in the wind, curious as to whether I've finally gone too far in my oblivious offense-giving.
Now playing: The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads, disc two. Which brings the funk.
Note to Red Sox fans: Joe Pernice has recorded a very silly song about Manny Ramirez.
He and Bob (I guess) were in the booth with Jerry Remy and Sean McDonough (or Don Orsillo) on NESN the other night talking about the song. I hadn't heard the song, and had no idea who they were (I missed the introductions).
Cut the Robbie Fulks track, if it's not too late.
No way, man, I love that song. Country songs about screwball comedy actresses are always gold with me.
Hec's Top Five Country Songs About Screwball Comedy Actresses

"Irene Dunne and the Trail of Tears" - Johnny Cash
"I Still Remember Myrna Loy" - Willie Nelson
"Carole Lombard Is A Lonesome Fugitive" - Merle Haggard
"She's a Ball of Fire" - Lefty Frizzell (about Babara Stanwyck, 'natch)
"Claudette Hike That Skirt For Me" - Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys
Thanks, Jon. The Manny song is mine!
I'm recusing myself because I already listened to both segments (
Erin asks, Dan Savage answers.)
I wouldn't purposely keep you twisting, Hayden. Mostly a), mixed with some spaciness and general (current events-driven) bummed-outedness making it hard to concentrate. I'm not offended. I'm kinda hungry, but not offended.
Sorry about the hunger and any other events driving your bummed-outedness. I was just kidding around.
News: Tobey Torres is no longer with Snake River Conspiracy. The new chick they have singing is OK, I suppose, but doesn't seem to have quite the same oomph.
Back from a concert. The Reputation, Visqueen, The Muffs.
I am now partially deaf.
