Now "This is the Day" is being used in a Dockers ad.
In my head, I equate The The with Radiohead. Except for the part where I enjoy listening to The The, and have never really grokked Radiohead.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
But the three people who got it are the ones who probably spend the most time with music. I bet Liese and Corwood get it in one.
Chatty!co-worker (who's been in a band since before I was in high school, I'm pretty sure) guessed the other 3 members before guessing the drummer.

He's failed miserably at music geekery. I didn't even have to think about it. The cockiest and most uncomplicated looking person is going to be your drummer in most instances where your band isn't Rush or The Band (or The Carpenters or VU - there are plenty of exceptions, obviously, but they played to the mean with this game).

Hah! Am not sure if this describes the drummer in my band or not. If you're just looking at our arms you can tell who the drummer is immediately though. The easiest way to tell would be in a handshake test. She'll crush your hand without even trying.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Pete (who has listened to the whole thing a couple of times) thinks it's one of NIN's better albums.
I would actually place it second, behind only the groundbreaking Pretty Hate Machine. I had real troubles with the other two.

I guess I put them in the same overlooked slot as The Blue Nile.
Yeah, OK, hyperbole got the better of me. But I was listening to Soul Mining, and realised that only music geeks really remember them at all.
