The Long Winters

If they don't travel back in time and lend that Madonna cover to tape, my entire life will retroactively be rendered worthless. Okay, so I'm exaggerating. But seriously: probably my favourite cover of all time. And I LOVE the original. + LET'S NOT FORGET "OUTSHINED" YES, BY SOUNDGARDEN ( here is a p...

"Pet Name" it is, from Factory Showroom and also the CDx2 best-of, which is called Dial-A-Song, though it features -- correct me if I'm wrong -- precisely ZERO dial-a-songs. Trés underrated choon, anyway, esp. TMBG-wise.

Lyrics, info & d/l.

He didn't send a source, so I have no proof that Barb actually said this, however. It's from an interview she did with NPR's "Marketplace." Audio here . Her remarks subsequently made their way out to Editor and Publisher , then Daily Kos , then the whole friggin' world. Doesn't really surprise me t...

Big ups for Flansburgh!

Totally! I especially liked the part where they played "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand.

Er, wait. That might have been DJ Fucking In The Streets.

Either way.

I forgot to mention that this is TLW's first appearance as an electroclash dub ensemble. Their genre-bending orchestrations -- deftly melding their previous alterna-grunge stylings with racks of synths, floor-rumbling beats and the addition of a female backing vocalist whose specialty is none other ...

This was mentioned precisely nowhere 'round these parts, so. Yeah. Looking around for things to do after I see HD rock Bumbershoot, I came across the following.

Hey, everyone? Buy the new nine inch nails album.

Right now.

Just buy it. You can thank me later.

That's all.

This wouldn't be such a problem if all the boys who listened to the same music as me weren't egomaniacal, heartless bastards. Still, I shudder to think that anyone I know would so much as touch (let alone romance ) someone who liked Dave Matthews Band with a stick, unless said stick was sharp, point...

04.01.05 I am traveling from Mpls to Ames, IA to see The Mountain Goats. Does that count? [Y'all should come!] Ah, I will be there. Renting a car and hitting the Ames/Beloit/Madison axis, then Chicago in May. This is all after last weekend, when I drove to Baltimore to scare the shit out of my frie...

All hail the queen of my heart!

Laurawr, if you're looking to stick with that "no talking to Bush voters" theme, you might want to check this out. *shiver* Anyway, advice.. I once Pricelined an exceptionally decent room at the Red Lion on 5th and Pine for $50 a night. Also, go to Fremont News . It's right next to the Sonic Boom 'r...

Wait-- this is important:

"groupies" or "young enthusiastic female fans"?

Is there a difference?

Of course not! Everyone knows only boys can really like music without wanting to fuck whoever's making it.

John Edwards' hair looked awesome.

I hate politics.

Please take care of my wife. She is moving to your city in four days.

Thank you.

Hey, I can fill you in on that one.
My best friend, the entity known herein as 'mildlyrestarted,' is actually Jessica Simpson.

Seriously.

I heard they're dicks.

I mean, dykes.

Sure, the "pro-life" stance is that abortion is murder (kinda like capital punishment, only, uh.. bad), but that's not the rhetoric the anti-choice side is trying to push through the American justice system, and that's the argument I'm talking about. Pro- and anti-choice groups aren't dedicated to f...

Saying that the pro-/anti-choice argument is, at its core, about differing ideas on when human life starts is like insisting that the debate over gay marriage is really about states' rights.

C'mon.

For the record, "pro-life" is an inaccurate term for those usually described as such; the entire basis of their beliefs is that they're anti-choice -- their stance isn't a positive one deserving of the prefix "pro-"; its entire ideology revolves around being against something. The little 'something'...
