The Long Winters

perhaps an underwater version of the glass menagerie should be created, with laura as a shy mermaid who spends her days polishing her narwhal figurine. she was content to stay at home in the family's rocky outcropping, until her mother took up the notion to find a gentleman caller. tragedy strikes f...

stop me if you've heard this one before, but i was given a colony of mushroom spores, and after i watered them for perhaps a week, they started to grow. like a chia pet, they grew grew grew.

yesterday i celebrated this amazing holiday gift by eating a very large mushroom omelette.

I think their new album is solid, especially the first four tracks. Sure, some of the songs are pretty parallel to those off their first album, but since I liked that music, I don't see why I shouldn't like the new songs too. Tracks 1 - 4 really are a treat though, and the cover art is classy, which...

I've really got nothing interesting. For an 80s impersonation party, I would like to be Menudo, but I really don't see myself pulling it off well. I'll have to think about that one. One year me and a friend went as The Beatles. We wore suits, and we each had two masks. Well, they were just pictures ...

So how about that interview on Radio K (10/9)... I guess everyone in Minneapolis now knows how to properly pronounce Barsuk. Aside from the fact that the dj made a bit of a fool of himself, it was a nice interview; I guess he was just in awe of you / Harvey Danger. At any rate, it was cool to hear y...

It makes no sense to say 'get rid of the album,' because what would be done with all existing albums? Well, they would still exist. All this would result in would be higher prices for collectors wishing to obtain still-existant albums. Also, getting rid of the album is just another way for the music...

Stupid... the perfect pop song... available to listen to on my international Northwest flight!!! Oooh, booyah!

eh, but I like Shapes better too.

I also hail from Minnesota, and was at the Minneapolis show in May. After hearing about a concert Sondre Lerche was playing at, I excitedly flipped through that Wednesday's City Pages. "What is this?" I thought to myself, "The Long Winters? How intriguing!" Boy, I've never been so right in my life. ...

geoffrey rush.... sexy.

it doesn't take much effort to sound like nico, just a bit of practice.
